He loves to keep himself abreast of the latest technology and is a gadget freak. He is always ready for a discussion about any topic under the sun. He has a myriad interest in business, startups, entrepreneurship, finance, and current affairs. However, he is always excited to go on trips and tours, especially nature trails and trekking, with a camera around his neck. Apart from reading, he likes to pen his thoughts and is a freelance blogger, too. He can play the keyboard but wishes he had more time to learn a new instrument. He loves to listen to psychedelic, slow, and alternative rock. You can say "Hi" to him at mail@rohitbhat.com. This is his first book as an author. He is, however, a reviewer of Packt's Android Application Programming with OpenCV, published a couple of months ago.

The attachment variable


The attachment variable is used to store any file attachment in Bonita. As the attachment is internally stored in the database as Binary Large Object (BLOB), this gives the flexibility to store any kind of file attachment, regardless of the extension.

The maximum size of the attachment can be 15 MB. The attachment variable is primarily used in the file widget while creating web forms. Whenever the user clicks on any file object from his system, it is uploaded into the Bonita database and stored as an attachment variable.XML Variable.

Another way we can represent data in Bonita Studio is to use an XML variable to store data in the XML format. Relevant data can be represented in a concise way using XML. For creating this variable in Bonita, simply select the data type as XML. Here, we have to choose the XML namespace and element for the data. We can also add a new schema by importing an XSD file.
