But to my disappointment business key doesn't appear in event and it seems to me that I can only get it from execution context.</SPAN><BR /><SPAN>Finally, I have added a method to ActivitiEvent interface: </SPAN><BR /><BR /><SPAN>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; ExecutionContext getExecutionContext();</SPAN><BR /><BR /><SPAN>and implemented it in ActivitiEventImpl as:</SPAN><BR /><BR /><SPAN>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; public ExecutionContext getExecutionContext() {</SPAN><BR /><SPAN>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; return Context.getExecutionContext();</SPAN><BR /><SPAN>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; }</SPAN><BR /><BR /><SPAN>Now, I can get my business key from event but what bothers me is the question if there is a better way to do this?</SPAN><BR /><SPAN>Or, is there any reason (that I don't see yet) why not to do it this way?</SPAN><BR /><BR /><SPAN>Thanks.</SPAN><BR /><SPAN>Boris</SPAN></BODY></HTML> Mon, 06 Oct 2014 12:09:12 GMT bpran 2014-10-06T12:09:12Z Asynchronous notification on workflow progress https://connect.hyland.com/t5/alfresco-archive/asynchronous-notification-on-workflow-progress/m-p/186908#M140038 Hi all,My application's use case requires that client who starts workflow gets async notification on workflow progress.For that purpose I have ActivitiEventListener instance and my plan was to dispatch ACTIVITY_STARTED and ACTIVITY_COMPLETED events back to the client, but if I have multiple executio Mon, 06 Oct 2014 12:09:12 GMT https://connect.hyland.com/t5/alfresco-archive/asynchronous-notification-on-workflow-progress/m-p/186908#M140038 bpran 2014-10-06T12:09:12Z Re: Asynchronous notification on workflow progress https://connect.hyland.com/t5/alfresco-archive/asynchronous-notification-on-workflow-progress/m-p/186909#M140039 <HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY><SPAN>Another way to do it, is to use a BpmnParseHandler that adds execution listeners to every of your process definitions automatically. Those listeners can then fire the stuff async.</SPAN></BODY></HTML> Fri, 17 Oct 2014 10:35:53 GMT https://connect.hyland.com/t5/alfresco-archive/asynchronous-notification-on-workflow-progress/m-p/186909#M140039 jbarrez 2014-10-17T10:35:53Z Re: Asynchronous notification on workflow progress https://connect.hyland.com/t5/alfresco-archive/asynchronous-notification-on-workflow-progress/m-p/186910#M140040 <HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY><SPAN>It seems it is the right way to do it.
