Calling functions

[dranakan]

Hello,

Can we call functions in a Activit workflow ? I would like to put the same code in one place… How can I do this ?

For example I'am sending a mail at each userTask. Could I put the code in a function and call it ?

Hi dranakan,

Yes it is definitely possible, you can externalize you functions to a javascript file :

create file : my-js-functions-.js

function sendMail(params){
//mail action goes here;
}

After that you can call this function wherever you want:


<activiti:string>
&lt;import resource="classpath:alfresco/extension/workflow/my-js-functions-.js"&gt;
sendMail(someParams);   
</activiti:string>

Regards.
