Class examples.custom.CustomExpiredWorkHandler
Description

The custom expired work handler is a class that handles the tasks required for identifying and processing expired work items. For any expired work items found, the doExpirationAction( ) method is called. The doExpirationAction( ) method performs specific tasks when a work item has expired.

For example, you created additional properties in the custom action tab, those additional properties will become a part of custom expired work handler. The code in the custom expired work handler calls the getActivityProperties method to retrieve the additional properties which will then become a part of the custom expired work handler.

Another example would be if a work item expired in an activity, the method marks the work item as expired and then performs the action defined in it. In this example, it will reassign the work item to another user.

Note: For more details on custom send action class, refer to the ExpiredWorkHandler class and CustomExpiredWorkHandler interface on EPX Javadoc HTML Pages.
