Querying the workflow Engine

Does anyone know how to write a workflow query for this

CSWorkflow[] getWorkflowsByQuery(java.lang.String workflowQuery)
Return the details of workflows (jobs) that satisfy a query.

what query are they talking about.

I am trying to create an interface to display all the present active workflows, that will be accessible through a link to a jsp on ccstd. I am going to use cssdk for it.

Thanks

Just a guess, but maybe the string needs to be of the same format as what the iwqueryjobs clt takes? Here's the DTD from the 6.1 Windows CLT reference:

I used something like this but this didnt work.

<%@ page import="com.interwoven.cssdk.workflow.*" %>

String wfQuery = "<\?xml version='1.0' encoding='UTF-8' standalone='yes' \?>";
CSWorkflow[] workflows = CSWorkflowEngine.getWorkflowsByQuery(wfQuery);

<\%
for(int i=0; i \%>Workflow Id : <\%= workflows.getId() \%>
<\%
}

\%>

Please ignore the escapes as it was parsing my code.

Doesnt complain but doesnt even show anything. If that code is present, even if i just modify an HTML code I dont see those changes. but if I remove that code i can see my HTML.

Please suggest.

Thanks

According to the docs that I have, getWorlfowsByQuery is not a static method of CSWorkflowEngine. You need to get an instance of a CSWorkflowEngine object, most likely by using the getWorkflowEngine method of a CSClient object.

Just so folks can actually see what you tried ... - minus the escapes:

<%@ page import="com.interwoven.cssdk.workflow.*" %>

    String wfQuery = "<?xml version='1.0' encoding='UTF-8' standalone='yes' ?><wfquery><active/></wfquery>";
    CSWorkflow[] workflows = CSWorkflowEngine.getWorkflowsByQuery(wfQuery); 

<%
    for(int i=0; i<workflows.length; ++i){
        %>Workflow Id : <%= workflows.getId() %><br><%
    }

%>

I'm not sure - but I think the XML header has to be on a distinct line from the XML code - so perhaps if you change wfQuery to:

"<?xml version='1.0' encoding='UTF-8' standalone='yes'?>\n<wfquery><active/></wfquery>";

it might work? I'm not even sure you need the XML header - you might be able to just send the xml snippet:

"<wfquery><active/></wfquery>";

by itself.

Thanks it worked.

I used the csclient object to get the CSWorkflowEngine object and then used its methods.

Sorry I didn't get to this sooner. The workflow and task query xml syntax is a pain to use. We retrieve the workflow objects from the workflow engine and then iterate through them to process what we need.

It could be useful, but we haven't used it.
