topic Custom activity with custom attribute for service task in Alfresco Archive https://connect.hyland.com/t5/alfresco-archive/custom-activity-with-custom-attribute-for-service-task/m-p/149048#M104066 <HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY><SPAN>Hi,</SPAN><BR /><BR /><SPAN>I want to create a service task which has a custom attribute like activiti:customTask which is similar to activiti:class but implementing my custom interface instead of JavaDelegate. I went through parsing and behavior part of the code and think below would be the steps. </SPAN><BR /><SPAN>1. Define a custom parseHandler which extends from ServiceTaskParseHandler(since its a service task) and checks for the custom attribute.</SPAN><BR /><SPAN>2. Define a custom behavior factory which overrides the createTaskActivityBehavior() to create a custom behavior object implementing TaskActivityBehavior which takes the user class object (UserClass which implements MyInterface instead of JavaDelegate).</SPAN><BR /><SPAN>3. Define a custom task invocation extending DelegateInvocation to handle the custom task class invocation.</SPAN><BR /><SPAN>4. Define a xml converter(extending ServiceTaskXMLConverter) to add the implementation type to ServiceTask object provided through activiti:customTask attribute.</SPAN><BR /><BR /><SPAN>Now I am able to find properties in ProcessEngineConfigurations for parseHandler and activityBehaviorFactory to take my custom classes, but could not find how to set the XMLConverter in the ProcessEngineConfigurations.</SPAN><BR /><BR /><SPAN>Please help me understand how to add my custom xml converter.</SPAN><BR /><BR /><BR /><SPAN>Thanks</SPAN><BR /><SPAN>Shishir</SPAN></BODY></HTML> Fri, 30 Aug 2013 14:51:13 GMT shishirg 2013-08-30T14:51:13Z Custom activity with custom attribute for service task https://connect.hyland.com/t5/alfresco-archive/custom-activity-with-custom-attribute-for-service-task/m-p/149048#M104066 Hi,I want to create a service task which has a custom attribute like activiti:customTask which is similar to activiti:class but implementing my custom interface instead of JavaDelegate.
