Hi Team,

I read the user guide from below link –
http://www.activiti.org/userguide/index.html

I also downloaded the activity 5.11 and deployed the activity-explorer in tomcat 6. It is successfully deployed and running

Additionally I would like to inform you that a I have created  small workflow/process and deployed in tomcat and it is running –

My custom work flow is very small –

1.   Start-event  User task  end event
2.   A Listener (TaskListener) is added as an listener into the user task.
3.   It is noticed the notify()  of the my custom listeners is executed while “start process” link is clicked

Now I want to create Form (using built-in form properties) and attached to User process so that it can be open while process will be started. I also need to know how do I get the from data and also how to delegate the form data to the next Task

Please provide tutorial and sample example for the same.

Thanks In advance

Thanks,
Aswini

The Explorer webapps ships with some example processes, check those first because some of them have form property examples:

eg

<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; <startEvent id="theStart"><br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; <extensionElements><br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; <activiti:formProperty id="throwException" name="Throw exception when executing timer"<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; type="enum" required="true"><br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; <activiti:value id="true" name="Yes, please" /><br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; <activiti:value id="false" name="No thanks" /><br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; </activiti:formProperty><br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; <activiti:formProperty id="duration" name="Timer duration" type="enum" required="true"><br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; <activiti:value id="long" name="One hour" /><br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; <activiti:value id="short" name="10 seconds" /><br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; </activiti:formProperty><br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; </extensionElements><br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; </startEvent><br>
That is the form of the 'timers example'
