notice that WorkflowBean.setupTaskDialog is very important method, already you can write your own method. public void setupTaskDialog(String id, String type) { ParameterCheck.mandatoryString("Task ID", id); ParameterCheck.mandatoryString("Task Type", type); // setup the dispatch context with the task we're opening a dialog for TransientNode node = new TransientNode(QName.createQName(type), id, null); this.navigationBean.setupDispatchContext(node); // pass on parameters for the dialog Map<String, String> params = new HashMap<String, String>(2, 1.0f); params.put("id", id); params.put("type", type); Application.getDialogManager().setupParameters(params); }
All of above will serve you about manage task, but what if you need to initiate a workflow. <a:actionLink id="create_new_outbound" value="#{msg.new_sader}" showLink="false" rendered="#{PermissionUtilDecorator.authorizedToCreateOutbounds && !NavigationBean.mersalAdmin}" actionListener="#{MersalMenuWorkflowBean.initiateMersalWorkflow}" action="dialog:manageTask"> <f:param name="workflowName" value="activiti$CS-Outbound-WFPD"/> <f:param name="isReply" value="false"/> </a:actionLink>
look at the simple action link and then look at the initiateMersalWorkflow /** * @AUTHOR MOHAMMED AMR * @DESCRIPTION THIS METHOD AIMED TO START AN OUTBOUND WORKFLOW AND SKIP THE FIRST STEP (START STEP) FORWARD * TOWARD THE CREATE OUTBOUND TASK * @PARAM EVENT IS AN ACTION EVENT CONTAINS THE OUTBOUND WOKFLOW DEFINITION * */ public void initiateMersalWorkflow(ActionEvent event) { LOG.debug("INITIATE MERSAL WORKFLOW …"); // ACQUIRE THE ACTION LINNK UIActionLink action = (UIActionLink) event.getSource(); // ACQUIRE THE PARAMS Map<String, String> params = action.getParameterMap(); // PREPARE THE WORKFLOW NAME String definition = params.get(BeanUtil.WORKFLOW_DEFINITION_PARAMETER); // ACQUIRE THE WORKFLOW DEFINITION WorkflowDefinition workflowDefinition = this.getWorkflowService().getDefinitionByName(definition); // START WORKFLOW BY USING WORKFLOW DEFINITION AND EMPTY PARAMETERES WorkflowPath workflowPath = this.getWorkflowService().startWorkflow(workflowDefinition.getId(), prepareWorkflowParamters()); // END THE START PATH TASK TO ALLOW THE WORKFLOW ENGINE TO PASS FORWARD // TOWARD THE SECOND PATH, WE ASSUME THAT THIS WORKFLOW INSTANCE HAVE A PATH AT INDEX 0 WorkflowTask workflowTask = this.getWorkflowService().endTask(this.getWorkflowService(). getTasksForWorkflowPath(workflowPath.getId()).get(0).getId(), MersalMenuWorkflowBean.NEXT_TRANSITION); // ACQUIRE THE TASK FOR THE CURRENT PATH, WE ASSUME THAT THE WORKLOFW INSTANCE HAVE A PATH AT INDEX 0 workflowTask = this.getWorkflowService().getTaskById(this.getWorkflowService().getTasksForWorkflowPath(workflowPath.getId()).get(0).getId()); // I WILL USE CREATE TASK TO RENDER TASK PROPERTIES ON THE DIALOG // MAP NODE WILL BE USED IN THE DIALOG TransientMapNode transientMapNode = createTask(workflowTask); // CREATE A NODE OF TRANSIENT NODE TransientMapNode node = new TransientMapNode(QName.createQName(transientMapNode.getType().toString()),workflowTask.getId(), null); // PUT THE NODE INTO THE DISPATCHER CAUSE THE DIALOG WILL ACT UPON NODE // EXIST ON THE CONTEXT DISPATCHER this.navigationBean.setupDispatchContext(node); // PREPARE THE PARAMTERES THAT WILL BE USED BY THE RENDERED PAGE Map<String, String> dialogParameters = new HashMap<String, String>(2, 1.0f); // ADD ID PARAMETER dialogParameters.put("id", workflowTask.getId()); // ADD TYPE PARAMTER dialogParameters.put("type", transientMapNode.getType().toString()); // SETUP DIALOG PARAMTERES Application.getDialogManager().setupParameters(dialogParameters); }
I hope that will serve you, please tell me if you are satisfied or not.
