how to set form properties for jsf pages..

[sherlock]

Hi,


I am new to activiti work flow. I am doing a project with activiti-cdi and jsf.
I have a question that how to use the form properties in eclipse activiti designer to render jsf form elements.
If not possible what is the best way to do it.


Thanks
Sherlock

There is no "out of the box" way of rendering form-properties in JSF. We only have this kind of support for Vaadin. However, if you know a thing or 2 about JSF, it shouldn(t be easy to include/render JSF-tags based on the "type" and configuration of the various supported FormProperty types.

If you call formService.getTaskForm(…), you'll get a list of form-properties containing everything you need to render JSF-elements…

I would not use formproperties. Honestly, if developing real applications with even modestly complex forms it is a limitation… Just develop your forms separately and have backingbeans storing the data in your process if needed.
