[delphine_]

Hello

I create my own workflow which send a notification to validate a document. But an error occur and the mail isn't send :

2013-03-07 11:00:18,027 ERROR [freemarker.runtime]

Expected hash. WorkflowVariables["valideur_dsi"] evaluated instead to freemarker.template.SimpleSequence on line 1, column 14 in mail_valide_doc_dsi.
The problematic instruction:
----------
==> ${WorkflowVariables["valideur_dsi"].firstName} [on line 1, column 12 in mail_valide_doc_dsi]
----------

Java backtrace for programmers:

<p>Bonjour ${WorkflowVariables["valideur_dsi"].firstName}</p>
<br /> 
L'utilisateur ${workflowInitiator} souhaite faire relire ce document :<br /> 
<br /> 
Titre : ${Document['dc:title']}<br /> 
<br /> 
Description : ${Document['dc:description']}<br /> 
<br /> 
Date de création : ${Document['dc:created']}<br /> 
<br /> 
Lien vers le document : <a href="${docUrl}">${Document['dc:title']}</a><br />\ |
<br/>
Merci d'avance

But there must be an error in the variables ...

Someone to help me ? Thanks in advance !

WorkflowVariables["valideur_dsi"] return the value stored into the Workflow named valideur_dsi => username.

If you want the firstname, you will have to fetch the Profile Object of the user.

I have no easy in my head now to help you to fetch that. My ideas would be to store also the firstname and last name by automation, but that a bit ugly... Maybe someone can help ?

Hi,

You can use Fn.getPrincipal("userName") to get the infos:
/>

${Fn.getPrincipal("userName").firstName}

If you can't hard-code the name, then you must use an intermediate variable to store the information. In an automation chain in the Studio for example, you'll have something like this:

[...previous actions...]
Execution Context > Set Context Variable
    name:  zeUser
    value: @{WorkflowVariables["valideur_dsi"]}
Notification  Send E-Mail
[...next actions...]

In the template of the eMail, you use Fn.getPrincipal((zeUser):

Bonjour ${Fn.getPrincipal(zeUser).firstName}  ${Fn.getPrincipal(zeUser).lastName},
...
