external form rendering

[saliaz]

Hi,

I am new to Activiti and BPM generally.

I need specific basic example that shows how to render external forms for user input.  I do not prefer Input fields through the form propeties so external form is my priortiy to give me flexibility to choose from various templtes.

I checked user guide section 9 but could not figure out much.

thanks
sal

Maybe those posts can help you:

you can use any frontend-technology you like. With the formKey-attribute, you can link a form (HTML, JSP, XForms or whatever) to the corresponding UserTask.

hey Ben ,

i've a problem on how to link my JSF pages to my workflow with formKey you just give the jsf page  , i need jsf pages to be displayed as part of user tasks as the workflow executes and retrieve it's data to do other tasks such as Service Task ... do you have any idea how to do that ?
