This action must follow the Apply transformation action for the
event.
The following actions are the only actions supported between the
Apply transformation action and the Send global variable action:
Execute business logic
Extract global variable
Insert data
Set global variable
Remove global variable
Perform macro transaction
Pause
The above actions are useful if you want to
process the global variable before sending it to other portlets.
For example, you want to send the user ID entered on the login screen
to other portlets. In this example, you add an Apply transformation
action to transform the login screen and an Extract global variable
action to extract the region of the user ID input field and save it
in a global variable. Then you add a Send global variable action to
send the user ID stored in the global variable to other portlets.
The following actions are not supported between the Apply transformation
action and the Send global variable action. If any of these actions
are placed between the Apply transformation and Send global variable
actions, they are executed as normal, but the global variable is not
sent.
Apply transformation
Show URL
Forward to URL
Play macro
Send key
Disconnect
Portlet Prepresentation (Block Delimiter)
The Type specification for the
object contained in the global variable is supported only for JSR
286 portlets. If you manually add the type parameter to the screen
event source in a JSR 168 project, it is ignored.
