Method Detail

createProcess

public String createProcess(String componentId,
                            String userId,
                            String fileName,
                            byte[] fileContent)
                     throws ProcessManagerException

Create a process instance for a specific workflow component, by a specific user using one role of thoose defined in a given workflow definition. The contents of a file is passed in as a single parameter. This file is uploaded into the process data and stored in the first field of the file type.

Specified by:

createProcess in interface ProcessManagerBm

Parameters:

componentId - the ID of the component which defines the workflow (must be a workflow component).

userId - the current user ID.

fileName - the name of the file being pushed during process creation.

fileContent - the full content of the file being pushed during process creation (as an array of bytes).

Returns:

the instance ID of the newly started process

Throws:

ProcessManagerException

createProcess

public String createProcess(String componentId,
                            String userId,
                            String userRole,
                            Map<String,? extends Serializable> metadata)
                     throws ProcessManagerException

Create a process instance for a specific workflow component, by a specific user using one role of thoose defined in a given workflow definition.

Some information may be specified that will fill in the creation form of the new process instance. Such data should be placed into a map structure of key-value pairs where keys are the name of the intended fields of the creation form and values are strins (text fields), dates (date fields), colelctions of strings, collections of dates, or a single FileContent object.

FileContent are used to pass in as an argument a complete file of binary data, loaded into memory.

Specified by:

createProcess in interface ProcessManagerBm

Parameters:

componentId - the ID of the component which defines the workflow (must be a workflow component).

userId - the current user ID.

userRole - the role of the user while creating the process instance (this role must have been defined in the workflow process definition).

metadata - a map of all input metadata, coming with the file and describing it. The key is expected to be the name of a field in the process form definition (with specification of the type name of the field), and the value must be the value to put into this field (it may be a collection of value if the field is multivaluated, else only the first value is considered).

Returns:

the instance ID of the newly started process

Throws:

ProcessManagerException
