I was wondering . . . . since Talend promotes the use of components above the use of tJava components (tJavarow and such), why is there no component to set context variables ? We have tSetGlobalVar, but that's for setting variables in the globalMap.
I use tJavaRow to set a context variable, and that works, but why isn't there a component that you can use that does the same ?
I think the main reason for assigning values to context variable on tJava or tJavarow component is for more convenience. Many times, the input data needs to be converted through java code, and then the result is assigned to the context variable.
