ProcessDefinition identitylink roles aside from candidate

nhmarsh — Mon, 05 May 2014 17:15:56 GMT

Hi all,We're developing a workflow project with Activiti as our backbone, and one of the requirements we've received on the side of Process Definitions is to ensure we know which user deployed a process definition. Natively, activiti does not seem to support this, so it seemed reasonable to create a

Hi,

Command context can be obtained from command. You can create create your own command. Good example could be

org.activiti.engine.impl.cmd.AddIdentityLinkForProcessDefinitionCmd

This did not seem to work. Here is the code I used:

where "configuration" is our spring-specified ProcessEngineConfigurationImpl

<java>

IdentityLinkEntity newEntity = new IdentityLinkEntity();

newEntity.setProcessDefId(processDef.getId());
newEntity.setType("owner");
newEntity.setUserId("ownerUser");
AddIdentityLinkForProcessDefinitionCmd newCmd = new AddIdentityLinkForProcessDefinitionCmd(processDef.getId(), "ownerUser", null);

CommandContext context = new CommandContext(newCmd, (ProcessEngineConfigurationImpl) processEngineConfiguration);
Context.setProcessEngineConfiguration((ProcessEngineConfigurationImpl) processEngineConfiguration);
Context.setCommandContext(context);
newEntity.insert();
</java>

Does not create the expected entity. Is there something else I need to set up, or check? I'm using the same processConfigurationEngine that we use to generate our service.

Hi,

try:


processEngineConfigurationImpl.getCommandExecutor().execute(new Command<Void>() {

      @Override
      public Void execute(CommandContext commandContext) {
        IdentityLinkEntity newEntity = new IdentityLinkEntity();

        newEntity.setProcessDefId(pi.getProcessDefinitionId());
        newEntity.setType(OWNER);
        newEntity.setUserId(user.getUserId());        
        newEntity.setId(UUID.randomUUID().toString());
        newEntity.insert();
        return null;
      }
    });

Regards
Martin
