Resolution: Duplicate
> OOZIE-28: Documentation on Capturing Output is Wrong
> ----------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: OOZIE-445
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/OOZIE-445
> Project: Oozie
> Issue Type: Bug
> Reporter: Hadoop QA
> Assignee: Roman Shaposhnik
> Priority: Minor
>
> The [Oozie 2.3
> documentation|http://yahoo.github.com/oozie/releases/2.3.0/WorkflowFunctionalSpec.html#a3.2.7_Java_Action]
> has this to say about capturing the output of a Java action:
> {quote}
> The capture-output element can be used to propagate values back into Oozie
> context, which can then be accessed via EL-functions. This needs to be
> written out as a java properties format file. The filename is obtained via a
> System property specified by the constant
> JavaMainMapper.OOZIE_JAVA_MAIN_CAPTURE_OUTPUT_FILE
> {quote}
> That last sentence is wrong for the latest releases. The Java action should
> write out the properties to a file whose name is given by the system property
> {{oozie.action.output.properties}}. These properties can then be accessed in
> a subsequent action using an EL expression like
> ${wf:actionData('foo')['bar']}, where {{foo}} is the name of the Java action
> and {{bar}} is the key for the desired property.
