I would like the option that java actions do not return a value, so I don't have a useless boolean returned. And I don't want to declare a useless variable in the microflow, see other idea!
Great to see such a basic feature implemented!
Unfortunately, I struggle with the implementation of returning nothing a bit.
If I select ‘Nothing’ as return type in my Java action, the signature of the stub that gets generated looks like:
public java.lang.Void executeAction() throws Exception
If I leave out any `return;` statement, or use `return;` without a value, the compiler complains (missing return value).
According to the JavaDoc, Void is an uninstantiable placeholder class, so I also cannot write `return new Void();`.
What is the intended way to implement a Java action that returns Nothing?
Edit
Ok, I figured it out by myself now. Of course `return null;` works – but not the most intuitive thing when your mindset is to implement a void method.
