Zaakobjecten

Prefix: zaakobject

In order to use this type the following plugins have to be configured:

  • Zaken API

  • Objecten API

  • Objecttypen API

References a property in a Objecten API object referenced as 'zaakobject'. The field expression contains both the name of the 'objecttype' and a JSON Pointer to the property within the JSON store in the zaakobject. There can only be one object of the requested type linked to the zaak as zaakobject. If no or multiple objects are found, an exception will be thrown when loading the form. When the object is found, the JSON Pointer is used to find the property in the JSON stored in the data field of the object.

In order for Valtimo to find the correct object, the following needs to be configured correctly:

  • A zaak is linked to the current case by using a zaak instance link

  • A Zaken API configuration exists that has a base URL matching the zaak instance link URL

  • A zaakobject exists in the Zaken API that links the zaak to an object in the Objects API

  • An Objecten API configuration exists that has a base URL matching the object URL in the zaakobject

  • An Objecttypen API configuration exists that has a base URL matching the type from the object found

Example: zaakobject:profile:/person/firstName
