How to map a namespace URI?

joe_182 — Wed, 27 Jun 2012 17:43:43 GMT

Hi guysI'm developing an advanced workflow, and I'm stuck with the model. Specifically with the namespace URI mapped with my workflow.These are my files:adhoc4-context.xml:<?xml version='1.0' encoding='UTF-8'?><!DOCTYPE beans PUBLIC '-//SPRING//DTD BEAN//EN' 'http://www.springframework.org/

Just taking a wild guess, I'm wondering if your problem is that you are completely overriding the out-of-the-box "workflowBootstrap" bean and then not telling Alfresco about the OOTB models which is where the "wf" namespace is defined.

Instead, try naming your workflowBootstrap bean something like "ad4.workflowBootstrap". The name doesn't really matter as long as it is unique.

Hi jpotts, I changed what you told me (ad4.workflowBootstrap), in Catalina.out it's everything OK, but when I make click on start advanced workflow it doesn't appears. Only the defaults workflows of alfresco with activiti engine.

I'm putting the 4 files in "/tomcat/shared/classes/alfresco/extension", right? Do you know if I have to do some other change?

Thanks a lot!

Excellent, glad that worked.

If you go to the workflow console (http://localhost:8080/alfresco/faces/jsp/admin/workflow-console.jsp) and type "show workflows all" and click Submit, do you see your custom workflow in the list? If not, you have not yet deployed it.

You've got redeploy set to true in your Spring config so my guess is that your workflows are deployed unless there was a problem.

If they were not deployed, try deploying them manually from the workflow console (type "help" to see the syntax). If there is an error you should see it in the log.

If the workflows are deployed but aren't showing up in Share, you may have neglected to set share-config-custom.xml correctly. You didn't include that in your original post, so I can't know for sure. If you didn't know you needed to do anything with share-config-custom.xml to make your workflow work in Share, see this tutorial for an example.

I'm deploying my workflow in this way:

deploy jbpm alfresco/extension/adhoc4_processdefinition.xml‍

And this appears in the log of the workflow console:

org.alfresco.service.cmr.workflow.WorkflowException: 05280574 Workflow Component for engine id 'jbpm' is not registered‍

I'm not using share, but alfresco (http://localhost:8080/alfresco). That's why I think that it's not necessary to configure share-config-custom.xml, right?
If not, this is my share-config-custom.xml:


<alfresco-config>
   
   <!– Repository Library config section –>
   <config evaluator="string-compare" condition="RepositoryLibrary" replace="true">
      <!–
         Whether the link to the Repository Library appears in the header component or not.
      –>
      <visible>true</visible>
   </config>

   <config evaluator="string-compare" condition="Remote">
      <remote>
         <endpoint>
            <id>alfresco-noauth</id>

‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍

In alfresco-global.properties I have the following:


system.workflow.engine.jbpm.enabled=false
system.workflow.engine.jbpm.definitions.visible=true
system.workflow.engine.activiti.enabled=true
system.workflow.engine.activiti.definitions.visible=true
‍‍‍‍‍‍

Do I have to put system.workflow.engine.jbpm.enabled=true ??

Thanks!

Yes, if you are running jBPM based workflows you'll definitely need to set that to true.

And if you are using Explorer (/alfresco) instead of Share (/share) you'll need to configure your workflow using web-client-config-custom.xml.

Thanks for the answer, Jeff. I don't understand/know which part of the web-client-config-custom.xml I have to change.

I looked the alfresco wiki's Web Client Configuration Guide (http://wiki.alfresco.com/wiki/Web_Client_Customisation_FAQ), but there's nothing about adding advanced workflow's info.

Go look at that tutorial I pointed you to. It explains how to do it. Basically, your workflow tasks match up to types. Types are configured in web-client-config-custom.xml so that the Explorer interface knows how to produce a form to capture the metadata defined by the types. So configuring forms for your advanced workflow is no different than configuring the web client for any other "normal" type.

Page 25 is what you want.
