I am very new to Activiti BPMN. I am creating a flow diagram in activiti. I m looking for how username (who has completed the task) can be pass into shell task arguments. so that I can fetch and save in db that user who has completed that task.
Any Help would be highly appreciated.
Thanks in advance...
Here's something I prepared for Java developers based on I think a blog post I saw
edit: https://community.alfresco.com/thread/224336-result-variable-in-javadelegate
RESULT VARIABLE
Option (1) – use expression language (EL) in the XML
<serviceTask id="serviceTask"
activiti:expression="#{myService.toUpperCase(myVar)}"
activiti:resultVariable="myVar" />
Java
public class MyService {
public String toUpperCase(String val) {
return val.toUpperCase();
}
}
The returned String is assigned to activiti:resultVariable
HACKING THE DATA MODEL DIRECTLY
Option (2) – use the execution environment
Java
public class MyService implements JavaDelegate {
public void execute(DelegateExecution execution) throws Exception {
String myVar = (String) execution.getVariable("myVar");
execution.setVariable("myVar", myVar.toUpperCase());
}
}
By contrast here we are being passed an ‘execution’, and we are pulling values out of it and twiddling them and putting them back.
This is somewhat analogous to a Servlet taking values we are passed in the HTMLRequest and then based on them doing different things in the response. (A stronger analogy would be a servlet Filter)
So in your particular instance (depnding on how you are invoking the shell script) using the Expression Language (EL) might be simplest and easiest.
Of course the value you want to pass has to be one that the process knows about (otherwise how can it pass a value it doesn't have a variable for?)
Hope that helps. :D
Usually in BPM engines you have a way to hook out listener to these kind of events. In Activiti if you are embedding it inside your service you can add an extra EventListener and then record the taskCompleted events which will contain the current logged in user.
https://www.activiti.org/userguide/#eventDispatcher
Hope this helps.
I have used activiti:taskListener from activiti app you need to configure below properties
1. I changed properties in task listener.
2. I used java script variable for holding task.assignee value.

I want following functionality in spring data rest.
If I post to a collection resource end point, server should check if the object exists. if it exists already it should perform the same functionality as it does with merge-patch on item resource. If object does not exist already it should create it.
Is this achievable in spring data rest. If so then how?
If it is possible in your use case, you might want to use PUT instead of POST, as PUT should work as you expected.
Solution with POST
You can achieve the desired behavior with Spring Data REST Event handlers.
Just create a Handler method which accepts your entity and annotate it with #HandleBeforeCreate. In this method, you can implement your behavior, i.e. check if the object exists and update it manually or just do nothing and let the Spring Data REST handle the entity creation.
#RepositoryEventHandler
public class EntityEventHandler {
#Autowired
private EntityService entityService;
#HandleBeforeCreate
public void handleEntityCreate(Entity e) {
if (entityService.exists(e)) {
entityService.update(e);
}
}
}
EDIT:
I just realized that you would also need to stop the create event after your update. You might try throwing a custom Exception and Handling it to return 200 and the updated entity.
According to Phillip Riand (see: discussion on openNTF) this is not possible... They need to know the design element to find out who signed it. Therefore, it is only available in SSJS.
There are 2 ways that I know of to use the sessionAsSigner object in Java beans:
1 By resolving the sessionAsSigner object:
FacesContext context = FacesContext.getCurrentInstance();
Session sessionAsSigner = context.getApplication().getVariableResolver().
resolveVariable(context, "sessionAsSigner");
2 By using the getCurrentSessionAsSigner() function from the com.ibm.xsp.extlib.util.ExtLibUtil class in the Extension Library.
To be able to use it (in Java as wel as SSJS) you'll want to make sure that all design elements were signed by the same user ID. If that's not the case, the sessionAsSigner object will not be available ('undefined').
I found that the solution is right at hand :-)
I changed my XPage (in this example an XAgent) to:
<xp:view xmlns:xp="http://www.ibm.com/xsp/core" rendered="false">
This is an xAgent returning json data...
