The Java transformation treats input/output ports as pass-through ports. If you do not set a value for the port in the Java code for the transformation, the output value is the same as the input value. The Java transformation initializes the value of an input/output port in the same it initializes an input port.
If you set the value of a port variable for an input/output port in the Java code, the Java transformation uses this value when it generates an output row. If you do not set the value of an input/output port, the Java transformation sets the value of the port variable to 0 for simple datatypes and NULL for complex datatypes when it generates an output row.
