Imports and interfaces used in extensions Annotations Extended Operators - Extended operators load four annotation types:
import com.corticon.services.extensions.ArgumentName;
Service Callouts – Service callouts load one annotation type:
import com.corticon.services.extensions.Description;
Interfaces Extended Operators – The interfaces added are those required for the data types used in the extended operator class, selected from the following:
import com.corticon.services.extensions.ICcCollectionExtension;
Note: While extended operators are limited to returning a value, the standalone extended operator type can access the interfaces for ICcDataObject :
import com.corticon.services.extensions.ICcStandAloneExtension;
Note: When these interfaces are loaded, extended standalone operator methods can define ICcDataObjectManger as their first parameter. This provides flexibility in integrating Corticon with databases and other external services to perform complex actions, such as retrieving a set of records from a web service, and then adding them as associations on an entity. The ICcDataObjectManager parameter is not allowed in rule syntax.
Service Callouts – A service callout adds the following interface:
import com.corticon.services.extensions.ICcServiceCalloutExtension;
Extended operator data type mappings The mapping of parameter and return types for Extended Operators are as follows:

java.math.BigDecimal
