6.7.1 Wf URLExternalTask documentation errors

Bill Klish

TeamSite 6.7.1

In the ts.670.wf.pdf manual, on page 37, step 4. the location of the Java class is listed incorrectly. Any custom Java code should be placed in:

iw-home/local/config/lib/content_center/customer_src/src

They forgot to add the src on the directory path.

When specifying the command element of the external task, their example is invalid XML. It should read similar to:
[html]

[/html]

Hi ,
Thanks for this information.

I am using URLExternalTask and able to run the example.
But my workflow is getting stuck when i change the code to implement sending mail through java.

I am able to compile it using make_toolkit.ipl. The workflow hangs at at the Session class of javax.mail API.
1. How and Where can i see some logs ?
2. Is there any way to find and set the classpath used at the runtime by TS ?
i tried to get classpath using getProperties but PrintStream doesn't seem to work as well.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I would star by looking in iw-home/local/logs/iwui/servlet_out.log (or servletd.log). Most of the logging goes through there by default.

Is this a custom URL task that you wrote, or are you using Interwoven's examples?

MAK: have you implemented a neat call back mechanism, if your mailer program encounters any error before it can make the callback to TS the job will 'halt' or 'hang'. If you can enable debug="true" in the workflow config in Administration you can get more info about your WF instantiation params.

Please refer the WF developer guide page 192.

Thanks for this, yes this is the custome URL task and as i had thought, the java class was not getting the required jars at the runtime as tomcat does not use the System variables for classpath.

This is working fine now. thanks for your help.

Thank you for this, but there is no problem with the callback.

This is working fine now. thanks for your help.

HELP Again .. !! Please

Cannot get the param values, sorry but new to JAVA Smiley Sad

My command in wft:
"http://localhost/iw-cc/urlexternaltask?param1=val1&param2=val2"

To get the params in my java class:
for (Enumeration e = hash.keys(); e.hasMoreElements() Smiley Wink

{
out.println (hash.get(e.nextElement()));
}

and it returns me this:
[Ljava.lang.String;@1a3f178
[Ljava.lang.String;@4218cb
[Ljava.lang.String;@169c6f2
[Ljava.lang.String;@1843ca4
[Ljava.lang.String;@a96606
[Ljava.lang.String;@16954e1
[Ljava.lang.String;@4391f0

Can you please tell me what could be wrong, how can i access params in my java external task.

Bill Klish

Something like what I have below should do the trick:


String value1 = (String) hash.get("param1");

I have a similar problem what did you do to fix your issue.

I have a similar problem what did you do to fix your issue.

In my case, i was not getting the jars at the runtime. So i put the jar files in the tomcat's lib directory. "If i remember correctly."
