AllI have been battling with this all week and am at wits end. So here is what I have. I am using Alfresco 3.4 and the jBPM 3.2 workflow engine. I have a workflow that is actually the sample workflow from the Alfresco Developer Guide eBook. I have reviewed the documentation and forums, wiki countless times and keep coming up empty. Here is my process definition file:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<process-definition xmlns="urn:jbpm.org:jpdl-3.1" name="scwf:helloWorldUI">
<start-state name="start">
<task name="scwf:submitHelloWorldTask"/>
<transition name="toHello" to="hello"></transition>
</start-state>
<task-node name="hello">
<transition name="toEnd" to="end1">
<action class="org.alfresco.repo.workflow.jbpm.AlfrescoJavaScript">
<script>
<variable name="scwf_helloName" access="read"/>
<expression>
System.out.println("Hello " + scwf_helloName + "!");
</expression>
</script>
</action>
</transition>
</task-node>
<end-state name="end1"></end-state>
</process-definition>
Here is my workflow model:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<model name="scwf:workflowmodel"
xmlns="http://www.alfresco.org/model/dictionary/1.0">
<description>Someco Workflow Model</description>
<author>Optaros</author>
<version>1.0</version>
<imports>
<import uri="http://www.alfresco.org/model/dictionary/1.0"
prefix="d" />
<import uri="http://www.alfresco.org/model/bpm/1.0"
prefix="bpm" />
</imports>
<namespaces>
<namespace uri="http://www.someco.com/model/workflow/1.0"
prefix="scwf" />
</namespaces>
<types>
<type name="scwf:submitHelloWorldTask">
<parent>bpm:startTask</parent>
<properties>
<property name="scwf:helloName">
<type>d:text</type>
<default>false</default>
</property>
</properties>
</type>
</types>
</model>
Here is my resource bundle:
scwf_workflowmodel.type.scwf_submitHelloWorldTask.title=Start Hello World UI Workflow
scwf_workflowmodel.type.scwf_submitHelloWorldTask.description=Submit a workflow that says hello in the log
scwf_workflowmodel.property.scwf_helloName.title=Name
scwf_workflowmodel.property.scwf_helloName.description=Say hello to this person
# processdefinition related strings
scwf_helloWorldUI.workflow.title=Hello World UI
scwf_helloWorldUI.workflow.description=A simple hello world process
Here is my content model.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE beans PUBLIC '-//SPRING//DTD BEAN//EN' 'http://www.springframework.org/dtd/spring-beans.dtd'>
<beans>
<bean id="extension.dictionaryBootstrap" parent="dictionaryModelBootstrap" depends-on="dictionaryBootstrap">
<property name="models">
<list>
<value>alfresco/extension/model/scWorkflowModel.xml</value>
</list>
</property>
</bean>
<bean id="extension.workflowBootstrap" parent="workflowDeployer">
<property name="labels">
<list>
<value>alfresco.extension.scWorkflow</value>
</list>
</property>
</bean>
</beans>
And finally my configuration for the webUI from web-client-config-custom.xml
<config evaluator="node-type" condition="scwf:helloWorldUI" replace="true">
<property-sheet>
<separator name="sep1" display-label-id="general" component-generator="HeaderSeparatorGenerator" />
<show-property name="scwf:helloName" component-generator="TextFieldGenerator" display-label_id="scwf_helloName"/>
<separator name="sep2" display-label-id="user_filter_user" component-generator="HeaderSeparatorGenerator" />
</property-sheet>
</config>
Whenever I select a piece of content and attempt to start Advanced Workflow for it, the property for helloName does not show up. HELP!! My model is parsed just fine. Do I need to include the bpm:assignee in my workflow? Also I never see anything in my log file when I use the AlfrescoJavaScript action for other non-UI workflow that execute successfully. And I have turned logging to DEBUG for log4j.propertiesRegardsBrenda
