Hello all, I have a ServiceTask in my workflow that resolves to a Spring Managed bean. It looks like this:
<serviceTask id="springTask1" name="BeanTest" activiti:expression="${taskBean.execute(contactName)}"></serviceTask>
I am not starting the process via code, but the process is either started via the activti-rest api or a form. How can I get the context in which this task is executing from inside the bean that the task invokes, so that I might be able to add a process variable that could be referenced in a later task, such as an email.My process engine is Spring enabled. Here's a sample of what my managed bean looks like that is being invoked from the expression:
package org.psc.bpmn.examples;
import java.util.List;
import org.activiti.engine.RuntimeService;
import org.psc.bpmn.tasks.Contact;
import org.psc.service.ContactService;
public class GetBeanTest {
public GetBeanTest() {
super();
}
private ContactService contactService;
private RuntimeService runtimeService;
public void execute(String contactName) throws Exception {
if(contactService == null){
System.out.println("Bean was null!");
}else{
System.out.println("Bean is valid!");
List<Contact> contacts= contactService.getContacts();
System.out.println("There are " + contacts.size() +" in the contact list.");
for (Contact contact : contacts) {
if(contact.getName().equalsIgnoreCase(contactName)){
System.out.println("Found the contact! " + contactName );
// How do I get the current process so I can put some new process variable into it?
// runtimeService.?????
}
}
}
}
public void setRuntimeService(RuntimeService runtimeService) {
this.runtimeService = runtimeService;
}
public void setContactService(ContactService contactService) {
this.contactService = contactService;
}
}
I hope my question is clear. Thanks in advance for any replies.
