ToString() for BPM Objects

Hello,
How does engine create strings out of BPM objects? Is there a "toString()" Java equivalent that gets called when an object instance is used in string concatenation expression?
Thanks,
Nick.

Hi,
we usually use this way to show objects in combo box: BPM object has an id attribute (Integer). We will associate combobox with this id. Open attribute properties if 'id'. Mark 'dynamic method' on valid values. Mark 'method return descriptions' too. You have to create a method thats returns a String[int]. This will contain text displayed on combo box associated to this id. Users will see the text but you get the id of the selected object.

Juan Escot

Multiple constructors for BPM Object

I need to create BPM object which can have more than one (overloaded) constructors.
Somehow I am not able to find out a way to create new constructor for a BPM object in Studio.
I guess if I create a Java class and import it in the project, it may work, but I would prefer to create a BPM object rather than java code so that I can easily modify the code as and when required.
Can someone help?

Hi,
Sorry - there's no way to create multiple constructors for a BPM Object (unless as you mentioned - you create an hier from a Java jar file).

Dependency between projects for presentations, BPM objects and external res

Hi,
I am trying to create a common project for all our exceptions, presentations and external resources...
I have updated the properties of the project1 for dependeny on project2(exceptions project)
but I am not able to see the user exception BPM Objects in the depended project to use...
Project 1 is having all code that needs to call the BPM objects, presentations and external resources on the Project 2
but these objects and presentations etc., are not visible to the project1.
please advice if I need to do anything in relation to configs apart from making the Project 1 properties to dependency --> check box ticked and selecting the Project 2.
thanks
Satya

When you use the project dependency feature, you do not see the BPM Objects in the Catalog. You see them (shown in blue) when you add variables in the process that refer to BPM Objects from the master project. You see them when you create a new attribute in your BPM object that is an BPM Object in the master project. You see them when you use them in logic inside your methods.

Fuego BPM object mapping in PAPI

I am currently using ALBPM 5.7 version. My ALBPM process is using one Fuego BPM Objects as instance variables. I need to access the process via PAPI. What is the equivalent Java object type for typical Fuego BPM objects, per say that has few attributes with String, Time and Int types in order to pass that Fuego Object type from instance arguments.

Hi Avishek,
There is workaround for this...you can save the instance as Object/DynaObj then go for toString() call that will give your biusiness object as XML msg in string format..from there you can extract a xml node value using x-path....i tried this once and worked for me....but i m not getting the code snipetnow ..else i would have pasted here....:(

Regarding BPM Object Retrieval in PAPI API

Hi,
I am using Oracle BPM10gR3 to develop BPM processes. I am having external connectivity of BPM processes with external Java application through PAPI API. I am having a BPM Object defined as "ApplicationObject" under Module which consists of instanceID and activityID. A instance variable is defined of this BPMObject type with Array i.e. insAppObject of type ApplicationObject[]. I have now loaded this instance variable with array length 5.
Now, I need to retrieve BPMObject[] in PAPI API which I am unable to perform. Usually, we do the following to load a BPM Object in PAPI API.
Class c = Class.forName("xobject.Module.BPMObject");
instanceinfo.getData("instanceVariableID");
To Retrieve BPMObject[], I have tried this but no luck.
Class c = Class.forName("[Lxobject.Module.BPMObject;");
Using this class, I am getting "Class Not Found Exception".
Can anyone suggest on the above.
Thanks in advance,
Abhishek

Using a toString from an object in an arraylist

Say I have a class called Fruit that has a field called String name, and a toString that prints out that field.
I have a list of Fruit objects and I want to call the toString for every Fruit object.
public Collection<Fruit> fruitList;
fruitList = new ArrayList<Fruit>();
the following loop does not work:
Iterator i1 = fruitList.Iterator();
while (i1.hasNext())
System.out.println(i1.next().toString());
Edited by: jobocop17 on Sep 25, 2008 11:53 AM

when I do that loop, it prints out the memory location, and not the "name" field from the Fruit class.
output: [Ljava.lang.Object;@234224e

Calling a method in BPM Object from jsp page

hi all,
I try to call a method from BPM Object using <f:invokeUrl >
I change server side method properties to yes.
and then how can i get request and response object inside the BPM method.
Thanks.

