So far ADF does not support workflows within Alfresco Content Services. It only works for Alfresco Process Services workflows. At least that is my latest information...

ADF is updated every day and I follow with great interest the GitHub - Alfresco/alfresco-content-app project, because it resumes a lot of functionnalities i need for my users :

I think i can use Share UI with admin profile to install the "environnement" : site, users, access, etc.... But i think it's possible , now, to use adf for user interface (profile <> admin). The only thing that's missing is to reproduce this form (first picture). But if i understand alfresco logic (complex for me), it's generated with alfresco FormProcessor and some config files (see my workflow-validation-context.xml). The aim of my project is very simple : Index documents pdf with a model document already defined (form fields) and generate HL7 files (java code in platform-jar). The project is ok with sdk2. We asked me to upgrade with sdk3 but i'm pretty sure that i can use adf for user interface. It would be modern and user friendly. Moreover i test my webscripts, defined in platform-jar, from an adf sandbox project and it works nice (ADF Component Catalog )! So adf can communicate with platform-jar.

My question is : Can FormServices (ADF Component Catalog ) be used to retrieve the fields defined in my config in order to create a beautiful form in a beautifull adf app ? Thx a lot

I'll move this question into the ADF space. Maybe someone there can respond to that...

Hi Jerome,

I think you could maybe try to use the webscript service to do a call to this API:

constructor(private apiService: AlfrescoApiService) {}
this.apiService.getInstance().webScript.executeWebScript('post', this.scriptPath, this.scriptArgs, this.contextRoot, this.servicePath).then((webScriptdata) => {
});

‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍

this is the documentation:

alfresco-js-api/WebscriptApi.md at master · Alfresco/alfresco-js-api · GitHub

I know that is not a webscript yours but the advantage of using this call if it works is that you already have the token and the login session. You should only try to compose the address in the right way:

http(s)://(host):smileysad:port)/(contextPath)/(servicePath)/(scriptPath)?(scriptArgs)

Great !

I tried alfresco-js-api component and all GET request methods work fine ! I retrieve data and can constitute my custom Form 🙂

The last problem is to constitute POST method in order to submit my form :

This is the request when i submit form by using Share (formprocessor)

I suppose i must keep "formprocessor" request in order to update data (Tell me if i can do that by another way)

But i don't succeed to constitute correctly the request because of arguments type : Request Payload

How can i apply this kind of request ?

Thx

this is what i try :

but postForm must be String type so how can i compose properly this request , please ?

I also update directly alfresco-js-api.js by adding 'utf-8' in executeWebScript function

var accepts = ['application/json', 'text/html','utf-8'];

Thank you !!!
