[sradha]

Hi,

I have followed the below link.I have added the the aciviti plugin in eclipse 3.7 j2ee version from http://activiti.org/designer/update site.
Now the activiti version is 5.9.3.But while i am creating new activiti diagram,only .bpmn file is created.No .bpmn20.xml file is created automatically.If i am doing any change in xml file by opeing the activiti in xml,editor,it is nor reflecting in diagram.So each time i save the diagram,the changes from xml has gone.Can any body help?

Hi sujay,


I did not found performerType and expression while creating custom activiti workflow.Can you put some light on this?

[sujaypillai]

If you have your Activiti Plugin configured properly in Eclipse, then switch to "Activiti Perspective" and from the palette drag a "AlfrescoUserTask" on to designer.

In the Properties Navigate to "Main Config" to set the value for "Performer Type" & "Expression".

Hi Sujay,

But if I choose task inspite of selecting Alfresco user task,the performerType and Expression is not coming
I want create a custom workflow without using al;fresco predefined pillates.Can you suggest?

[sujaypillai]

When you select Alfresco User Task - you should have Performer Type drop down with values = {Assignee,Candidate users,Candidate groups}

and when you select a general User Task the property sheets shows this as three different fields for which you need to set the values explicitly as per your requirement.
