Hello,
I am looking for a way to stop workflow action from completing based on some condition in Velocity Script Actionlet. For example, I would like to validate some condition in Velocity Script Actionlet and abort the workflow action if the condition fails. I would like for this to work interactively as well as when the workflow action is invoked via Rest API.
I've scanned the old posts and documentation but did not find anything useful. Many thanks in advance for any helpful hint or technique.

It looks like workflow actions support two exceptions:
@throws WorkflowActionFailureException
@throws DotContentletValidationException
https://github.com/dotCMS/core/blob/master/dotCMS/src/main/java/com/dotmarketing/portlets/workflows/actionlet/WorkFlowActionlet.java#L95-L110
Throwing these exceptions should bubble up to the caller and be handled appropriately.
Note: I haven't actually tried this before.

Hi Nathan,
Thanks for the tip. How would I "throw" these from Velocity Script Actionlet? Or would I have to create a custom workflow sub-action plugin?

I'm not sure exactly how to throw an exception in velocity. I'm not sure if those exception classes are available in the velocity context.
Maybe this can help?
https://stackoverflow.com/questions/15659200/how-to-throw-an-user-defined-exception-from-velocity-template-script-vtl
If you get it working, let us know.
Otherwise go the OSGI plugin route.

Thanks, Nathan. After all these years of using Velocity, didn't know this could be done in Velocity. However, the ExceptionThrower referenced on StackOverflow post would have to be added as custom Velocity tool to be usable. I'm not there yet but hopefully soon.

Ah, yes I see that now. Probably simpler to go the OSGI route then, since you'd end up using Java in some capacity either way.

Hi Nathan,
Thanks for the tip. How would I "throw" these from Velocity Script Actionlet? Or would I have to create a custom workflow sub-action plugin?

Throwing these exceptions should bubble up to the caller and be handled appropriately.
Note: I haven't actually tried this before.

________________________________
Hello,
I am looking for a way to stop workflow action from completing based on some condition in Velocity Script Actionlet. For example, I would like to validate some condition in Velocity Script Actionlet and abort the workflow action if the condition fails. I would like for this to work interactively as well as when the workflow action is invoked via Rest API.
I've scanned the old posts and documentation but did not find anything useful. Many thanks in advance for any helpful hint or technique.

Hi Mark
I think you can do something such as
```
#if($content.getTitle().startsWith('wrong'))
$dotlogger.info("Wrong")
$workflow.abortProcessor()
#else
$dotlogger.info("OK")
#end
```
$workflow.abortProcessor()
Will abort the current action,
Thanks,
J

Great, thanks Jonathan! I will give this a try (although I don't see abortProcessor() method in javadoc for the workflow tool).

Hi Jonathan,
The $workflow.abortProcessor() works! I followed the Velocity Scriptlet Actionlet with Message sub-action to display $content.result.output with error message. Thanks again.
