Method Detail

setNodeService

public void setNodeService(org.alfresco.service.cmr.repository.NodeService nodeService)

setNamespaceService

public void setNamespaceService(org.alfresco.service.namespace.NamespaceService namespaceService)

setDictionaryService

public void setDictionaryService(org.alfresco.service.cmr.dictionary.DictionaryService dictionaryService)

getQNameConverter

protected WorkflowQNameConverter getQNameConverter()

getTaskVariables

public List<TaskVariable> getTaskVariables(Map<String,Object> localVariables,
                                           Map<String,Object> globalVariables,
                                           org.alfresco.service.cmr.dictionary.TypeDefinition startFormTypeDefinition,
                                           org.alfresco.service.cmr.dictionary.TypeDefinition taskTypeDefinition)

Parameters:

localVariables - raw local task variables, can be null.

globalVariables - raw global taks variables, can be null.

startFormTypeDefinition - TypeDefinition

taskTypeDefinition - the typê definition for this task, used to extract types.

Returns:

list of TaskVariable, representing the given raw variables

getVariables

public List<Variable> getVariables(Map<String,Object> variables,
                                   org.alfresco.service.cmr.dictionary.TypeDefinition typeDefinition)

Parameters:

variables - raw variables

typeDefinition - the typê definition for the start-task of the process, used to extract types.

Returns:

list of Variable, representing the given raw variables

addTaskVariables

public void addTaskVariables(List<TaskVariable> result,
                             Map<String,Object> variables,
                             TypeDefinitionContext context,
                             VariableScope scope)

Converts the raw variables to TaskVariables and adds them to the given result-list.

setVariableValueAndType

protected void setVariableValueAndType(Variable variable,
                                       Object value,
                                       TypeDefinitionContext context)

Sets the variable value with possible conversion to the correct format to be used in the response and sets the type accordingly. If the variables is defined on the TypeDefinition, the data-type is used. If it's not defined, the type is deducted from the raw variable value.

getAssociationRepresentation

protected Object getAssociationRepresentation(Object value,
                                              org.alfresco.service.cmr.dictionary.AssociationDefinition assocDef)

Returns:

object that represents the association value.

getSafePropertyValue

protected Object getSafePropertyValue(Object value)

getRepresentationForNodeRef

protected String getRepresentationForNodeRef(Object value,
                                             org.alfresco.service.cmr.dictionary.ClassDefinition classDefinition)

extractTypeFromValue

public org.alfresco.service.namespace.QName extractTypeFromValue(Object value)

extractTypeStringFromValue

public String extractTypeStringFromValue(Object value)
