Adobe Exam AD0-E123 Topic 1 Question 4 Discussion

When working with custom workflow steps in AEM, metadata associated with the workflow session can be programmatically accessed and manipulated. The MetaDataMap object serves as a container for this data. The correct way to access and modify this metadata in Java would be:

Option C, MetaDataMap wfd = WorkItem.getWorkflow().getWorkflowData().getMetaDataMap(); wfd.put('mykey', 'My Step Value'); This snippet correctly retrieves the MetaDataMap from the WorkflowData of the current Workflow session. It then uses the put method to store a new key-value pair, where 'mykey' is the key and 'My Step Value' is the value to be saved.

Options A and B do not properly chain the method calls to access the MetaDataMap associated with the current workflow session and are therefore incorrect.
