you can pass variable to your workflow which will store a nodeRef to the document(s) which are needed in the workflow.

All of my tutorials live here: http://ecmarchitect.com/alfresco-developer-series

The rules and actions tutorial is linked to from that page, or you can go directly to it here: http://ecmarchitect.com/images/articles/alfresco-actions/actions-article-2ed.pdf

The second edition was tested on 4.0.c. I have not personally tested it against any 4.2 community versions, so if you try it out, I'll be curious to hear how it goes.

Hi Jeff
I have some problems,when I running the example in the advanced-workflow-tuturial second edition,I start workflow named Publish Whitepaper to web(activiti) then I saved the workflow,
there are some question as follows
First:When a reviewer edit this task appear "org.activiti.engine.ActivitiException: Exception while invoking TaskListener: Exception while invoking TaskListener: 00150043 Failed to execute supplied script: 00150042 ReferenceError: "scwf_approveCount" is not defined. (AlfrescoJS#2)" error,in fact the property  scwf_approveCount exists in activitiPublishWhitepaper.bpmn20.xml file,could you tell me a solution?
Second,there are two groups in publish whitepaper to web workflow,At the begin of starting this workflow,we must create two groups group_operations and group_marketing then add user to the groups,I have did it,but I found the user in the groups don't have the task, I feel fuzzy,could you tell me the solutions?
thank you in advances!

Hi,
on page 32 the tutorial states that variables inside a script task (and the whole Javascript code snippet) should be written between !CDATA:

<scriptTask id="scripttask1" name="Submit" scriptFormat="javascript"><script><![CDATA[var scwf_approveCount = 0; var scwf_tpApproved =false;]]></script></scriptTask>‍‍‍‍‍‍

In the workflow definition you attached the CDATA section is missing.
Hope this helps.

Rgeards,
Andrea

Hi abarisone
First,thank you for your answer,I have modify like what you said,but it does't work,do you know what another reasons cases this trouble?thank you for your answer again!

Comparing the snippet above with the latest version of the workflow, I notice that the activiti:autoStoreVariables attribute is missing. I wonder if that could be it. See below.

    <scriptTask id="scripttask1" name="Submit" scriptFormat="javascript" activiti:autoStoreVariables="true">      <script>var scwf_approveCount = 0; var scwf_tpApproved = false;</script>    </scriptTask>‍‍‍‍‍
