Re: Adding new workitems programmatically, without repacking the application ?

Thank you for the reply ..

 

I could register the  workitemhandler and the confusion was about the work item definition.

 

So Let me confirm what I understood about the work definition.

 

A work definition  for example ,

 

import org.drools.process.core.datatype.impl.type.StringDataType;

[

  // the Notification work item

  [

    "name" : "Notification",

    "parameters" : [

      "Message" : new StringDataType(),

      "From" : new StringDataType(),

      "To" : new StringDataType(),

      "Priority" : new StringDataType(),

    ],

    "displayName" : "Notification",

    "icon" : "icons/notification.gif"

  ]

 

]

 

Is just a template  used by the editor to show the properties of a domain specific task. Internally workdefintion is used to map the parameters, results to the BPMN format. As BPMN format  is used by the processing engine, It doesn't want a reference to the work definition .

 

Am I right  ?

 

Cheers :)
