Interface IPluginFormPrePersist

All Superinterfaces:

IFCPlugin, INameProviding, ITransferable, Serializable

public interface IPluginFormPrePersist
extends IFCPlugin

Interface for form pre-persist plugins. This plugin is executed when a form was submitted, but before a FormEingang is created and the form data is saved to the database. Contrast this with a plugin of type IPluginFormPreProcess, which is run after a FormEingang was created; and to IPluginFormPreRespond, which is run after the workflow was processed as well.

This plugin offers the option to add an custom check whether the form submission should be prevented or not. When this plugin prevents the form submission, the submitted form data is discarded and no form record is created. The workflow is then not run either.
