StateTask (Smart GWT LGPL Edition API 12.1p (2026-02-25))

java.lang.Object
- com.smartgwt.client.core.BaseClass
- - com.smartgwt.client.util.workflow.ProcessElement
  - - com.smartgwt.client.util.workflow.Task
    - - com.smartgwt.client.util.workflow.StateTask

All Implemented Interfaces:

com.google.gwt.event.shared.HasHandlers
```
public class StateTask
extends Task
```
StateTask can either copy fields of Process.state to other fields, or apply hardcoded values to Process.state via value.
Some examples:
- inputField: "a", outputField: "b" - copies "a" to "b"
- inputField: "a", outputField: "b", type: "integer" - copies "a" to "b" converting "a" to an integer
- inputFieldList: ["a","b"], outputField: ["c","d"] - copies "a" and "b" to "c" and "d" respectively.

    ID of the next sequence or element to proceed to if a failure condition arises, such as the output data not being convertible to the target type.
    
    Parameters:
    
    failureElement - New failureElement value. Default value is null
    
    Returns:
    
    StateTask instance, for chaining setter calls
    
    Throws:

  - getFailureElement
```
public java.lang.String getFailureElement()
```
    ID of the next sequence or element to proceed to if a failure condition arises, such as the output data not being convertible to the target type.
    
    Returns:
    
    Current failureElement value. Default value is null

    Does this processElement pass through output from the last executed task (i.e. transient state)? See taskInputExpressions for details on the transient state.
    
    Overrides:
    
    setPassThruOutput in class ProcessElement
    
    Parameters:
    
    passThruOutput - New passThruOutput value. Default value is false
    
    Returns:
    
    StateTask instance, for chaining setter calls
