How to get user firstname and lastname in a generated document

[r_kister]

Hello,

I work on a process that generate a document in enterprise version of Activiti.

In my process, i select a people in a form and i would like to have his firstname and his lastname in the generated document.

If i put this in the document template

<<[vacataire]>>

where vacataire is the form ID, i get his user ID.

Is there a way to get his firstname and his lastname ?

Hi,

As you found out, the Person picker populates a user id (long) which isn't much help.

However, you can retrieve the User object using the userService bean from within a script task or listener:

com.activiti.domain.idm.User user = userService.findActiveUser(userId);

Once you have this simply call getFirstName() and getLastName() on the returned User object.

Unfortunately the userService is not well documented yet.

Hope this helps,

Greg

Hi Greg,

Thank you for your response.

How can i get the userService in a listener ?

Can you give me an example code of a listener or script task (javascript) with use of userService.

Raphael,

userService is exposed as a bean in Activiti Enterprise, therefore you simply access it by its name.
The following simply groovy script task code retrieves all users and populates their ID's into a process variable :

Script Task
import com.activiti.domain.idm.User; import com.activiti.security.SecurityUtils; out.println('Start - Init'); ArrayList idList = new ArrayList(); Long tenantId = SecurityUtils.getCurrentUserObject().getTenantId(); List<User> users = userService.getAllUsers(0,999,tenantId); for (User u : users) { idList.add(u.getId()); } execution.setVariable('assigneeList', idList); out.println('End - Init');

Hi Greg,

Thank you for your response.

To get firstName, lastName and Email of a people, i use "userInfoBean" in a JavaScript Script Task :

var vacataireID = execution.getVariable("vacataire");
var vacataireNom = userInfoBean.getLastName(vacataireID, execution);
var vacatairePrenom = userInfoBean.getFirstName(vacataireID, execution);
var vacataireEmail = userInfoBean.getEmail(vacataireID, execution);‍‍‍‍‍


execution.setVariable("vacataireNom", vacataireNom);
execution.setVariable("vacatairePrenom", vacatairePrenom);
execution.setVariable("vacataireEmail", vacataireEmail);‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍

Hi, I have a similar issue.. I am calling my bean

import com.activiti.domain.idm.User;
import com.activiti.service.api.UserService;

@Autowired

static UserService userService;

public static String getProjectID(DelegateExecution execution) {

Long userid = SecurityUtils.getCurrentUserId();   <--------- NOTHING is retured....

Got userID through

List<IdentityLink> identityLink = processEngine.getRuntimeService().getIdentityLinksForProcessInstance(processID);

User user = userService.findUser(userid);  <------ NOTHING AGAIN

}
