Attachments and Comments

[jotapdiez]

Hi all!!

I found this API excellent by his interfaces and the code itself.

But now, I have a question that I can't find answer,  across the code or the JavaDoc.

When I add an attachment to the proccess, Activiti automaticly adds a comment to that attachment. So, when I ask for comments I get ALL undesirable comments. How can I filter these undesirable comments? By now, I'm filtering it by:

if (comment.getFullMessage() == null)‍

. I want to filter it by database query to avoid this kind of checks.

Also, what is the best way to relate the attachments with comments? to obtain userID and time

Thanks in advance
Sorry about my english

That isn't offered out of the box unfortunately. You'd need to write your own queries + commands.

Alternatively, you can use the NativeQuery, altough you'd need to create your own subclass since for comments no nativeQuery class exists yet.

Also, what is the best way to relate the attachments with comments? to obtain userID and time

I'm afraid that's also pretty hard to do, as the text is just generated at runtime and the userid and time is passed …. besides some basic string filtering I can't think of much.
