Custom Propagation?

Hello Again Clover World,

Has anyone created a self propagated custom component in Clover yet? If so, do you mind sharing your logic with me. I am needing a custom java comp. to self propagate its metadata out of a subgraph. Any help would be great!

Hi Darren,

CustomJavaComponent currently cannot auto-propagate metadata, neither you can set its output metadata dynamically (by code). There is already a new feature proposal in our system, so it might be available in some future version.

However, you may find useful the option to select metadata from an edge. This can be done by right-click on an edge → Select Metadata → Select Metadata from Edge and then click on the input edge. This way the subgraph is capable of metadata auto-propagation. Attached is an example graph and a subgraph, which is auto-propagating its metadata.

Hope this helps,

Thank you. Ill give that a try.
