workflow execution

Avatar

Level 4

Hi,

i need to execute a custom workflow that contains the default step plus a Process Step.

The Process Step links to:

public class MyProcess implements JavaProcessExt { /** Default log. */ protected final Logger log = LoggerFactory.getLogger(MyProcess.class); public void execute(WorkItem item, WorkflowSession session, String args[]) throws Exception { WorkflowData workflowData = item.getWorkflowData(); log.info("ok!!!"); } public void execute(WorkItem item, WorkflowSession session) throws Exception { String[] args = new String[]{"true"}; execute(item, session, args); } }

If i launch the workflow with the sidekick:

[img]93020c6a.png[/img]

This is my log:

[img]Untitled.png[/img]

The final step is completed but the workflow still remains in running. Why?

Now i need to call this workflow inside java code:

log.info("payload "+payload+" workflow_path "+workflow_path); session= this.repository.loginAdministrative(null); WorkflowSession wfSession = workflowService.getWorkflowSession(session); WorkflowModel wfModel = wfSession.getModel(workflow_path); WorkflowData wfData = wfSession.newWorkflowData("JCR_PATH", payload); log.info(wfModel+" "+wfData);

When i print the variables the wfData is a correct object but the wfModel is null. The workflow_path variable is "/etc/workflow/models/test" and is correct (you can see this on the first attached image).

Where is the mistake?

 

Thanks

When invoking a workflow with the API - ensure you reference the correct model. Here is a community for this community members wanting to know more about invoking a workflow model via the AEM Workflow API:

When you are starting the workflow programmatically, make sure you are closing all the session including workflow session !

The first thing that jumps out to me is the class that you use in the custom step.

public class MyProcess implements JavaProcessExt

(Deprecated. Use WorkflowProcess instead)

When creating a custom step - you should implement:

com.adobe.granite.workflow.exec.WorkflowProcess

Also - please post a screenshot of the workflow model so the community can get a better understanding what you are trying to do.

So its in a running mode after it completes?

I have resolved the second problem with the change of: /etc/workflow/models/test to /etc/workflow/models/test/jcr:content/model

Now i'm using WorkflowProcess but nothing is changed.

This is the model.xml of the process step:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <jcr:root xmlns:sling="http://sling.apache.org/jcr/sling/1.0" xmlns:cq="http://www.day.com/jcr/cq/1.0" xmlns:jcr="http://www.jcp.org/jcr/1.0" xmlns:nt="http://www.jcp.org/jcr/nt/1.0" jcr:isCheckedOut="{Boolean}false" jcr:primaryType="cq:WorkflowModel" jcr:uuid="771f74e9-c4dc-41e0-83f7-a06548e00ae9" sling:resourceType="cq/workflow/components/model" description="No Description" title="test"> <metaData cq:lastModified="{Long}1443186943012" cq:lastModifiedBy="admin" jcr:primaryType="nt:unstructured"/> <nodes jcr:primaryType="nt:unstructured"> <node0 jcr:primaryType="cq:WorkflowNode" title="Start" type="START"> <metaData jcr:primaryType="nt:unstructured"/> </node0> <node1 jcr:primaryType="cq:WorkflowNode" description="Description of step 1" title="Step 1" type="PARTICIPANT"> <metaData jcr:primaryType="nt:unstructured" PARTICIPANT="admin"/> </node1> <node2 jcr:primaryType="cq:WorkflowNode" title="Double click to enter a title" type="PROCESS"> <metaData jcr:primaryType="nt:unstructured" PROCESS="mypath.MyProcess"/> </node2> <node3 jcr:primaryType="cq:WorkflowNode" title="End" type="END"> <metaData jcr:primaryType="nt:unstructured"/> </node3> </nodes> <transitions jcr:primaryType="nt:unstructured"> <node0_x0023_node1 jcr:primaryType="cq:WorkflowTransition" from="node0" rule="" to="node1"> <metaData jcr:primaryType="nt:unstructured"/> </node0_x0023_node1> <node1_x0023_node2 jcr:primaryType="cq:WorkflowTransition" from="node1" rule="" to="node2"> <metaData jcr:primaryType="nt:unstructured"/> </node1_x0023_node2> <node2_x0023_node3 jcr:primaryType="cq:WorkflowTransition" from="node2" to="node3"> <metaData jcr:primaryType="nt:unstructured"/> </node2_x0023_node3> </transitions> </jcr:root>
