Setting calledElement of a CallActivity at runtime

[unknown-user]

Hi guys,

Is it possible to set the calledElement of a CallActivity at runtime?
Should generally be possible, since the User's Guide is saying: "Note that the process definition of the subprocess is resolved at runtime".

Using an expression like ${processtobecalled} does not work, because the XML parser states that it is not a valid QName.

Any help would be very much appreciated…

Thanks,
Markus

This does indeed not work. It is on my todolist for 5.5 (maybe 5.4, but no guarantees)

Hi Ronald,

Sounds good!

Is there a way to do it programatically? I tried to find my way through the API, which however is challenging…

Thanks,

Hi Ronald,

Is it included in Activiti 5.4?
I guess not, since I didn't see it in the release notes…

Thanks,

Does anyone know if this has now been included/resolved?

I am getting the QName error (cvc-attribute.3) when setting the calledElement attribute of a Call Activity to ${processToCall}

Many thanks

Please ignore. I upgraded to activiti-engine-5.9.jar (after reading this - http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/ACT-831?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:all-tab... )

Works fine now!

Thanks all
