Adding new form property types

rainerv — Thu, 20 Jan 2011 14:26:51 GMT

Hi,How would it be possible to easily implement new form property types?Currently, Activiti uses following property types: string (StringFormType), long (LongFormType), enum (EnumFormType) and date (DateFormType). Would it be possible to add new custom property types without changing Activiti source

There is a property available on the ProcessEngineConfigutionImpl which allows plugging in your own types, called 'customFormTypes'. It expects a list of org.activiti.engine.impl.form.AbstractFormType subclasses, which are added to the default types which you have mentioned.

I think a generic file upload form type would be beneficial to many people - any chance you can contribute back some code to the community?
