How to call an Activity from Java
Q-1: How to call an Activity from Java? What API methods will serve this purpose? Also, is there any place where I can get to know the most commonly used methods, classes and interfaces used in Engine API?
Q-2: How to pass 'Page' parameter to an Activity using Java and JavaScript? Thanks in advance.

Oh!, I do now realize that we can call an activity in Java by using "tools.doActivity(StringMap,ClipboardPage,ParameterPage)" method.
Hence, still looking for "is there any place where I can get to know the most commonly used methods, classes and interfaces used in Engine API?" Thanks in advance.

Call activity from Java with Parameter page:
HashStringMap hmActivityKeys = new HashStringMap();
hmActivityKeys .putString("pxObjClass", "Rule-Obj-Activity");
hmActivityKeys .putString("pyClassName", "[Applies-To-Class of Activity]");
hmActivityKeys .putString("pyActivityName", "[ActivityName]");
ParameterPage newParamsPage = new ParameterPage();
newParamsPage.putString("[ParamName]", "[ParamValue]");
tools.doActivity(hmActivityKeys , targetPage, newParamsPage);
Call activity from javascript with parameter page:
var setPropURL = new URL([ClassName.ActivityName]);
var paramData = new URL();
paramData.put("ParamPropertyName","Value");
var callback;
var request = pega.util.connect.asyncRequest('POST', setPropURL.toURL(),callback,paramData.toEncodedPostBody());
// You need to implement callbacks to read the response.

I have a similar requirement of getting a clipboard value into a JavaScript variable.
Am setting a variable in script like -
var e1 = '<%= tools.findPage("Clipboardpage").getString("propertyname") %>';
Have set an alert now to see what value is e1 holding and found it as - <%=tools.findPage("Clipboardpage").getString("propertyname") %>
instead of value from clipboard.
Can you please tell me what i have to correct in the assigning step so as to get the expected value from clipboard.
Any suggestions would be much appreciated.Thanks in advance.
