Workflow JavaScript API

AllI am trying to start a workflow without attaching it to a document but rather to have the document be created as one of the workflow steps. I learned how to do this through other posts here. So I have added the following to an event in my processdefinition.xml. <event type="before-signal"&g

I thought i would update my post based on recent findings.

I changed the API I was using from createFile -> createNode.
I then realized that I need to add my newly created node to the bpm_package.
I am using the Share interface and I noticed that my workflow worked fine in Explorer. I then realized that I was not inserting the document into the Share documentLibrary folder but rather into the Share root folder. So I modified the location where the file was being created and the error went away. Here is my new source code:


         var today = new Date();
      var fileName = "testing" + today.getTime() + ".txt";
   logger.log("childByNamePath = " + companyhome.childByNamePath("/Sites/IPDSShare/documentLibrary"));
      var doc = companyhome.childByNamePath("/Sites/IPDSShare/documentLibrary").createNode(fileName, "cm:content");
      logger.log("Created file called " + fileName);
   doc.addAspect("cm:versionable");
   doc.content = today + "Classification = " + scwf_classification + 
      "\nDocument Type = " + scwf_documentType;
   bpm_package.addNode(doc);

That works. Now I am attempting to transform my plain text document into a word document but transformDocument() keeps returning null. Any ideas on how to do this differently? The code I was using is as follows.


var wordDoc = doc.transformDocument("application/msword");
logger.log("wordDoc = " + wordDoc); /** always prints null **/
