dynamically-loaded enum type work item parameter + custom editor in jBPM web designer

created by Szymek Pindelski in jBPM - View the full discussion

hi,

what is the best way to service dynamically-loaded enum-typed work item parameters ?

I need to define a custom service task with an input parameter whose list of available values is loaded from db (or some other external source).

Then I would like to display it in jbpm web designer as a drop-down - so the user could just pick the right value.

There is a EnumDataType but it seems that it's a simple wrapper for static Java enumerations with fixed value list.

Should I use ObjectDataType with className java.util.Map<String, Object> (or simply 'java.util.Map') instead ?

Or maybe a custom-defined data type would be necessary ?

How to add a custom editor to view it as a drop-down list in jBPM web designer ?

I read  {thread:id=731208}this discussion{thread} about adding custom editors to web designer and since version 2.2 is out i presume this extensibility is now a standard feature ?

How to add such custom editor ?

Thanks in advance for your assistance.

regards

Simon

BTW, i use jbpm 5.4.0.Final along with web designer 2.4.0.Final
