This component uses the Document Object to get the content and properties of the message. The result after executing the script should be set back onto the document object.

Functional Demonstration

Scenario 1

Execution of Groovy Script provided.
Configure the Groovy Script adapter as described in Configuration and Testing section and use feeder and display component to send sample input and to check the response respectively. In the example given below, the script provided is same as in the figure.

Useful Tips

Input message content and properties can be accessed using document object. For example, 'document.getText()' returns input message content. To access a message property named 'TestProperty, 'document.getRecord().getProperty('TestProperty')' returns the value of the property.
Message properties can be set using 'setProperty' method.
Message properties which are set on input message also appear on output message unless they are changed in the script. For example, if a property named 'TestProperty' is present on input message then output message also contains the property unless it is changed in script provided.
Output message content can be set either by using 'setText(String value)' of document object or by specifying a return value in the script provided. If both present, return value is set as message content.
The component uses the document object to get the content and properties of the message. The result after executing of the script should be set back onto the document object.