Thanks for ur response,
But i mention about BPM method inside BPM Object.
i found this inside the documentation.
methodName(Fuego.Net.HttpRequest request, Fuego.Net.HttpResponse response)
i need to match above BPM method and <f:invokeUrl > tag. am i right?
But i don't know how to create method with argument "Fuego.Net.HttpRequest request, Fuego.Net.HttpResponse response" inside BPM Object.
I can't find any place to define method argument inside Oracle BPM studio.
I don't know how to parse argument like "Fuego.Net.HttpRequest request, Fuego.Net.HttpResponse response"
With Regards,
Wai Phyo

Calling a method in BPM Object from jsf page

Hi All,
How do I call a method in BPM object from JSF page? Is it possible to invoke it in a manner similar to invoking a method from managed bean in JSF application?
Please help.
Thanks and Regards,
Veronica

You can use f:invoke (or f:invokea to with parameters)
For ajax calls, you can use f:invokeUrl to get the URL to a particular method within your BPM object, although make sure the Server-Side Method property is set to Yes.

How to make the fields of BPM object not saved in database.

Is it possible to declare some attributes of BPM object not saved in database.
For example: Order has attribute orderId and date, user (other attributes)... we only want OBPM save orderId. We want the other attributes could be saved and retrieved by external DAO classes.
We still want to use the OOTB presentation from BPM object (not the customer jsp).
Thanks

When you say:
Is it possible to declare some attributes of BPM object not saved in database.do you mean you do not want the information stored in the Oracle BPM Engine's database?
If this is the case, create a BPM Object with just two attributes. One would store your orderId as a primitive data type. The other attribute would be a BPM Object that would store all the other data you are going to retrieve from the external database.
At the beginning of the screenflow, read the database using the orderId attribute and populate the other attribute (the BPM Object). At the end of the screenflow just before it flows to the end activity, you could set the second attribute (again, the BPM Object attribute) to null. This would keep the BPM object with the two attributes from storing anything but the orderId in the Engine's database table for the work item instance.

Is itpossible recover BPM Object instance from Screenflow in Grab Activity?

My process has two roles: role1 and role2.
role2 has an activity of type "Interactive" and the implementation type of this activity is Screenflow, in this Screenflow I have an instance variable of the type BPM Object.
role1 has a Grab Activity from Interactive Activity that describes above, the Grab Activity has a unconditional transition to another Interactive Activity and this Interactive Activity has the same implementation type of the Interactive Activity of the role2 and points to the same Screenflow.
I need to recover the values of the BPM Object that filled in role2, in other words, I need the same instance of the BPM Object in Interactive Acitivity of the role2 in the role1.
If an user filled a field called "name" of BPM Object in the Interactive Activity of the role2, it needs to see that value in the Interactive Activity of the role1 after grabbed this activity of the role2 to role1.
Is it possible?

Hi,
Sure it's just me, but I got a bit lost with the description of what you're trying to do. One place I got lost was in the discussion of roles. Roles are used in Oracle BPM processes for a variety of reasons, but I'm not sure they're germane to your problem so I'm trying to rephrase your question without their use.
Here's my attempt to rephrase what it is that I think you're trying to do:
1. I think you have two activities. I'm naming them "Check Credit" and "Final Check"
2. I'm guessing you have a transition between the two activities "Check Credit" and "Final Check"
3. Your process has an instance variable that is a BPM Object that I'm naming "customer". Since it's a BPM Object type, it has a variety of attributes (e.g. customer.name, customer.address, etc.)
4. You have a Grab activity that has its "Runtime" property set to be "Defined" (meaning you have transitions defined coming into and out of the Grab activity). I think you might have a transition going from the "Final Check" activity to your Grab activity and I think you might have a transition going from the Grab to the "Check Credit" activity.
Does this describe your process? I'm assuming you probably want to have the instance variable revert back to original values of the instance variable object before work was done in one of the activites, but don't want to head too far down this path until you confirm that this is what you want to know.
Thanks,
Dan

Configuration Scenario for BPM Using Integration Scenario

hi All,
I Have an Scenario where i am using BPM. Most of the blog tells about manually creating all Configuration objects. I had created an Integration Scenario for this scenario by referring to the earlier threads available for same.
Hoe to Create Integration Scenario for BPM Scenario
Integration Scenario in BPM and few more.
My IS looks like
Sender App Component - Integration Process - Receiver App Component
Now when i am trying to create Configuration scenario for same using model configurator, i am getting Model as "Not Configurable"
And when i click "Configurability Check" Button, i am getting below as status:
Component view IS_POC_BPM: Connection from receivePayload to getABSPayload does not have an inbound service interface
Component view IS_POC_BPM : Connection from sendABSPayload to getPayload has no outbound interface
getABSPayload and sendABSPayload are actions for Abstract interfaces.
IS_POC_BPM is the Integration Process Name.
Also in Integration Scenario, when i create connection between sender action to BPM action there is no inbound interface coming. And viceversa.
Please help me in identifying if i am doing any thing wrong in creating this scenario.
Is it possible to create Configuration Scenario for BPM Using Integration Scenario?
Thanks,

