Re: CreateProcess and definition parameter

[pieter.martin]

Hi,

Is there a reason why the 'definition' parameter of the @CreateProcess annotation does not get parsed as an el expression.

The 'processKey' parameter returns an el expression.

The reason I ask is because I have a generic create business process action and would like to pass in the business process definition as a parameter. If the 'definition' parameter was an el expression it would be easy.

Thanks
Pieter

Hi,

I have added the following code to BusinessProcessInterceptor

   private String getTagDefinition(String el)
   {
      Object key = Expressions.instance().createValueExpression(el).getValue();
      if (key==null)
      {
         throw new IllegalStateException("business process definition name may not be null");
      }
      return key.toString();
   }

This gets called in

private Object afterInvocation(InvocationContext invocation, Object result) {

...
BusinessProcess.instance().createProcess( getTagDefinition(tag.definition()), getProcessKey( tag.processKey() ) );

...
}

I have tested this and it works well.

Shall I log a feature request for this or not?

Thanks
Pieter
