All,

I see what I was doing wrong. I didn't understand that calling Participant#by_xxxx actually removed the workitem from the context and that I needed to grab it. Now that I'm doing that, I have other, simpler problems that have nothing to do with ruote.

FWIW, a more explicit StorageParticipant example might be appropriate.

All,

Here's the definition for my first workflow:

  @pdef = Ruote.process_definition :name => 'test_workflow' do
      cursor do
        participant 'koached'
        participant 'rules_engine'
        participant '${to}'
        '${message}' == 'STOP' ? _break : rewind
      end
    end

and the definition of my participants:

    #Register the rules_engine
@engine.register_participant 'rules_engine', Rufus::Decision::Participant,
      :table => %{
in:message,out:message
,"Here's a random number between 1 and 15: #{rand(15)}"
      }

#Register the participants as participants who store their workitems in the same storage as the engine @participants = @engine.register_participant '.+', Ruote::StorageParticipant

After launch, I print out the workitem, it's participant (destined for), and the process status of my workflow instance, which are as follows:

Workitem: {"from"=>"koached", "to"=>"[email protected]", "dispatched_at"=>"2010-05-26 19:32:38.461265 UTC", "params"=>{"koached"=>nil}, "message"=>"Welcome to Koached, [email protected]!!!"}

Destined for: koached

== Ruote::ProcessStatus ==
   expressions : 3
0!!20100526-bijejejada : #<Ruote::Exp::SequenceExpression:0x104eb9fb0> 0_0!!20100526-bijejejada : #<Ruote::Exp::CursorExpression:0x104eb6658> 0_0_0!!20100526-bijejejada : #<Ruote::Exp::ParticipantExpression:0x104eb0de8>
   errors : 0

I was under the impression that when I launched my workflow that the first participant would immediately get the workitem, but that doesn't seem to be the case. Do I need to call "consume" or "fetch" to get the workitem to belong to 'koached'?

Thanks,
Wes
