I'm using version 1.2.2. Using the following task listener I managed to do it. Not sure if this is the best approach or not.

<java>
@Component("copyAttachmentTaskListener")
public class CopyAttachmentTaskListener implements TaskListener {

/**
* This task listener copies the "upload" field's attachments in parent
* process instance to a new attachment field "upload1" in the subprocess
* task.
*/
private static final long serialVersionUID = 1L;

private static final Logger log = LoggerFactory
   .getLogger(CopyAttachmentTaskListener.class);

@Autowired
private UserService userService;

@Autowired
private RelatedContentService relatedContentService;

@Autowired
private RelatedContentRepository relatedContentRepository;

@Override
public void notify(DelegateTask delegateTask) {
List<RelatedContent> relatedContent = new ArrayList<RelatedContent>();
Page<RelatedContent> page = null;

while ((page == null) || (page.hasNext())) {
   page = relatedContentRepository.findAllByProcessInstanceIdAndField(
     (String) delegateTask.getExecution().getVariable(
       "superProcessInstanceId"), "upload", null);
   relatedContent.addAll(page.getContent());
}
for (RelatedContent rc : relatedContent) {
   // Create a new related content object
   RelatedContent newRelatedContentObject = relatedContentService
     .createRelatedContent(userService.getUser(new Long(
       delegateTask.getAssignee())), rc.getName(), rc
       .getSource(), rc.getSourceId(), delegateTask
       .getId(), delegateTask.getProcessInstanceId(),
       "upload1", rc.getMimeType(), null, 0L);
   // Now copy all the existing values from original attachment
   newRelatedContentObject.setContentStoreId(rc.getContentStoreId());
   newRelatedContentObject
     .setContentAvailable(rc.isContentAvailable());
   newRelatedContentObject.setContentSize(rc.getContentSize());
   newRelatedContentObject.setRelatedContent(rc.isRelatedContent());
   newRelatedContentObject.setField("upload1");
   // Save
   relatedContentRepository.saveAndFlush(newRelatedContentObject);
}
}
}
</java>

Hello,

Its grate example to know how call activiti works.

In the above example you are passing parent process uploaded content to child process but I want in reverse way like from child process uploaded content to parent process. How can I achieve this?

Thanks

Hi Ciju,

I am trying to fetch the user task form attachments in task listener in the same process, using the activiti-6.0 (not the enterprise version) and using the activit-ap-logic-6.0.

I kept the task listener in com.activiti.extension.bean package and the below code returns the null.

page = relatedContentRepository.findAllByProcessInstanceIdAndField(
delegateTask.getProcessInstanceId().toString(), "selectbpmnfiles", null);

the "selectbpmnfiles" is the attachment field id in user task.

here is the complete code tried with different ways but none of them worked.
