Clearing the contents of List/Map

It is a very common need to clear the contents of a list or a map, especially when you are constructing a list or a map inside a loop.In LC 8.2 we have added a function to which allows you to clear the list/map contents

But for those of you using previous versions you can copy the following script and paste it in the ExecuteScript component

import java.util.*;
ArrayList list = patExecContext.getProcessDataValue(“/process_data/listOfPrincipalRef”);

((HashMap) patExecContext.getProcessDataValue(“/process_data/inputMapOfAttachments”)).clear();
System.out.println(“******Got list ,size is “+list.size());
((ArrayList) patExecContext.getProcessDataValue(“/process_data/listOfPrincipalRef”)).clear();
System.out.println(“******Got List,size is “+list.size());

Where listOfPrincipalRef is a list variable defined in your process,inputMapOfAttachments is a variable of type map defined in your process

Let me know if you have any questions

thanks