<xp:this.afterRenderResponse><![CDATA[#{javascript:Controller.verify(sessionAsSigner)}]]></xp:this.afterRenderResponse>
and in the bean I simply used the session in the argument when I needed to open a database/document as signer. Sometimes the solution is so simple :-)

This is quite an old post that I just stumbled upon. Tried some of the solutions mentioned above:
resolveVariable did not work for me, at least not for sessionAsSigner as this throws a runtime error (I can resolve plain old session, though...)
to be honest I didn't quite understand the Controller.verify(sessionAsSigner) method; is Controller something specific to XAgents? If so, I don't have an XAgent here, so can't use it
didn't feel like importing extra ExtLib classes here...
So I came up with another solution that appears to be very simple:
created a method in my javaBean that takes a session object as argument; since sessionAsSigner belongs to the same class as session I don't have to import something new.
Javacode is:
public void testSession(Session s) throws Exception{
System.out.println(" > test effective user for this session = "
+ s.getEffectiveUserName());
}
This is called from SSJS as either
mybean.testSession(session);
or
myBean.testSession(sessionAsSigner);
Maybe helps others, too
I want to retrieve a Map from a using JAX-RS (text/xml)
#GET
public Map<String,String> getMap(){
}
but I am getting the error below:
0000001e FlushResultHa E org.apache.wink.server.internal.handlers.FlushResultHandler handleResponse The system could not find a javax.ws.rs.ext.MessageBodyWriter or a DataSourceProvider class for the java.util.HashMap type and application/x-ms-application mediaType. Ensure that a javax.ws.rs.ext.MessageBodyWriter exists in the JAX-RS application for the type and media type specified.

The solution I choose is to wrap a Map and use it for the return param.
#XmlRootElement
public class JaxrsMapWrapper {
private Map<String,String> map;
public JaxrsMapWrapper(){
}
public void setMap(Map<String,String> map) {
this.map = map;
}
public Map<String,String> getMap() {
return map;
}
}
and the method signature will go like this
#GET
public JaxrsMapWrapper getMap()
Your problem is that the default serialization strategy (use JAXB) means that you can't serialize that map directly. There are two main ways to deal with this.
Write an XmlAdaptor
There are a number of questions on this on SO but the nicest explanation I've seen so far is on the CXF users mailing list from a few years ago. The one tricky bit (since you don't want an extra wrapper element) is that once you've got yourself a type adaptor, you've got to install it using a package-level annotation (on the right package, which might take some effort to figure out). Those are relatively exotic.
Write a custom MessageBodyWriter
It might well be easier to write your own code to do the serialization. To do this, you implement javax.ws.rs.ext.MessageBodyWriter and tag it with #Provider (assuming that you are using an engine that uses that to manage registration; not all do for complex reasons that don't matter too much here). This will let you produce exactly the document you want from any arbitrary type at a cost of more complexity when writing (but at least you won't be having complex JAXB problems). There are many ways to actually generate XML, with which ones to choose between depending on the data to be serialized
Note that if you were streaming the data out rather than assembling everything in memory, you'd have to implement this interface.
Using CXF 2.4.2, it supports returning Map from the api. I use jackson-jaxrs 1.9.6 for serialization.
#Path("participation")
#Consumes({"application/json"})
#Produces({"application/json"})
public interface SurveyParticipationApi {
#GET
#Path("appParameters")
Map<String,String> getAppParameters();
....
}
With CXF 2.7.x use
WebClient.postCollection(Object collection, Class<T> memberClass, Class<T> responseClass)
,like this in your rest client code.
(Map<String, Region>) client.postCollection(regionCodes, String.class,Map.class);
for other collections use WebClient.postAndGetCollection().
I have a dependency with parameters constructor. When I call the action more than 1x, it show this error:
Error activating IValidationPurchaseService
More than one matching bindings are available.
