Hi Tauqeer,
You can create a custom action element by implementing ElementInterface. Here are the steps.
- Create a new Java Class and extend it from ActionElementBase.
- Implement ElementInterface to tell CVP that this is an element.
- Overwride getElementName(), getDisplayFolderName() and getDescription() to give a meanigful name & description to your element.
- Override doAction() method and write whatever logic you want.
Here is a simple code snippet. I have tried it is working fine.
public class WebServiceAction extends ActionElementBase implements ElementInterface {
@Override
public String getElementName() {
return this.getClass().getSimpleName();
}
@Override
public String getDisplayFolderName() {
return this.getClass().getPackage().getName();
}
@Override
public String getDescription() {
return "This element does nothing :) .";
}
@Override
public void doAction(String arg0, ActionElementData arg1) throws Exception {
// write you logic here
}
}
Once you are done with your business logic. Follow these steps to see the element in the call studio.
- Copy compiled (.class) file of your Java Class.
- Place the compiled file into your VXML project classes directory (your-vxml-app > deploy > java > application > classes)
- Make sure you place the file according to your package hierarchy. If your package name is com.ef.customelement. Create the folder hierarchy (com> ef> customelement) and then place the file.
- Close your VXML application project and open it again.
- Double click on your app.callflow file.
- You should see your element under Elements > Local Elements.
Remember: You will not be able to see your element until you double click on your app.callflow file. Also, the element would not come up if you forget to implement a right interface or did not override the required methods.
Cheers!
