Questions & Answers

I want to use a script or workflow in the FirstSpirit 5 webedit which can access the current store element

The logic itself should be implemented in Java as a Executable. In the Manual (Plug-In Development / WebClient Extensions / Management Extensions / Workflow Executables / Code Example) there is an example, how to access the context and get the store element with "final StoreElement elementInWorkflow = scriptContext.getStoreElement();" but this doesn't work with scripts or workspaces which are in the actions menu. This seems to work only for the "special" deletion workflow.

So how can i access the current store element?

Hello,

I'm not sure, if the following is the answer to your question... You want to start a workflow inside the WebClient and this workflow uses a script, which references a Executable? Inside the Executable you need the current object on which the workflow was startet?

I tested this with a very short example.

My workflow looks like this:

My script "communitytest" contains two lines:

#!executable-class
com.espirit.moddev.community.test.CommunityTestExecutable

and my Executable has the following code:

package com.espirit.moddev.community.test;
import de.espirit.firstspirit.access.script.Executable;
import de.espirit.firstspirit.access.script.ExecutionException;
import de.espirit.firstspirit.access.store.StoreElement;
import de.espirit.firstspirit.access.store.templatestore.WorkflowScriptContext;
import de.espirit.firstspirit.ui.operations.RequestOperation;
import de.espirit.firstspirit.agency.OperationAgent;
import java.io.Writer;
import java.util.Map;
/*
 * Example of a simple executable class
 * 
 * Script:
 * #!executable-class
 * com.espirit.moddev.community.test.CommunityTestExecutable
*/
public class CommunityTestExecutable implements Executable {
    public static final Class<?> LOGGER = CommunityTestExecutable.class;
    public Object execute(Map<String, Object> params) throws ExecutionException {
        final WorkflowScriptContext wsc = (WorkflowScriptContext) params.get("context");
       StoreElement storeElement = wsc.getStoreElement();
        //show a dialog
        OperationAgent operationAgent = wsc.requireSpecialist(OperationAgent.TYPE);
        //show the data of the current object inside a diaolog
        RequestOperation requestOperation = operationAgent.getOperation(RequestOperation.TYPE);
        requestOperation.setKind(RequestOperation.Kind.INFO);
        requestOperation.setTitle("current Object");
        requestOperation.perform("current Object: " + storeElement);
        return true;
    }
    public Object execute(Map<String, Object> context, Writer out, Writer err) throws ExecutionException {
        return execute(context);
    }
}

Starting the workflow inside the WebClient at the homepage of the Mithras-project shows me this dialog:
