Attribute Types

There are ten attribute types, as shown below. The type determines what values are acceptable and how the attribute is used.

Note: Due to security considerations, Oracle Workflow does not permit HTML content to be passed in attributes of type text. If Oracle Workflow encounters HTML tags in a text attribute, escape characters will be applied to display the content as plain text rather than executing the HTML. If you want to apply HTML formatting to your content, define an attribute of type document instead, and pass your HTML content as either a PL/SQL document or PL/SQL CLOB document.

Note: If you store an event message in an item attribute of type event, you can access the event data within that event message by creating an item attribute of type URL and setting the value of the URL attribute to reference the event data. See: SetItemAttribute, Oracle Workflow API Reference.
