CGI task using JSP

vini_mysuru

Hello,

I want to create a CGI task using JSP. I found in the exising workflows, there is one WebTask.do which does a lot of things. It takes 'TaskBeanId' as a parameter. But I am not able to figure out the options availble with WebTask.do. 

I want to write my own JSP/Servlet. My questions:

1. How to pass the context of Workflow Job to the Servlet/JSP?

2. How does the Servlet pass control to next task in the workflow?

 

Any pointers to documentation/examples of Java CGI tasks will be of great help.

 

Thanks for your time and help,

Vinay

I have seen the answers to your question in previous forums here .

 

Here are some suggestions , 

1)  How to pass the context of Workflow Job to the Servlet/JSP?

 

<form ACTION="paul.jsp" method="post" id="cgiCustomForm">

<%

public static CSClient getClient(HttpServletRequest request){
CSClient client = (CSClient)request.getAttribute("iw.csclient");
return client;
}

CSTask task;
CSClient client = getClient(request);

%>

 

2. How does the Servlet pass control to next task in the workflow?

 

<input type="hidden" name="taskid" value='<%=request.getParameter("taskid")%>'/>
<input type="hidden" name="transition" value="Flow12"/>
<input type="submit" value="Transition" onclick="callTransion()">

<script type="text/javascript" >
function callTransion()
{
document.getElementById("cgiCustomForm").action = "/iw-cc/transitiontask"
}
</script>
