Help with Custom Process

RentProperty

I'm writing a custom process which will take in a string containing possibly more than one email address and returns any email addresses it finds in the input string based on a regex.

I want to create a new object with a email address attribute for each address (Execute multiple times).
It should also create the relationship between the InputObject and the new emailAddress object. (An inputObject can have many emailAddresses)

Any suggestions or examples would be appreciated!

Here is the code I use to create one new object (However I'am not sure how to

create the relationship and
how to execute multiple times, I have tried executing inside a loop but it stops after the first iteration)

			IDomainVersion domainVersion = (engine.getExecutionContext(this)).getDomainVersion();
			IEntityDefinition entityDefinition = domainVersion.getEntityDefinition("EmailAdress");
			IEntityTemplate entityTemplate = DomainFactory.createEntityTemplate(entityDefinition);

		entityTemplate.setAttributeValue("emailAddress", getEmailAddress()); // This getEmailAddress() methods returns a string for every match of the regex
                    //entityTemplate.setAttributeValue(); // Can this be used in the same way as above to create the relationship?

		engine.createEntityFromTemplate(this, entityTemplate, null);

Please send any examples you might have. I will try and make the plug-in available once it is finished. Thanks.

Kind Regards

1) To create a relationship, use the setReferences method.

2) How to execute multiple times. Your code:
entityTemplate.setAttributeValue("emailAddress", getEmailAddress());
will only execute getEmailAddress() once and return only 1 object. Probably not what you want. You will need a loop somewhere. I can not be more specific with out seeing the code for getEmailAddress() or what your tried before that did not work.

Thanks for the reply BobK!

I managed to fix the problem with executing more than once (it was just a simple java logic mistake).
And got the referencing to work using the setReferences method.

Works 100%. Thanks for the input!
