Hi all,

This is the latest code I could reach:

      Rule rule1 = new Rule();
      Action action1 = new Action();
      Action action2 = new Action();
      Condition condition1 = new Condition();
      Reference actionReference1 = new Reference();
      //set its value to Drafts > Writer_Samar
      Reference actionReference2 = new Reference();
      //set its value to Pending Approval > Editor_Samar > Writer_Samar

      NamedValue[] parameters1 = new NamedValue[] { 
            Utils.createNamedValue(Constants.PROP_NAME, "All Items") };//check?
      
      condition1.setParameters(parameters1);      
      
      action1.setTitle("simple-workflow");//correct attribute meaning?
      action1.setConditions(0, condition1);
      action1.setActionReference(actionReference1);
      
      //action2.setDescription('Move item') ? [use CMLMove] ?
      action2.setTitle("approve-step");
      action2.setActionName("request Approval");
      action2.setActionReference(actionReference2);
      
      action1.setActions(0, action2);//check?
      
      rule1.setRuleTypes(0,"update");
      rule1.setAction(action1);
      //apply rule to subspaces‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍

I still cannot find:

Any help would be appreciated,
Thank you

Is there any java sample (client code) available which can create a simple workflow using Alfresco web service APIs ???

Samar did you get the solution?
I am currently trying to create a rule but I always got a NULL EXCEPTION when trying to save the rule.

Did anyone knows something about it?

By the way, I am doing it by using web services.
