Custom forms not displaying using starter kit
Hi,
I'm new to JBoss and jBPM, so I apologize if my question is improperly phrased. I'm attempting to get a new process working using the 3.1.3 starter kit, the Eclipse graphical process designer and the supplied webapp. I am attempting to use a custom TaskControllerHandler implementation to handle form input, but have had little success. My intuition is that I should create a custom xhtml file to use with the task that uses the task variables, and supply the link to it in the forms.xml file. However, no matter what I do, the webapp loads an empty form on the start state. I'd appreciate any help you can give.
Here are what I think are the relevant code snippets:
ProcessDefinition.xml:
... <task name="Input Top-level task" swimlane="initiator"> <controller class="<package_name_concealed.ProcessCreatorTaskControllerHandler" config-type="bean"></controller> </task> ...
ProcessCreatorTaskControllerHandler.java:
...
public class ProcessCreatorTaskControllerHandler implements TaskControllerHandler
{
private static final long serialVersionUID = -8342109418315801711L;
public void initializeTaskVariables(TaskInstance taskInstance, ContextInstance contextInstance, Token token)
{
taskInstance.addVariableInstance(
VariableInstance.create(token, "processName", ""));
}
public void submitTaskVariables(TaskInstance taskInstance, ContextInstance contextInstance, Token token)
{
...
}
}
forms.xml:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <forms> <form task="Input Top-level task" form="ProcessInput.xhtml"/> <form task="Input Task Info" form="InputTask.xhtml"/> </forms>
ProcessInput.xhtml
...
<!-- TASKFORM ROWS -->
<tr>
<td>processName</td>
<td>
<input jsfc="h:input" value="#{taskBean.variables['processName']} />
</td>
</tr>
...
Here is the HTML from the webapp, missing any reference to processName:
... <h2>Input Top-level task</h2> <hr /> <table> <tbody id="taskform:_id2:tbody_element"></tbody></table> <hr /> <input id="taskform:transitionButton" name="taskform:transitionButton" type="submit" value="Save and Close Task" onclick="clear_taskform();"/> <hr /> <input id="taskform:_id9" name="taskform:_id9" type="submit" value="Save" onclick="clear_taskform();"/> <input id="taskform:_id10" name="taskform:_id10" type="submit" value="Cancel" onclick="clear_taskform();"/> ...
