Forgive my confusion in terminologies as I am very new to Activiti.</SPAN><BR /><SPAN>We have the following requirement</SPAN><BR /><SPAN>1. Main work flow based on certain conditions will choose a certain sub-workflow to execute dynamically at runtime ( I have an Idea of how to establish this, I am thinking a custom task type for this )</SPAN><BR /><SPAN>2. Next is the second step and this is where I am stranded. I need to dynamically using API configure properties of Service Task in the sub-workflow.</SPAN><BR /><SPAN>I thought I can get Activities within the ProcessDefinition and get Fields within that and modify values of attributes. To explain better</SPAN><BR /><BR /><SPAN>I have the following example workflow</SPAN><BR /><SPAN>start - scm task type (custom) - hudson task type (custom) - end</SPAN><BR /><BR /><SPAN>scm task type has a property of which SCM type and the SCM Server URL</SPAN><BR /><SPAN>I need to dynamically set this in the *workflow definition* and save it so that all future instances of the workflow will use the new property.</SPAN><BR /><SPAN>I was thinking about navigating to the required activity and set the property, but I was not able to retrieve the activities from the process definition. The following code always printing 0.</SPAN><BR /><BR /><PRE class="language-none line-numbers"><CODE><BR />&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; ProcessDefinition def = repositoryService.createProcessDefinitionQuery().processDefinitionKey("MyProcess11111").list().get(0);<BR />&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; ProcessDefinitionEntity ent = (ProcessDefinitionEntity) def;<BR />&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; System.out.println(ent.getActivities().size());<BR /><SPAN class="line-numbers-rows"><SPAN>‍</SPAN><SPAN>‍</SPAN><SPAN>‍</SPAN><SPAN>‍</SPAN><SPAN>‍</SPAN></SPAN></CODE></PRE><BR /><SPAN>I would highly appreciate some guidance on what is the best way to solve this problem and how do I get hold of the specific activity within a process definition.</SPAN><BR /><BR /><SPAN>Thanks</SPAN><BR /><SPAN>Prasanna Rajaperumal</SPAN><BR /><SPAN>Cisco Systems</SPAN></BODY></HTML> Wed, 08 Jun 2011 18:29:52 GMT prasanna_bits 2011-06-08T18:29:52Z Dynamically modify Activiti Service Task Properties https://connect.hyland.com/t5/alfresco-archive/dynamically-modify-activiti-service-task-properties/m-p/59595#M36690 Hi,We have been looking into Activiti for our BPM needs.
