expression is not working in formkey

accipiter

<userTask id="managerApproval" name="manager approval" activiti:assignee="${manager}" activiti:formKey="managerApproval.jsp?manager=${manager}"></userTask>

manager is a process variable. it works fine as an expression in assignee, but doesn't work for the formKey

as the description of ACT-1015, formkey support expression from version 5.9 and i m working base on version 5.14
is there anything wrong with what i m doing?

this is the bpmn definition

<userTask id="managerApproval" name="manager approval" activiti:assignee="${manager}" activiti:formKey="managerApproval.jsp?manager=${manager}"></userTask>

manager is a process variable. it works fine as an expression in assignee, but doesn't work for the formKey. it is treated as plain text in formkey

I checked the code and it gets resolved. We have unit tests for it.

How are you using this process and how are you fetching this form key?

accipiter

this is the code i am using to get the formkey.

String formKey = formService.getTaskFormKey(task.getProcessDefinitionId(), task.getTaskDefinitionKey());

it give me the value of "managerApproval.jsp?manager=${manager}" with the ${manager} unchanged.

something else, if i dont define the process variable of manager, it will throw an exception here.
so i think something is done here with expression, but it doesn't translate the value for me.

i have found the problem. i am using a difination method, however i should use a runtime method.

jbarrez

Can you explain that?

accipiter

the process variables are only available in a process instance.
i m trying to get the formkey from process defination at before, therefore i get a unexprected result.
however if i get the formkey from the runtime instance, the process variables are available to fill the expression

String formKey = formService.getTaskFormData(task.getId()).getFormKey();
