Creation an ADF Task Flow Based on a Human Task

Hello!
While creating ADF Task Flow Based on a Human Task, I can't bind New TaskFlow to task, which I choose in Dialog.
Details:
I Have:
BPM Project with PackageCreation.task
ADF Project in Same Application
I do:
1. in Application Navigator right click on ADF Project -> New -> Web Tier -> JSF -> ADF Task Flow Based on a Human Task
in creation Dialog I choose PackageCreation.task and Don't change name of New TaskFlow (automatically JDeveloper set this name to PackageCreation_TaskFlow)
I have After that:
new ADF Task Flow and my old PackageCreation.task.
Question:
Why my Task don't bind to created ADF task Flow based on it?
I think, that while creating ADF Task Flow Based on a Human Task it has to change my task, writing some thing like This (inside xml):
<taskFlowFileLocation>file:/D:/JDeveloper/mywork/SalesQuoteLab/EnterQuoteUILab/public_html/WEB-INF/EnterQuoteDetails_TaskFlow.xml</taskFlowFileLocation>
That xml element is creating in xml of *.task, while making auto-generation form for human task in BPM Project.

Juan C,
I use JDeveloper 11g Release 1.
May be I didn't explained my question correctly.
taskdetails1 is creating, and in Data Controls I have objects of my BPM Human Task Payload.
But in that file "PackageCreation.task" in source I can't find any link to instantly created TaskFlow.xml in my UI project.
So, I have
NEW project "PackageCreationUI" with PackageCreation_TaskFlow.xml in it (and TaskDetails1 file too).
AND Did't Changed PackageCreation.task in BPM Project.
If I use *"BPM form creation wizard"*, after creating project and TaskFlow in it I see Changes in PackageCreation.task in BPM Project, something like that:
<taskFlowFileLocation>file:/C:/JDeveloper/mywork/testApp/PackageCreationUI/public_html/WEB-INF/PackageCreation_TaskFlow.xml</taskFlowFileLocation>

Why : Data Control entry not expandable/empty - ADF Task flow based on HT.

Hi All,
I've hoping to create an ADF Task flow based on a human task. I have a stand alone ADF application within the ViewController of which I am attempting to create this task flow. The resultant data control entry doesn't seem to be expandable.
Questions
1. When creating an ADF Taskflow based on a human task, should it always be within a project in the same application as the SOA components?
2. If no, is the resultant human task data control empty or not expandable because the xsd for the HT is based on the MDS? I have configured all the MDS connections within my application.
JDev : 11.1.1.4
Thanks

Hi,
Answers :-
1. No, it is not necessary that your ADF Taskflow based on Human Task should be in the same application where the SOA Project Resides. But for the deployment of that ADF Taskflow you will need the SOA Project.You can add that project whenever you want to deploy.
2. It might be the cause due to the MDS Configuration .
Do one thing , while creating the ADF Taskflow based on Human Task , you do select the .task file via the file system not from the MDS.
If you will select the .Task file of your soa project then it will ask you to name the Taskflow, just name the taskflow as you want and say ok.
After creating the taskflow, it will add a lot of xml files in your project and it will create a data control of it.
Hope it helps!!

Update an ADF Task Flow based on Human Task

Hello friends,
I'm working on Oracle BPM Suite 11g. So, I created a process including its human tasks. Later, I created a Task Flow based in the human task that I setup before. Now I added a new parameter to the human task and I need to update the task flow because (of course) it only contains the payload of the previous configuration.
Can I do that? What can be the solution?
Regards....
AYVR

It's covered in docs here: http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E17904_01/integration.1111/e10224/bp_designtf.htm#BDCDFBCB
Note that this only updates the control. You'll have to now drag those new payload properties onto the form. If you had removed any properties you'd need to remove those from the form.
You should also do a refresh of the window that contains the data controls. Sometimes that's necessary to see the changes.

