Toby,
If I read your question correctly, you are asking about what creates the
object...
On a <cfa_workflowinstancecreate> call, Spectra goes ahead and creates an
instance of the artifact (the type assigned to the workflow) through the
standard <cfa_contentObjectCreate> tag. After that, a <cfa_workflowexecute>
can be used to go ahead and let the owner of the first task to do its job.
This is generally fired by the <cfa_taskExecute> tag, which in turn calls
the method (through <cfa_contentObject>) against the objected created by
<cfa_workflowinstancecreate>.
If you have a specific create/initialization sequence you need done,
overload the default create method.
When creating your methods, treat them like any other method you would
create. There are some differences in data passed and what you can do with
workflow specific tasks, but I will leave that to a different time...

Hi,
When a workflow task has a method, which invoker does it use to run =
that? The first task of my workflow needs to launch a plp which is used =
to create an article. The plp is usually called from the edit method of =
the object...=20
my own invoker actually does a check and if necessary creates the =
required object and calls the edit method on that object. I'm not quite =
sure how to get the workflow task to do this...
I have the edit handler, which calls the plp using the object id =
assigned to it...
I have an initiate handler which kicks of the workflow using =
workflowinstacecreate and workflow execute and taskexecute etc etc...
What I was hoping would happen, is that i could put the create method in =
the method field for the task and it would run that, meaning my invoker =
would use the create process then subsequently call the edit handler and =
all would be peachy...
but it isn't working that way. So hence my question(s) - what invoker =
does the workflow use - and can anyone suggest how I might get this to =
work?
Thanks muchly
Toby
