Initiate Workflow programatically
---------------------------------
Key: MGNLWORKFLOW-17
URL: http://jira.magnolia-cms.com/browse/MGNLWORKFLOW-17
Project: Magnolia Workflow Module
Issue Type: Support Request
Components: OpenWFE
Affects Versions: 1.0
Environment: Windows 7 with Magnolia 4.5.3 using Mysql as the DB
Reporter: SenthilNathan
Assignee: Jozef Chocholacek
Priority: Critical
We are trying to initiate a worklfow programatically and we have configured a
workflow.xml in such a way that once a worklfow is initiate it will
automatically publish the item without waiting in the inbox.
Please find the xml configuration below
<process-definition name="publish" revision="j0.0.2"> <sequence> <set
field="activator" field-value="userName"/> <!-- if the last action was proceed:
activate--> <activate/> </sequence> <process-definition name="activate">
<sequence> <!-- wait if scheduled --> <if> <defined field-value="startDate"/>
<sleep until="${f:startDate}"/> </if> <!-- activate --> <participant
ref="command-activate"/> <if> <defined field-value="exception"/> <!-- restart
again --> <activation/> <break/> </if> <!-- deactivate (if scheduled)--> <if>
<defined field-value="endDate"/> <sequence> <sleep until="${f:endDate}"/>
<participant ref="command-deactivate"/> </sequence> </if> </sequence>
</process-definition> </process-definition>
We are trying to launchItem using the code shown below
public static void launchFlow(LaunchItem li, String flowName,
boolean isAsync) throws FlowDefinitionException {
try {
FlowDefinitionManager configurator = WorkflowModule
.getFlowDefinitionManager();
configurator.configure(li, flowName);
launchFlow(li, isAsync);
} catch (Exception e) {
LOGGER.error("Launching flow failed in public launchFlow() : ", e);
}
}
The problem here is sometimes the child node is getting published before the
parent node and hence we are getting some exception because of this.Is there a
way using which I can handle this issue either programatically or using the
worklfow config.xml
