I have a question regarding the User Forn variables. I was under the impression that freemarker template (ftl)
files have to be created for user forms. But I was able to run the HelloProcess example discussed in this forum.
I believe the XML code creates the user interface form.
1. I tried to read my own ftl file by changing the TaskName property in the XML. I have the Hello.ftl deployed
in the resources directory of the project as I have seen it in an example. But it does not display my form.
It is still reading the hardcoded contents in the XML
| | <dataInputAssociation> |
| | <targetRef>_4_TaskNameInput</targetRef> |
| | <assignment> |
| | <from xsi:type="tFormalExpression">Hello</from> |
| | <to xsi:type="tFormalExpression">_4_TaskNameInput</to> |
| | </assignment> |
| | </dataInputAssociation> |
2. I see a complete button to submit the form. But that is not harcoded anywhere in the XML. Where does it come
from ? The XML file of the BPMN diagram is attached for your reference.
I would like to read my own ftl files rather than hardcoding the contents in the XML. In the Developers Guide I saw
an example where the ftl file is included in the XML with the following construct. But I do not have any examples
on that usage of how input/output is done through the form.
<userTask id="requestVacation" name="Request Vacation"
implementation="other">
<potentialOwner resourceRef="user" jbpm:type="group">
<resourceAssignmentExpression>
<formalExpression>user</formalExpression>
</resourceAssignmentExpression>
</potentialOwner>
<rendering id="requestForm">
<jbpm:form>org/jbpm/examples/bpmn/usertask/taskform/request_vacation.ftl</jbpm:form>
</rendering>
</userTask>
Your response will be highly appreciated.
