Eexample workflow in Wrox Professional Alfresco Book

bajwaya — Wed, 01 Jun 2011 21:12:29 GMT

Hello,I attempted to use the example code from the 'Professional Alfresco' book by Wrox Press. The code is available from http://www.wrox.com/WileyCDA/WroxTitle/Professional-Alfresco-Practical-Solutions-for-Enterprise-Content-Management.productCd-0470571047,descCd-DOWNLOAD.htmlI tried from Alfresco

Hi,
the problem is in wrong defined namespaces, I had the same problems with the examples from the book

In your Task model file ('myReviewAndApproveModel.xml') define new namespace similar like following:


<namespaces>
    <namespace uri="http://www.someorganization.org/model/workflow/1.0" prefix="mywf"/>
</namespaces>
‍‍‍‍‍

Replace prefix from your content model ('myReviewAndApproveModel.xml') which was "wf" with new one prefix "mywf" (for name attribute within 'type' elements).
Apply this new prefix also on process definition ('my_review_and_approve_processdefinition.xml'), resource bandle ('my_review_and_approve_messages.properties') and web client custom property page ('web-client-config-custom.xml').

When you redeploy everything, it should be OK.

Enjoy
