How to include ordinary Javascript in processdefinition.xml

[nobel]

Hi everyone,

   
I have a javascript file called myworkflow.js that contains

function myalffun()
{
     window.alert("something");
return;
}

In my processdefinition.xml i included js as follows:

……
<transition name="approve" to="l10_content_authoring" >
<action class="org.alfresco.repo.workflow.jbpm.AlfrescoJavaScript">
<script>
<import resource="/Company Home/Data Dictionary/Scripts/myworflow.js"/>
<expression>
        myalffun();
</expression>
</script>
</action>
</transition>
…..

The system throws an error as "window" is not defined?

Is there any configuration to be done to use ordinary javascript in processdefintion.xml?

Plz guide me.

Advance Thanks,
nobel

It's not an issue of the scripting language.  

You are running your script on a server and there is no "window" object to communicate with.

In general you shouldn't attempt to interact with a user in a workflow transition.   

A better solution may be to create a workflow task that has a content property for the user to fill in.
