public class WfExternalMethodTemplate

extends WfInvokedMethodTemplate

implements Externalizable

Template for robot activities which are based on externally callable methods.

Use the newWfExternalMethodTemplate static factory method(s), not the WfExternalMethodTemplate constructor, to construct instances of this class. Instances must be constructed using the static factory(s), in order to ensure proper initialization of the instance.
