How To Map Password Type Global Variable In Activity Input
As you may already know, you cannot map a global variable that is a password type to the Activity Input. You can only map it to a Shared Configuration resource when possible. One way to retrieve the global variable password value is to write a Java code. But there is another preferable way to have one less activity in your process definition, and that is using a Java Custom Function. Of course, you will still write Java code one time, but it's a whole lot reusable; and you can export it as a Project Library that you can use in a different Designer project. So you want to write a Java code, but you are not quite sure which JAR file the Java class is located; on the other hand, you know the fully qualified name of the class and the method name to invoke. Personally, I find it appropriate to use The Reflection API to write a few lines of code in order to achieve this. We want to have a function that retrieves the value of a password global variable passing the global variable path
