Hi Baaka,

would be nice to provide a little bit more information.
I will just guess that you want to have a different view/form when editing or creating new HR dossiers.
There are possibilities to provide a JSP for the property representations,
look in the corresponding plugin configuration for nodes named

<JspForm>‍

which can be used to align/change the design of the view/form.

If you really want to change/modify/prepare everything with pure Java code, have a look into the source code of the plugin. Such plugin provide extensions points, but are mostly designed for a specific Use Case.
If a plugin does not provide the ability you need, just try to write your own plugin for your purpose.

Cheers,

Thank you D.evil,

I just want to handle information(first/last name,dossier status,entry date, etc.) about concrete filled dossier from Java program (if it is possible via Alfresco SDK & Web Services) or via Web Scripts. So I can not understand from where can I handle this information.

Well you can do every proposed solution, depending on your Use Case.

Workdesk is using CMIS to communication with the Alfresco Repository, retrieving information by Id (DMSID). So if you interested in just getting the information, you can have a look at OpenCMIS framework <URL>http://chemistry.apache.org/java/opencmis.html</URL> to get such information from Alfresco repository. CMIS allows to get the information by ID, Path or Query (search).

For sure you can use the other services (public API) of Alfresco, or if you need every time a specific set and format of information I would say a special Web Script would be a preferred solution.

Hope that helps,
D.evil
