How can I retrieve the expression from the PvmTransition

[frauke]

Hello everybody,

I am trying to analyze a process by parsing the PVM definition.
But I did not succeed to read the expression string of a transition.
I used

(UelValueExpressionCondition) trans.getProperty("condition");‍

to retrieve the UelValueExpressionCondition but then I am not able to get the expression string from that class. How can this be done?

You're right. The class UelValueExpressionCondition does have a field valueExpression containing an ActivitiValueExpression, but thats protected.

Perhaps, we could introduce methods for retrieving a String Representation of a condition and maybe also its type to the Condition interface?

That would be great!!!

Could you create a Jira for this and assign this to Tom? Since this is PVM stuff, he'll have a more elaborate opinion on it than me.

Ok, I have done so.

Hello everybody,

is this issue still in the line? Would it be possible to have it with the next release?

It is assigned to me currently. I'll try to squeeze it into the 5.0 release. Otherwise 5.1 for sure.
