Simplify Registry Property Management

[SanojPunchihewa]

Problem

Currently, if the user needs to persist a property, they need to add it has a registry property using the property mediator. Here they need to explicitly set the scope to registry.

To retrieve a property, they need to give the resource path and property name as follows,

<property name="regProperty" expression="get-property('registry','gov:<path to resource>/@<propertyname>')"/>

For a new user, these steps are cumbersome as they need to have product specific knowledge to simply persist a variable.

Proposed Solution

Add an utility method to store and retrieve persistent variables.

<utility.persistentVariable.Get>
  <name>[name]</name>
  <target>[body or variable]</target>
</utility.persistentVariable.Get>

<utility.persistentVariable.Set>
  <name>[name]</name>
  <value>[expression]</value>
</utility.persistentVariable.Set>
