Using primefaces or jsf page as a task form

[hassan....@gmail.com]

I noticed that angularjs is used in the building of tasklist application. Is it possible to use the primefaces or jsf page as a task form? If yes, How can that be
achieved?

Hi Hassan.

Yes thats possible - you have to set the form key to the JSF page you want
to show, e.g. activiti:formKey="app:approveInvoice.jsf". The JSF page now
have to be deployed within your process application. See
https://app.camunda.com/confluence/display/foxUserGuide/Add+forms+to+your+
Process+Application for details - but note that it documents the 6.2
approach - especially the form key has changed in 7.0. We will migrate the
docs asap.

Hope that helps?
Cheers
Bernd

Hi,

there is a really cool example in camundas bitbucket repo which got us startetd, namely the UiMediator. You shouldn't need the whole example, but really interesting for you might be this class:

https://bitbucket.org/camunda/fox-showcases/src/df7546167c41/ui-mediator/src/main/java/com/camunda/sample/uimediator/UIMediator.java?at=master

You query the FormService to get the forms name in the process and just return it to JSF. Thats all you have to do.

Greetings,
Daniel

Hi Bernd Rücker,
Can I use the jsf form to be embedded inside the tsklist using the value "embedded:app:approveInvoice.jsf" as formKey instead of "app:approveInvoice.jsf" or that is valid with angularjs forms only? As I got from the get-started page using the form key "app:approveInvoice.jsf" means the form will be rendered in a pop window & using "embedded:app:approveInvoice.jsf" value means the form will be rendered inside the tasklist window. Is that right?

Hi Hassan,

JSF can only be used for external forms ATM. So you must specify the path like this:

app:approveInvoice.jsf

Embedding JSF forms is not supported.