ADF Task Flow based on HumanTask - Region withiin Task form

Hello All,
Was wondering if anybody here has sucessfully used region in their human task forms? I really like the idea of regions and after going through the tutorial here* I tired to implement it.
Following are some additional details of the issue I'm facing.
I have created a UI project based on a human task. The main <human task>_taskFlow.xml is bounded and non-fragmented. I then dropped 'view' component within this task flow and create a blank jspx page underneath. I then dragged and droped another bounded and fragmented task flow (which is also a train) on to this jspx page. The 2nd task flow has some jsff pages in a train. When I deploy run this bpm project,I can't see train form within the region and I get following Null Pointer Exception on the server:
java.lang.NullPointerException
     at oracle.adfinternal.view.faces.renderkit.rich.FormRenderer.encodeAll(FormRenderer.java:233)
     at oracle.adf.view.rich.render.RichRenderer.encodeAll(RichRenderer.java:1396)
     at org.apache.myfaces.trinidad.render.CoreRenderer.encodeEnd(CoreRenderer.java:335)
     at org.apache.myfaces.trinidad.component.UIXComponentBase.encodeEnd(UIXComponentBase.java:767)
     at javax.faces.component.UIComponent.encodeAll(UIComponent.java:937)
Any help would be much appreciated.

Update: After struggling with it almost whole day, I recreated the UI project and the problem has gone away.

How to create Discussions Task Flow Based on Oracle Content Server

Hi,
I need to create an ADF application consisting of the following aspects:
1) Upload, Download and Share documents (I'm using Documents Services provided by WebCenter Jdeveloper Extensions)
2) Create discussion threads and forums (I'm trying to use Discussion Services provided by WebCenter Jdeveloper Extensions)
3) User should be able to do an universal search i.e search both documents and discussions forums. (I'm using Search Services provided by WebCenter Jdeveloper Extensions)
I'm using "Oracle Content Server 10g for WebCenter" to manage my documents and discussions. While logging into GUI of OCS, I'm able to create and post discussion threads.
But, I'm unable to create discussions adf task flow based on Oracle Content Server.
The demos/tutorials/dev guides provided at http://webcenter.oracle.com have only described using WLS_Services managed server which is created and setup using WC Suite 11g.
But I couldn't find any information to develop these discussion services using Jdeveloper WebCenter Extensions and Oracle Content Server.
Please let me know, if anyone has tried this or if you have any idea of how to go about it.
Thanks in Advance,
Harikiran.

Hi.
You have official documentation introducing ADF Task Flows here: http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E23943_01/web.1111/b31974/taskflows.htm
And you have next step by step tutorials to learn how to implement Task Flows:

Task Flow based on Human Task

Hi,
I have created a Task Flow based on Human Task in the Ui project. The task flow is auto -generated with the taskdetails.jspx as the default activity. If I try to include a ExceuteWithParams method in the task flow as the default activity the page gives a 500 Error in the workliist application.
Can I no have a method activity as the default activity in this task flow.
Thanks
Soumya

Are you trying to set "Create with parameters" as default task flow activity ? in that case open the the task flow diagram , right click "Create with parameters" data control -> Mark Activity -> Default Activity.

JAVA API of Oracle BPEL, to access the "Task Form"(JSP) of a human task.

Hi,
Are there any JAVA API of Oracle BPEL, to access the "Task Form"(JSP) of a human task, to render the task form inside the custom worklist application.
Thanks,
Naga

I guess you mean accessing the task details and the payload from the java API.
Refer the below blog it will provide you the details

Possible to use menuBar with task flow based ADF menus?

Hello -
I've just worked through the " [Create ADF Menus for Page Navigation|http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/jdev/11/cuecards111/adf_set_43/ccset43_ALL.html] " tutorial. It shows how to create menus based on your task flows.
My question: is it possible to use the af:menuBar with these menu models (instead of navigationPanes or breadcrumbs) ?
I am using JDev 11g 11.1.1.1.0
Thanks.
Edited by: scott.turnquist on Nov 5, 2009 12:07 PM

Hi,
The XML menu model extends the Trinidad TreeModel, which extends Collection model. This allows you to access the hierarchical menu structure so that you can use af:iterator to build a structure to display in a af:menuBar

ADF forms based on BPM human tasks - Invoking webservices/view objects.

