Starting Workflow programatically in WCM

[rupesh_alfresco]

Hi All,

I am facing problem in starting workflow programmatically on an avmnode. following is the scenario.
1) creating files in stagging sandbox with the help of AVMService.
2) creating a separate translation store and copy the same file to it.
3) creating an action to submit the file to the workflow.
4) finally execute the action.
i tried it with two ways first one is creating an action to execute javascript, but it is not executing,
and second one is i created an action to start a workflow for this it is giving exception invalid node ref and node does not exist

org.alfresco.service.cmr.repository.InvalidNodeRefException: Node does not exist: avm://Sports–Translation–en–28e37284-ab0a-11dd-b87a-4d5e6d1f30ed/-1;www;avm_webapps;ROOT;English;2008;8;25spo0005.08082501355.xml

Hi All,
i got success to start the workflow programmatically but whenever it is going to the particular user, it is not displaying the content in to the resource section.
That means it is unable to get the resource on which workflow started there is some association problem of resource, it will be great anybody  can guide me.
Thanks in Advance.

Hi Rupesh,

I am trying to create content programatically in WCM using Java-backed Web-script.

From your earlier post it seems that you were able to achieve this.

Can you please help me with this, and if possible kindly share the code so that i can get a fair idea about it.

Thanks in advance

Regards
Himanshu

Himanshu- i am not creating content just moving content from file system to Alfresco Avm Repository

Hi Rupesh,

I was also able to create content programatically.

So how were you able to resolve your problem of starting the workflow??
