Process Elements

Xpert.ivy contains five process elements that can be extended with your own implementation. These process elements are:

These process elements can be extended by providing a Java class (Bean) that implements the required interface of the chosen process element. On the inscription mask of the process element, the Java class (Bean) which should be used by the process element can be configured.