Hi All,
Is anyone aware of whether the following is a valid implementation that has been carried out before.
1. ADF forms based on BPM 11G human tasks.
2.The ADF forms invoke webservices via Webservice data controls. It is pertinent to note that the webservice bring back complex data types. We've tried writing a few forms, resulting in data benig brought back, but not being able to print them to the screen.
3. The ADF forms also use View Object based on sql to bring back tables of data. If view objects are embedded within the forms, the applciation gives rise to a null pointer exception.
Considering the form will be invoked via a BPM worklist entry, is there a setting or configuration we should consider before hand. Is this feasible, is there knowledge of this being done commercially.
Any examples or information regarding the same will be immensely helpful.
Thanks and Regards,
Preethi.
NB : I have posted this in the BPM forum as well as I feel it is relevant to both BPM and ADF.

Hi Joonas.
Plese let me explain me better for your understanding
A big summary for what I meant it's the following:
1- In the procces you made, when you add the HT activity, you have to implement it, this means declare the input(s) parameters you want. This implementation create the .task file.
2- Create an application, and projects as HT you have. Each poject are based on the .task file, and automatically create a Data Control (for each project based on a .task) with all you need.
This w'll be an empty application, so you can customize it all you want. The task selected should have all the parameters previously defined. Those parameters can change if you want.
2- Create a page(s) in the task flow for the task implementation. You can even split the the payload of the task in differents pages, create your custom pages and any logic you need.
3- An important aspect is how to match these application with the HT implemented in the process. It's possible, it's a configuration en the Enterprise Manager.
4- Deploy your application
All these are explain in the book I mentioned
Th book you can find it here:

PS: Please, let me know if you need more details.

Task Flow Based On Input Parameter

I am using JDev 11.1.1.6.
I have an app that uses a Task Flow with "ExecuteWithParams" to get the parameter from a URL and display the appropriate records on a page.
I do this by using a Bind Variable on the VO that corresponds to the InputParameter on the ExecuteWithParams control.
What I would like to do is flow to a different page, depending on the parameter used in the URL.
Example:
If param in URL is "?TEAM=1" then I would go to the TEAM page and display records for TEAM 1.
If param in URL is "?REGION=3" then I would go to the REGION page and display records for REGION 3.
Thanks,
Ray

This could probably be solved using a router activity or a custom method as the default activity in the Task Flow. Then outcome of the router/method, can easily route to the desired TF activity based on an input parameter. E.g. if parameter is "region" route to executeRegionIteratorWithParams, which in turn will "flow" to displayRegions view activity.

Two pages reuse a task flow -------how to reinitialize the task flow?

Hi, i get a question.
In general:
In the navigation menu i have two commandlink that are "Service" and "Application". And when i click on each of the two command links, i go to a page.
The detail:
This two commandlinks use a same task flow-----that is : <af:commandNavigationItem...... definition of this two link' action attributes are just the same.
What's more, the pages that i go to when i click on the link also use the same one, just show something different bansed on the paramaters when alick on the link. The parameters are defined in the <af:commandNavigationItem...... using <af:setPropertyListener..
And the question is:
when i click on the "Service" link and see the "Add service" page and then click "Application" it's still the "Add service" page, and otherwise is the same. i just can not jump freely through this tow link.
I have debuged the code and find that, once i click "Service" link then i click "Application" link, the task flow won't reinitialize.
Any one has some solutions?
Thanks in advance.

Reading the official doc will help.

Call a bounded task flow from within another bounded task flow

Hello
I am using Jdev 11g Release 1 and need help with the following issue...
Here's an outline of my application..:
1. There is a main .jspx page with icons to choose different paths.
2. Each icon denotes a bounded task flow with TRAIN.
3. Upon clicking on any icon, you get into a series of TRAIN STOPS.
4. On one of the TRAIN STOP there is a button to ADD NEW which shows a popup that is tied to another bounded task flow with TRAIN STOPS.
5. This taskflow 2 calls a method as its default activity.
The issue is when I click on ADD NEW, the popup displays empty. I even put break points on the method and it doesn't even go to the method. The input parameters on the method have been checked so I know that is not an issue. Any clues as to why it won't open the popup..?
Any help will be greatly appreciated.