Edited by: Mayank Gupta on Apr 21, 2010 6:35 AM

I think you shoudl refer the available Integration Scenarios created for BPMs in IR --> SAP BASIS --> http://sap.com/xi/XI/System/Patterns
Sender template will have the Action with Outbound Service Interface and then in the BPM Template the action will have Inbound Interface.....then within the BPM itself this inbound will be mapped to Action with Abstract Interface
may be after looking the Integration scenarios you will get more idea

How to call the BPM objects in the child JSP?

Hi,
We are facing some problem, we are trying to use the JSP for the UI instead of BPM Presentation.
In the JSP we are calling the child JSP(using JSP include), we need to pass the BPM objects from child to parent JSP.
Can any one help me on how to pass the Object between the JSP's and BPM Obejcts.
I will explain in the Example too,
1. We are created the BPM objects with fields
2. Created 2 JSP's 1. Main.JSP 2. Sub.JSP
Now we need to call the sub.jsp into main.jsp,while we calling we need to pass the sub.jsp BPM Object.
Regards,
Anandh P

Hi
When you use <% include page="test.jsp" %> you can use the same object's name in child jsp like in parent file (this is static way to include another file).
Hope this could solve the problem. regards.

Using multiple instance variables or BPM objects in a single JSP

In my screenflow, for an user activity, I've selected a BPM object variable for my JSP and using this BPM object variable within the JSP to display or accept values related to this BPM object.
But in certain circumstances, I need access to some of the instance variables defined in my screenflow (which are not members of the BPM object), and to get these variable values displayed in my JSP. I don't want to overload my BPM object with all these instances as they do not logically fit as members in this BPM object.
For example, if I need to capture and display the logged in user name across the JSPs in my web application, then how can I do that without specifying this user variable in all of my BPM objects.
Is there any extensibility in using more than one BPM object variables in my JSPs? Why is it that a single BPM object variable is tied to a JSP? Or am I missing something else here?

I'm with the same problem!

How to invoke BPM object instance variable from interactive activity?

I have a screenflow with an automatic activity "A" followed by an interactive activity "B". "B" calls a BPM object "X" and uses a JSP presentation to show its attributes. Is there a way to use another BPM object, say type "Y", create an instance variable of that type inside "A", and get its attributes values from the JSP page associated to "B"?
Edited by: user6473912 on 20/07/2010 03:37 PM

Try this. It assumes you have:
<li> a user named "auto"
<li> a project variable named "customerType"
<li> an instance variable named "orderAmount" that is a decimal
<li> an instance variable named "order" that is a BPM Object that has attributes named "customerName" and "amount"
ps as ProcessService
xmlObject as Fuego.Xml.XMLObject
do
connectTo ps
      using url = Fuego.Server.directoryURL,
      user = "auto",
      password = "auto"
instF as InstanceFilter
create(instF, processService : ps)
addAttributeTo(instF, variable : "customerType", comparator : IS, value : "Gold")
instF.searchScope = SearchScope(participantScope : ParticipantScope.ALL, statusScope : StatusScope.ONLY_INPROCESS)
for each inst in getInstancesByFilter(ps, filter : instF) do
    // here's how to get the value inside a primitive instance variable
    orderAmtObj as Object = getVar(inst, var : "orderAmount")
    // here's how to get the value of attributes inside a complex BPM Object instance variable
    //    - in this case this is an "order" object with two attributes (customerName and amount)
    orderObj as Object = (getVar(inst, var : "order"))
    xmlObject = Fuego.Xml.XMLObject(createXmlTextFor(DynamicXml, object : orderObj, topLevelTag : "xsi"))
    logMessage "The value of the order object's customer name is: " +
           selectString(xmlObject, xpath : "customerName")
    logMessage "The value of the order object's order amount is: " +
           selectNumber(xmlObject, xpath : "amount")
    // here's a rather uninspired way to retrieve who the participant is that was assigned the instance
    logMessage "The participant assigned to this instance is: " + inst.participantId
end
on exit
disconnectFrom ps
endDan
