5.4.1 General Rules

When you are programming own expressions, respect the following general rules:

  • Expressions must not have any side effects.

  • Expressions must not hold any state.

  • Expressions must be repeatable any number of times.

  • All top level expressions used in the workflow configuration must be Boolean expressions.

Depending on their arity, expressions may have a specific number of subexpressions, which are added through the addExpression() method. For example, a comparison has an arity of two, as it compares exactly two expressions. A logical expression like And or Or are n-ary, it must have at least two subexpressions, but may have any number of expressions. In contrast to that, a Not must have exactly one subexpression. If a maximum number of expressions is exceeded, a WfRuntimeException with the error code TOO_MANY_SUBEXPRESSIONS thrown.
