Dynamic Action

[EmmettBlake]

I spoke to Brian Barr about this.

Here is the basic idea

• Add a new stage type ‘Dynamic Action’
• Enable Business Object and Action to receive an expression / data item

We would like to create separate objects that share signatures:

* method/action names
* input parameters 
* output parameters 

They key here is I want to table drive configuration for selecting which object/method to call.

UI Mochup

Collection Example

This would allow me to build something that would look something like this

The reality is I would put the collection in an xml file that I would read as part of start up into the collection.

This would allow new VBO for each new implementation without changing the process.  To implement all that would needed is update configuration to point at new VBO.

Hi Emmett,
I assume many of us, at least me, are not going to open the images due to the URL they point to. In order for all of us to get a better impression of your idea, could you paste the images into the text?

@Paul van Doorn,

Thanks for the tip.  I removed the attachments and embedded the image.
