Document is in disposed state! - accessing a Document workflow variable

We have written a custom workflow step.  It has the following code.  The idea is to save a Document variable to the Payload directory.

In Java, we are trying to read in the Document variable.

 

Document doc = (Document) wfd.getMetaDataMap().get(docDataVariableName);
log.info("Document is a variable name: " + docDataVariableName);
log.info("Document information content type: " + doc.getContentType());

 

It fails when accessing doc.getContentType();

 

java.lang.IllegalStateException: Document is in a disposed state!
at com.adobe.aemfd.docmanager.Document.checkDisposed(Document.java:236) [adobe-aemds-core-docmanager:3.0.94]
at com.adobe.aemfd.docmanager.Document.getContentType(Document.java:383) [adobe-aemds-core-docmanager:3.0.94]
at com.s360g.aem.workflowcomponent.custom.saveDocumentToPayload.execute(saveDocumentToPayload.java:74) [com-s360g-aem-workflowcomponent.core:0.1.0.20220519201659008]

 

We have similar problems in other components too - all when accessing the Document variable from a workflow.

 

I had a previous post that says this was a bug in 6.5.9 - I have upgraded to 6.5.12 and still having the issue.  I have opened a ticket: 000626337 but, I would love any feedback ahead of answering the ticket.  It's a big blocker in our project.

 

Thanks,

    It is not a service producing the Document.  We have built a custom component to read a file from filesystem into a document variable.

     

    Document doc = new Document(inFile);
    com.adobe.aemfd.docmanager.Document(Files.readAllBytes(filePath));
    //doc.passivate();
    wfd.getMetaDataMap().put(documentVariableName, doc);

     

    This is the code to set the Document variable in the "read file from filesystem"

        @crich2784 Will it be possible for you to share the code for the custom workflow step? Are you calling document.dispose() anywhere in your code? How are you creating the document object? Most likely, this is not a product bug but issue in the custom code.

          @sharoon23  the code is super simple and I have a 1 step workflow to exploit the issue.  It has been submitted to Adobe support.  After reading my dialog variables, this is the code to read the file from the filesystem and put it into a Document variable in the workflow.  The document variable in the workflow is not be accessed prior to this component.

           

          log.info(" Creating File variable using this path: " + path);
          File inFile = new File(path);
          if(inFile.exists() ) {
          log.info(" File exists - proceeding with setting process variables.");
          if ( fileExistsVariableName.length() > 0 ) {
          log.info(" Setting variable fileExistsVariableName to Boolean.TRUE" );
          wfd.getMetaDataMap().put(fileExistsVariableName, Boolean.TRUE);
          }
          log.info(" Creating Adobe Document from java File.");
          Document doc = new Document(inFile);
          log.info(" Document created with content type " + doc.getContentType() + " and maxInlineSize " + doc.getMaxInlineSize());
          //Path filePath = Paths.get(path);
          //com.adobe.aemfd.docmanager.Document doc = new com.adobe.aemfd.docmanager.Document(Files.readAllBytes(filePath));
          //doc.passivate();
          wfd.getMetaDataMap().put(documentVariableName, doc);
