Adding new content type to alfresco workflow

konart — Thu, 19 Jun 2014 12:36:47 GMT

Depending on a chosen company name workflow engine should choose what to do next (choose next step).I'm still quite lost about how this whole thing works actually (too complicated for me I guess) and t

Your workflow model is the thing that tells the Activiti form about the company list.

Your task form needs to map to a type in your workflow model. Your type in the workflow model needs to have a company field, and you can import the constraint from your ITN company model if you would like so that you don't have to repeat your list in both XML files.

I've tried to put company list into my WF model, so it looks like this now:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!– Описание модели бизнес-процесса –>
<model name="dir:workflowmodel" xmlns="http://www.alfresco.org/model/dictionary/1.0">

</model>

I also added company property to the web-client:

<alfresco-config>

   <config evaluator="string-compare" condition="Languages">
      <languages>
         <language locale="ru_RU">Russian</language>
      </languages>
   </config>

   <config evaluator="node-type" condition="dir:start" replace="true">
      <property-sheet>

      <separator name="sep1" display-label-id="general" component-generator="HeaderSeparatorGenerator" />

      <show-property name="bpm:workflowDescription" component-generator="TextAreaGenerator" />
      <show-property name="dir:company" />

      <show-association name="bpm:assignee" />
      </property-sheet>
   </config>
</alfresco-config>

And share-config:

<code>

   <config evaluator="task-type" condition="dir:start">
      <forms>
         <form>

            <field-visibility>
               <show id="bpm:workflowDescription"/>
               <show id="bpm:assignee"/>
               <show id="packageItems" />
            <show id="dir:company" />
            </field-visibility>
            <appearance>

               <set id="" appearance="title" label-id="workflow.set.general" />
               <set id="assignee" appearance="title" label-id="dir_assignee" />
               <set id="items" appearance="title" label-id="dir_items" />

               <field id="bpm:workflowDescription" label-id="dir_description">
                  <control template="/org/alfresco/components/form/controls/textarea.ftl">
                     <control-param name="style">width: 95%</control-param>
                  </control>
               </field>
               <field id="bpm:assignee" label-id="dir_assign_to" set="assignee" />
               <field id="packageItems" set="items" label-id="dir_pitems" />
               <field id="dir:company" set="items" label-id="itn_company_name" />
            </appearance>
         </form>
      </forms>
   </config>

After alfresco restart I receive 500 Error:

It responded with a status of 500 - Internal Error.

I think that error is unrelated. Are there any errors earlier in the log?
