Upload File directly from local machine in an Alfresco Workflow Task

ashpal19 — Mon, 21 Apr 2014 21:34:40 GMT

In any of the existing workflows provided by alfresco the documents can be uploaded from the content repository. How to allow the user to directly upload document from his desktop during a particular step in the workflow. I have developed a custom workflow and would like to allow users to upload dir

You can customize your workflow task screen to have file upload component to achieve this.

Thank you for your response Ramesh. I can certainly customize the workflow task screen, however I will need additional help to complete this task. Are there some steps which I can follow? The upload document component will upload document to which folder? how will that document be attached to the workflow? Will I need to execute web-scripts or Java classes to attach the document to the workflows? I am little confused about how to go about this, hence I need some more help. Thank you.

Hi,
1) First you need to customise workflow task form to add "File Upload" control.
2) Once the user uploads the file, do HTTP Post to create document in alfresco repository.
3) If the http post is success, then get the noderef of the newly created document.
4) Use the nodeService to create the association between the newly created document and the bpmackage noderef.



        nodeService.addChild(bpmPackage.getNodeRef(), newlyCreatedDocumentNodeRef,
        WorkflowModel.ASSOC_PACKAGE_CONTAINS,
        QName.createQName(NamespaceService.CONTENT_MODEL_1_0_URI,QName.createValidLocalName(fileName)));

Hope this helps you.
