initialize

initialize(configData)

The initialize method is called once when the runtime server starts. If there are any operations which may impede performance during runtime, such as loading a database table, they should be performed by this method.

The initialize method requires the following parameter:

configData - a map with key-value pairs of configuration data required by the callout.

Interact reads these values from the External Callout parameters defined in the Interact > Flowchart > External Callouts > [External Callout] > Parameter Data category.

If the initialize method fails for any reason, it returns CalloutException.

Return value

None.

Example

public void initialize(Map<String, String> configurationData) throws CalloutException
{
    // configurationData has the key-value pairs specific to the environment 
    // the server is running in
    // initialize scoreQueryUtility here
}
