It's rather easy to do in javascript from within the workflow. As the bpm_package is recognized as a scriptNode, we can write to it the same way we can write to any other sort of node. Your code would look something like this:


for (i=0;i<contents.length;i++){
            bpm_package.addNode(contents[i]);
         };

bpm_package should exist.

Are you sure you are running Alfresco script rather than Bean Shell?

Your code should be enclosed by the following tag.
<action class="org.alfresco.repo.workflow.jbpm.AlfrescoJavaScript">

No no,
I don't want to put this code into a workflow, but if you see better the code, I want to put it in a javascript file (.js), that run the specific WF and add more than one file to it via this javascript…

Have you understood what I want to do?

THANKS

Your line of code:
workflow.parameters["bpm:workflowPackage"] = contents;

Does not look correct if you want to pass in a collection of documents to a workflow.

And so…how can I do?

Oh, I get what you're trying to do.

Do you have the Alfresco-SDK checked out? There is a java class test file called "JBPMEngineTest.java" under the Repository project. Look through that, it'll give you a better idea on how to do this. Though, I'm still not sure on porting it to javascript.

Thanks, but I've solved writing the javascript in the start-node of the wf…

THANKS A LOT FOR THE RESPONSE
