Hi,

I'm implementing the interface  WorkflowProcess and I need to recover the property "arguments" what i set in the my workflow (see image).

@ Override
     public void execute (WorkItem WorkItem, WorkflowSession workflowSession, MetaDataMap metaDataMap) throws WorkflowException {
}

the examples I found on the internet no work.
Could someone help me?

 

Thank's in advanced

You can get process arguments by using this API:

https://docs.adobe.com/docs/en/cq/current/javadoc/com/adobe/granite/workflow/exec/WorkflowProcess.html

The following Java code is the execute method for a WorkflowProcess implementation. The method logs the value in the args MetaDataMap that is associated with the PROCESS_ARGS key.

public void execute(WorkItem item, WorkflowSession session, MetaDataMap args) throws WorkflowException {

        if (args.containsKey("PROCESS_ARGS")){
            log.info("workflow metadata for key PROCESS_ARGS and value {}",args.get("PROCESS_ARGS","string").toString());
        }       
    }

I found this example quite easy to follow. It should be a good starting point
