Testing Start Review & Approve Workflow

jlae — Fri, 15 Jun 2007 17:17:47 GMT

Hello,I'm running Alfresco 2.0 on Tomcat and I'm trying to test the 'Start Advanced Workflow' feature using the tutorial pdf in Guest Home, but I seem to have a problem.Upon starting the advanced workflow, in step 2. Workflow options, there should be some widget to select the assignee for the next s

It seems that you have not defined this aspect in your WorkflowModel.xml file for your task, for example:


<type name="MyTask_wf:MyTaskOne">
  <parent>MyTask_bpm:MyWorkflowTask</parent>
    <mandatory-aspects>
      <aspect>bpm:assignee</aspect>
    </mandatory-aspects>
</type>

Yes, it should work out-of-the-box. Check your config is also for v2.0.

Yes, I was missing that mandatory aspect. Thanks!

But what I do not understand is why the default workflows, like adhoc task, show the same issue… Now the Advanced Workflow I designed is working.

I've got to investigate a bit more.

Okay, this keeps getting weirder.

Without any other workflows besides the ones that come with Alfresco, I've got no warning on the catalina.out.

But then, I've created a workflow in the <extension> folder, created an appropriate *-context.xml with a workflow deployer, referencing the process definition, task model and properties file.

What happens now is that the Review and Approve and Adhoc Task lose their Web Client Task dialogs, meaning I can't select the assignee on either of these workflow's first task.

To me this is really weird as I think I've followed the instructions on the wiki pretty closely.

Any ideas?

Disregard my last post.

I was missing the first task, in the start node, in the task model. Basically, it caused all this.

Thanks anyway
Joao
