Question regarding outputsNewCASes

[Richard Eckart de Castilho <ec...@tk.informatik.tu-darmstadt.de>]

Hello,

if an aggregate contains a component that declares outputsNewCASes=true, must the aggregate then also declare outputsNewCASes=true?

Cheers, 

Richard

Nope. A common scenario is an aggregate containing a CasMultiplier
acting as a collection reader, creating CASes to be processed by
downstream components in the aggregate. The CAS input to the aggregate
could contain a pointer to the collection to be processed, and could
return the status of all processing when done.

If the aggregate is intended to return new CASes, the flow controller
will have to indicate that when processing for each new CAS is
finished.
