  2. Enter the Name for the parameter, Java Class type, Value, and the Required flag. The parameter value is specified using an EL expression. Note that an EL expression used as a parameter value is just a pointer to a memory scoped variable or managed bean property for storing the parameter's value passed by the caller. The task flow can use the EL expression set for a parameter to refer the parameter value at runtime.

Note that you can also use Property Inspector for a task flow to add parameters. The steps for defining parameters remain the same as we previously discussed.
