Convert Alfresco ScripNode to ActivitiScriptNode

Hi.In a Alfresco 4.2.c workflow, I have a task model like this:<blockcode>…<type "my:tasktype">… <property name="my:folder"> <title>Folder</title> <type>d:noderef</type> </property>…</blockcode>a

I guess you can try to call the constructor of public ActivitiScriptNode(NodeRef nodeRef, ServiceRegistry services), passing in the raw nodeRef and service-registry.

If registry is unavailable, you can always pass in null, as long as you don't immediately (in the same script) perform actions on or access properties of the newly created ActivitiScriptNode, that's fine. The next time the ScriptNode is used, it will be fully usable with a valid service-registry, as this is added when fetched from the engine again.

If this doesn't work, it's always possible to add a custom variableType (or override the ScriptNodeVariableType) to be more flexible on input, but always read variables as ActivitiScriptNodes… But that's not trivial, so I hope the first suggestion works

Hi.

I'll try this and give feedback. I didn't know that it's possible to call the constructor with service-registry = null.
Thanks a lot.