and also check if the DataBindings.cpx has the correct reference of the method definiiton file..Did this..all references point correctly
or otherwise can u drag and drop the method again on to the taskflow and try.. if this time it had created all entries correctly.?Tried it ...doesn't work =(

Flow, 2 branches, 2 Human Tasks

I have a flow with two branches, each contains a Human Task.
Two questions.
1) Is there a way to complete the flow and continue the process as soon as the first Task (not both, just one) complete? I mean, without waiting for the second to complete.
2) Once the first Task is completed, the other one should be automatically closed, without human intervention. How can i achieve this in the process? I tried to invoke the Task Service but the "taskId" property of the Task is not set. How can I do?
Thanks,
Simone

I have a somewhat similar situation here :-
I have 2 Human Tasks in parallel flow.
Before it reaches the parallel flow, there are another 2 Human Tasks one after another.
In the initial Human Tasks, I can see all the file attachments along with its content, Mime-Type & Name.
But when the process reaches any of the 2 Human Tasks in parallel, the contents of the file attachments are not visible.
The reason being, when the process flow reaches one of the 2 Human Tasks in parallel, I have unchecked the Include Task History check-box in the Advanced tab of the 2 Human Tasks which are in parallel flow, as a result
2 new tasks are created for them.
After observing WFATTACHMENT table of ORABPEL schema, I came to know
that new file attachment records are created for these 2 new tasks.
The Name & the Mime-Type of the file are seen properly in the Task List JSP Page, only the contents of this New Task file attachments are not visible.
Have anybody faced such similar kind of situation ?
Please do help Geeks.

Intiate Human Task returns complete without any human task intervetion

I created a simple BPEL flow with a Human Task element and I also tried some of the demo flows. When I initiate the task it immediately returns as COMPLETE. Irrespective of who I make the owner or approver for the task is. bpeladmin seems to be the one responding and marking the task as complete. Is there some configuration I am missing.
My JDeveloper is 10.1.3.1.0
BPEL 10.3.1.0
Has anybody encountered this problem?
Your help will be much appreciated.

Happy days. Glad I found this, been banging my head against the wall building a worklist demo - if in the human task definition you don't put anything under "Assignment and routing policy" then you'll get exactly this happen to you - the process will complete immediately, with no trace in the worklist application and no error that I can see.
I think an error, or at least a warning, should be kicked out in this scenario - be warned - it isn't !

Complete Task with Payload Problem -- no Human Task Drop Handler

I'm reading section 26.4.1 of Developer’s Guide for Oracle SOA Suite 11g Release 1 (11.1.1) E10224-01 where it refers to figure 26-5 Human Task Drop Handler for Creating the Task Display Form of section 26.4 Creating a Task Display Form.
I've generated taskDetails1.jspx. I highlight Task as in the figure and right click in askDetails1.jspx (design tab) but I don't get a Create JSF page dialog as in the figure.
I get a dialog with Insert Before Show Detail Spacer ... etc (no Create /Human Task/Complete Task with payload etc)
Do I need to position within a particular element ? or is this a bug ? wrongly documented?

Hi Diana, thanks for your reply.
You're probably right about 2 different error messages.
To the 1st one: I'm sure that status task is Assigned (to me). I received an email and I also reply on that email.
To error log: I found out that error log appears when I enable email endpoint on Complete Task service. But I managed to solve this problem. I set wrong user. Now I have here the same user as is written in login-config.xml so log seems to be ok.
So I created new task and tried to complete it via email. Now I receive email with another error:
LiveCycle ES has tried to process your request and encountered the following error:
com.adobe.idp.dsc.provider.service.email.impl.EmailProviderException: Error getting user context
This response to your original email
Subject:RE:Task Assignment - Process: WorkFlowClient/Test. Task 92 has been assigned to you.
Date Sent:Thursday, October 27, 2011 3:05 PM
Body:Complete
DO-NOT-DELETE: MTIxMSExNjAzITIwMTE=!
Attachments:
And to the last point: email endpoint is set up with TestPOP3@mydomain and user receiving email has jpetrla@mydomain. I use Lotus Notes as email client, I tried another account with gmail, but the result was same.
Now I really don't know to do...
