RE: User to participant mapping

Hi Greg, 

I'm not sure how you want to get your mappings, but this is how I'm doing it
..

	/**
	 * Internal gets a list of All Participants, or unmapped
Participants.
	 * 
	 * @param All True - Return ALL Participants, False - Return
UnMapped Participants.  
	 * @return Vector containing SharkParticipant Entities.
	 */
	private static Vector sharkParticipants( boolean All ) {
		Vector retVector = new Vector();
		try {
			ParticipantMap[] allParticipants =
sharkAdmin.getParticipantMappingAdministration().getAllParticipants();
			for(int i=0;i<allParticipants.length;i++){
				try {
					ParticipantMap[] pc =
sharkAdmin.getParticipantMappingAdministration().getParticipantMappings(
allParticipants[i].getPackageId(),
allParticipants[i].getProcessDefinitionId(),
allParticipants[i].getParticipantId() );
					if(pc.length == 0 || (pc.length > 0
&& All))
						retVector.add(
sharkParticipantInfoFromXPDL( new SharkParticipant(
allParticipants[i].getPackageId(),
allParticipants[i].getProcessDefinitionId(),
allParticipants[i].getParticipantId() ) ) );
				} catch (BaseException e1) {
				}
			}
		} catch (BaseException e) {
		}
		return retVector;
	}

I Hope this Helps, Some Variables in this function are global,
	sharkAdmin = sharkInstance.getAdminInterface();
And
	sharkParticipantInfoFromXPDL is another function which just get the
participants from the Loaded XDPL.


As for Assignments, once you have the assignment, (It's probably a manual
start), the assignment needs to be accepted, and then completed for the
Workflow to continue..
Something like this

	WfAssignment[] ass =
sConn.getResourceObject().get_sequence_work_item( 0 );
	for(int i=0;i<ass.length;i++) {
		if( ass[i].activity().key().equals( activity_key_to_accept )
) {
			if( !ass[i].get_accepted_status() )
				ass[i].set_accepted_status( true );
		}
	}
Or something like this
	
Shark.getInstance().getAdminInterface().getExecutionAdministration().getAssi
gnment( package_id, process_id, assignment_id ).set_accepted_status( true );


Then you need to do whatever needs to be done (Change Variables, calculate
something, etc...), and complete the assignment for the Workflow to continue
..

Something Like

	WfAssignment[] ass =
sConn.getResourceObject().get_sequence_work_item( 0 );
	for(int i=0;i<ass.length;i++) { // Lets find the Assignment
		if( ass[i].activity().key().equals( activity_key_to_complete
)) {
		    Map messageData = null;
			try {  // Update Variables if Needed
				messageData =
ass[i].activity().process_context();
				if( messageData.containsKey( "SomeVariable"
) ){
				    messageData.put("SomeVariable", "I've
Calculated this for you now Continue" );
				}
				// Set the new Context
			    ass[i].activity().set_process_context(
messageData );
			} catch (Exception e) {}

			// Complete the Activity so the workflow Continues
			ass[i].activity().complete();
			// Get The Result
			messageData = ass[i].activity().process_context();
		}
	}

There are probably a few other methods, but this is how I do it ...


Hope this helps a bit

Subject: [shark] User to participant mapping

I'm mapping my participants to a Shark Group.  Given an instantiated
workflow activity, is there anyway to see what group it is mapped to?

Given an assignment for the user, I can get the Activity and the process,
but I can't figure out where to go from there.

Any hints?

Thanks
Greg
