Help Creating Workflow

[andrew.cy]

I'm trying to create a workflow that creates a folder and moves a file to it. However I have been unsuccessful and cannot even add a folder. Im implementing the logic in the action handler of the node that is supposed to create this folder. Any suggestions are greatly appreciated?

heres the process definition

Code: Select all

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

<process-definition  xmlns="urn:jbpm.org:jpdl-3.2"  name="Test">

	<start-state name="start">
		<transition to="clientInfo"></transition>
	</start-state>

	<task-node name="clientInfo">
		<task name="File Delegation">
			<assignment actor-id="okmAdmin"></assignment>
			<event type="task-create">
				<script>
					taskInstance.start();
				</script>
			</event>
		</task>
		<transition to="moveFile"></transition>
	</task-node>

	<node name="moveFile">
		<action class="com.Test.TestHandler"></action>
		<transition to="end"></transition>
	</node>

	<end-state name="end"></end-state>

</process-definition>

the forms.xml

Code: Select all

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE workflow-forms PUBLIC "-//OpenKM//DTD Workflow Forms 1.0//EN"
                                "http://www.openkm.com/dtd/workflow-forms-1.0.dtd">
<workflow-forms>
  <workflow-form task="File Delegation">
    <input label="Enter Client's First Name" name="firstName" />
    <input label="Enter Client's Last Name" name="lastName" />
    <button label="Submit" />
  </workflow-form>
</workflow-forms>

here is the Handler implementation

Code: Select all

package com.Test;

import org.jbpm.graph.def.ActionHandler;
import org.jbpm.graph.exe.ExecutionContext;

import com.openkm.api.OKMAuth;
import com.openkm.api.OKMDocument;
import com.openkm.api.OKMFolder;
import com.openkm.bean.form.Input;

public class TestHandler implements ActionHandler 
{
	private static final long serialVersionUID = 1L;
	String firstName;
	String lastName;

	public void execute(ExecutionContext context) throws Exception 
	{		
		firstName = context.getContextInstance().getVariable("firstName").toString().trim();
		lastName = context.getContextInstance().getVariable("lastName").toString().trim();
		
		String token = OKMAuth.getInstance().login("okmAdmin", "admin");
		Input DP = (Input) context.getContextInstance().getVariable("path");
		String docPath = DP.getValue().trim();
		
		if (!OKMFolder.getInstance().isValid(token, "/okm:root/" + lastName + ", " + firstName))
			OKMFolder.getInstance().createSimple(token, "/okm:root/" + lastName + ", " + firstName);
		
		OKMDocument.getInstance().move(token, docPath, "/okm:root/" + lastName + ", " + firstName);
		context.leaveNode();
	}
}

I figured it out you just need to play with the above code a little and use try catch blocks anyway is there a way to refresh the foldertree through a workflow?

[jllort]

You're talking about workflow could made some operations with user interface, like refreshing folders tree etc..., is that the idea ?

[andrew.cy]

yes that exactly my idea for a workflow. Also, why can't I use the api classes to write a tab document extension. I keep getting an error that states "no source code found for com.openkm.api.OKMFolder did you forget to inherit a module"

[jllort]

Please post the question about TabDocument in other thread.

Actually there's no way to refreshing UI in a workflow process, but really seems interesting and necessary feature.

I've added the issue at http://issues.openkm.com/view.php?id=1676

Do you consider could be some other features in same way, I only added go to some folder and refresh operation, do you consider could be others ?

Other question is when this events must be fired ... after executing workflow ( submit button )?, before seems has no sence ?
