    You can extend com.documentum.bpm.rtutil.WorkflowMethod and implement method doTask as follows :

    import java.io.PrintWriter;

    import com.documentum.bpm.IDfWorkitemEx;

    import com.documentum.bpm.rtutil.WorkflowMethod;

    import com.documentum.fc.client.IDfWorkitem;

    import com.documentum.fc.common.IDfProperties;

    public class MyWorkflowMethod extends WorkflowMethod {

    public int doTask(IDfWorkitem workItem, IDfProperties properties,
    PrintWriter writer) throws Exception {

    	IDfWorkitemEx workitemEx = (IDfWorkitemEx) workitem;
        // Do what you have to do
        return 0;

    }

    You will need the BPM jars which are installed with process engine (bpm webapp), e.g. bpmrt.jar and bpmutil.jar. Sorry for the formatting but I don't know how to paste code in this forum.

    You can deploy it as a BOF module, but that requires that you build it with Documentum Composer and deploy it as a DAR file. Alternatively, you can deploy your jar file to the Java Method Server (personnally I recommend putting it into $DOCUMENTUM/dba/java_methods folder). You can create the method via iapi : you can use the method dm_noop_auto_method_java as a template. Make sure that a_special_app is set to 'Workflow' if you want to use it within a workflow.
