Hi,

Can I call a web service from a task. If so, how?

Thanks.

Hi,

Please read it here. http://www.activiti.org/userguide/#bpmnWebserviceTask
Or you may also use the java service task to invoke the webservice

Thank you for the response.

I have one more question. I have a html/jsp page, which should be called as a task.
I did read about external form rendering. But unable to get it.
Can you please give me sample, on how I can do it with Activiti designer.

Regards,

Hi,

The way you can go with it is by building your own task inbox in your application. When user clicks on a task, with the help of the Task ID get the task variables and form key. Based on form key, you render the page which has to be displayed.

Ok. Thanks.

Our requirement is, we have a set of html's.
We need to design a work flow, and use these htmls as userTask.
Eg. UserTask1: Signup - show signup.html
      EmailTask1: Send Email to the mail id (which is an value in signup.html), which has a activation link on it
      UserTask2: Success - show user_registered.html

As we already have a bunch of htmls,dynamic pages, I dont want to use the "form" attribute in the userTask.

Please advise.
Thanks.

Hi,

I don't think you would need a BPM here for this requirement.

Hi,
Here,  I have taken a simple scenario, to say that I need to call the pre-created views(htmls).

We have a many tasks, that needs to be orchestrated. Only thing is we have our views as htmls; and some web services.
We would use Activiti to create the work flow. And I need to know how should I call the htmls in my task. Reading the document to call web services from the Activiti.

Thanks.

" And I need to know how should I call the htmls in my task. "

That's not there out of the box. You will need to reference your html's somehow using the activiti:formKey attribute.
But how you fetch and display them, that's completely up to you.