Activation path:
1) Request for IValidationPurchaseService
Suggestions:
1) Ensure that you have defined a binding for IValidationPurchaseService only once.
public ActionResult Detalhes(string regionUrl, string discountUrl, DetalhesModel detalhesModel)
{
var validationPurchaseDTO = new ValidationPurchaseDTO {...}
KernelFactory.Kernel.Bind<IValidationPurchaseService>().To<ValidationPurchaseService>()
.WithConstructorArgument("validationPurchaseDTO", validationPurchaseDTO)
.WithConstructorArgument("confirmPayment", true);
this.ValidationPurchaseService = KernelFactory.Kernel.Get<IValidationPurchaseService>();
...
}
I'm not sure what are you trying to achieve by the code you cited. The error is raised because you bind the same service more than once, so when you are trying to resolve it it can't choose one (identical) binding over another. This is not how DI Container is supposed to be operated. In your example you are not getting advantage of your DI at all. You can replace your code:
KernelFactory.Kernel.Bind<IValidationPurchaseService>().To<ValidationPurchaseService>()
.WithConstructorArgument("validationPurchaseDTO", validationPurchaseDTO)
.WithConstructorArgument("confirmPayment", true);
this.ValidationPurchaseService = KernelFactory.Kernel.Get<IValidationPurchaseService>();
With this:
this.ValidationPurchaseService = new ValidationPurchaseService(validationPurchaseDTO:validationPurchaseDTO, confirmPayment:true)
If you could explain what you are trying to achieve by using ninject in this scenario the community will be able to assist further.
Your KernelFactory probably returns the same kernel (singleton) on each successive call to the controller. Which is why you add a similar binding every time you hit the URL that activates this controller. So it probably works the first time and starts failing after the second time.
We have a situation where we have multiple databases with identical schema, but different data in each. We're creating a single session factory to handle this.
The problem is that we don't know which database we'll connect to until runtime, when we can provide that. But on startup to get the factory build, we need to connect to a database with that schema. We currently do this by creating the schema in an known location and using that, but we'd like to remove that requirement.
I haven't been able to find a way to create the session factory without specifying a connection. We don't expect to be able to use the OpenSession method with no parameters, and that's ok.
Any ideas?
Thanks
Andy
Either implement your own IConnectionProvider or pass your own connection to ISessionFactory.OpenSession(IDbConnection) (but read the method's comments about connection tracking)
The solution we came up with was to create a class which manages this for us. The class can use some information in the method call to do some routing logic to figure out where the database is, and then call OpenSession passing the connection string.
You could also use the great NuGet package from brady gaster for this. I made my own implementation from his NHQS package and it works very well.
You can find it here:

good luck!
Came across this and thought Id add my solution for future readers which is basically what Mauricio Scheffer has suggested which encapsulates the 'switching' of CS and provides single point of management (I like this better than having to pass into each session call, less to 'miss' and go wrong).
I obtain the connecitonstring during authentication of the client and set on the context then, using the following IConnectinProvider implementation, set that value for the CS whenever a session is opened:
/// <summary>
/// Provides ability to switch connection strings of an NHibernate Session Factory (use same factory for multiple, dynamically specified, database connections)
/// </summary>
public class DynamicDriverConnectionProvider : DriverConnectionProvider, IConnectionProvider
{
protected override string ConnectionString
{
get
{
var cxnObj = IsWebContext ?
HttpContext.Current.Items["RequestConnectionString"]:
System.Runtime.Remoting.Messaging.CallContext.GetData("RequestConnectionString");
if (cxnObj != null)
return cxnObj.ToString();
//catch on app startup when there is not request connection string yet set
return base.ConnectionString;
}
}
private static bool IsWebContext
{
get { return (HttpContext.Current != null); }
}
}
Then wire it in during NHConfig:
var configuration = Fluently.Configure()
.Database(MsSqlConfiguration.MsSql2005
.Provider<DynamicDriverConnectionProvider>() //Like so
