We do not have this capability for check-item clicks. Only static
parameters(that are configured from the lifecycle configuration) can be
passed to validations classes.

Yes. But this UI will be showed when you try to do a transition and not a
check-item click.
2. How do I pass the captured param to service call?

>From the JS, you can send a request to the invoke_aspect_ajaxprocessor.jsp
with the following parameters. Example code can be found in [1](function
invokeAspect).
new Ajax.Request('../lifecycles/invoke_aspect_ajaxprocessor.jsp',
{
method : 'post',
parameters : {
path : path,
aspect : aspect,
action : action,
items : itemsGlobal,
parameterString : parameterString
})
The parameter string is constructed in the following manner .
obj.name + "^^" + obj.value + "^|^" + obj.name + "^^" + obj.value + "^|^";
In the BE class(executor implementation) these parameters are sent in the
requestContext, as properties. You can read these properties and get the
required parameters. We have such method in [2].
public static boolean populateParameterMap(RequestContext
requestContext, Map<String, String> currentParameterMap) {
Set parameterMapKeySet = (Set)
requestContext.getProperty("parameterNames");
if (parameterMapKeySet == null) {
log.warn("No parameters where found");
return true;
}
for (Object entry : parameterMapKeySet) {
String key = (String) entry;
if (!key.equals("preserveOriginal")) {
currentParameterMap.put(key, (String)
requestContext.getProperty(key));
}
}
return true;
}

[3] refer to the default transition UI that we ship with G-Reg.
[4] refer to one of the executors(CopyExecutor) we ship with G-Reg.
Eranda,
Did we add any samples related to these use cases?
Thanks,
Janaka
