Some common actions need a clear contract so they are defined as API first-class citizen. For example, this is the case for wizards or health checks. Here is the list of the available actions:
Close Connection
Mark an action works for closing runtime connection, returning a close helper object which do real close action. The functionality is for the Studio only, studio will use the close object to close connection for existed connection, and no effect for cloud platform.
-
Type:
close_connection
-
API:
@org.talend.sdk.component.api.service.connection.CloseConnection
-
Returned type:
org.talend.sdk.component.api.service.connection.CloseConnectionObject
-
Sample:
{
"connection": "..."
}
Create Connection
Mark an action works for creating runtime connection, returning a runtime connection object like jdbc connection if database family. Its parameter MUST be a datastore. Datastore is configuration type annotated with @DataStore. The functionality is for the Studio only, studio will use the runtime connection object when use existed connection, and no effect for cloud platform.
-
Type:
create_connection
-
API:
@org.talend.sdk.component.api.service.connection.CreateConnection
Discoverdataset
This class marks an action that explore a connection to retrieve potential datasets.
-
Type:
discoverdataset
-
API:
@org.talend.sdk.component.api.service.discovery.DiscoverDataset
-
Returned type:
org.talend.sdk.component.api.service.discovery.DiscoverDatasetResult

}
Dynamic Dependencies
Mark a method as returning a list of dynamic dependencies with GAV formatting.
-
Type:
dynamic_dependencies
-
API:
@org.talend.sdk.component.api.service.dependency.DynamicDependencies
-
Returned type:
java.util.List
-
Sample:
{
}
Dynamic Values
Mark a method as being useful to fill potential values of a string option for a property denoted by its value. You can link a field as being completable using @Proposable(value). The resolution of the completion action is then done through the component family and value of the action. The callback doesn’t take any parameter.
-
Type:
dynamic_values
-
API:
@org.talend.sdk.component.api.service.completion.DynamicValues
-
Returned type:
org.talend.sdk.component.api.service.completion.Values

{
"id":"value",
"label":"label"
}
]
}
Healthcheck

-
Type:
healthcheck
-
API:

org.talend.sdk.component.api.service.healthcheck.HealthCheckStatus
-
Sample:
{
"comment":"Something went wrong",
"status":"KO"
}
Schema
Mark an action as returning a discovered schema. Its parameter MUST be a dataset. Dataset is configuration type annotated with @DataSet. If component has multiple datasets, then dataset used as action parameter should have the same identifier as this @DiscoverSchema.
-
Type:
schema
-
API:
@org.talend.sdk.component.api.service.schema.DiscoverSchema
-
Returned type:
org.talend.sdk.component.api.record.Schema
-
Sample:
{
"entries":[
{
"comment":"The column 1",
"metadata":false,
"name":"column1",
"nullable":false,
"props":{
},
"rawName":"column 1",
"type":"STRING"
},
{
"comment":"The int column",
"metadata":false,
"name":"column2",
"nullable":false,
"props":{
},
"rawName":"column 2",
"type":"INT"
}
],
"metadata":[
],
"props":{
"talend.fields.order":"column1,column2"
},
"type":"RECORD"
}
Schema Extended
Mark a method as returning a Schema resulting from a connector configuration and some other parameters.Parameters can be an incoming schema and/or an outgoing branch.`value' name should match the connector’s name.
-
Type:
schema_extended
-
API:
@org.talend.sdk.component.api.service.schema.DiscoverSchemaExtended
-
Returned type:
org.talend.sdk.component.api.record.Schema
-
Sample:
{
"entries":[
{
"comment":"The column 1",
"metadata":false,
"name":"column1",
"nullable":false,
"props":{
},
"rawName":"column 1",
"type":"STRING"
},
{
"comment":"The int column",
"metadata":false,
"name":"column2",
"nullable":false,
"props":{
},
"rawName":"column 2",
"type":"INT"
}
],
"metadata":[
],
"props":{
"talend.fields.order":"column1,column2"
},
"type":"RECORD"
}
Suggestions
Mark a method as being useful to fill potential values of a string option. You can link a field as being completable using @Suggestable(value). The resolution of the completion action is then done when the user requests it (generally by clicking on a button or entering the field depending the environment).
-
Type:
suggestions
-
API:
@org.talend.sdk.component.api.service.completion.Suggestions
-
Returned type:
org.talend.sdk.component.api.service.completion.SuggestionValues
-
Sample:
{
"cacheable":false,
"items":[
{
"id":"value",
"label":"label"
}
]
}
Update
This class marks an action returning a new instance replacing part of a form/configuration.
-
Type:
update
-
API:
@org.talend.sdk.component.api.service.update.Update
User
Extension point for custom UI integrations and custom actions.
-
Type:
user
-
API:
@org.talend.sdk.component.api.service.Action
Validation
Mark a method as being used to validate a configuration.
this is a server validation so only use it if you can’t use other client side validation to implement it. |
-
Type:
validation
-

@org.talend.sdk.component.api.service.asyncvalidation.AsyncValidation
-
Returned type:
org.talend.sdk.component.api.service.asyncvalidation.ValidationResult
-
Sample:
{
"comment":"Something went wrong",
"status":"KO"
}
built_in_suggestable
Mark the decorated field as supporting suggestions, i.e. dynamically get a list of valid values the user can use. It is however different from @Suggestable
by looking up the implementation in the current application and not the services. Finally, it is important to note that it can do nothing in some environments too and that there is no guarantee the specified action is supported.
-
API:
@org.talend.sdk.component.api.configuration.action.BuiltInSuggestable
