Dynamic Form creation (URGENT)

[sarkar92]

I am using activiti 5.14.
I am using REST api to start process , viewing usertask and complete task.
I have almost 10 processes in my project. In every process there is "fixed" form in usertask and that form hold some non-editable value.
While showing usertask values in using those form values.

But now the problem is as our project processes growing i need  "generic form" for all process instead of fixed form in every user task.
Is it possible whenever i start a process using REST i pass some values to that process and using those values i will dynamically create a form for usertask.


thanks

I forget to add that in my process there are only script tasks…. no Java Service tasks

You are referring to the form-properties I presume? It's currently not possible to define a "shared" set of form-properties for multiple user-tasks. Are you using a custom UI to show the forms? If so, you can opt for NOT using the form-properties but count on the "form key" instead, creating a form in your UI and passing in variables when submitting the form, instead of using form-properties.

This way, the way the form is rendered is completely up to you, so it can be dynamic/shared with other user-taks, while the process is unaware of this, and is just receiving variables.

How we can count on "Form key" ?  I make an HTML or JSF file and use "form key" to reference this file to my process. But I don't really know, how can make a connection between my process and that HTML or JSF file when I deploy the process. I mean the process file in Activiti 5.14 just a bpmn file and can not make a BAR or ZIP file with other resources.

How I can add these resources to my process? (I thought, I should add these resources to the Activiti Tomocat! Maybe!)

Best,

The UI is really dependant of the engine itself. You should create your own mapping between the form-key of a task and *SOME* view you will render in the UI-tier. Depending on what UI you're using, your view-manager will have to either redirect to that particular view or include a fragment of HTML/whatever in the current view, based on that key.

can you please provide some example code for this? It will help a lot.
