Basic upload example

  • Upload a new document to a folder.
  • folderUuid is a valid folder UUID. You can also use folderPath and set a path, which is more human-readable.
    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
    <!DOCTYPE workflow-forms PUBLIC "-//OpenKM//DTD Workflow Forms 2.6//EN"
                                    "http://www.openkm.com/dtd/workflow-forms-2.6.dtd">
    <workflow-forms>
      <workflow-form task="upload test">
        <upload name="upload" label="Upload document" folderUuid="fca2d85e-0e01-418d-b699-c0dd0f8190da" />
      </workflow-form>
    </workflow-forms>

Document update example

  • Create a new version of an existing document.
  • documentUuid is the UUID of the document to be updated.
  • The type attribute must be set to update.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE workflow-forms PUBLIC "-//OpenKM//DTD Workflow Forms 2.6//EN"
                                "http://www.openkm.com/dtd/workflow-forms-2.6.dtd">
<workflow-forms>
  <workflow-form task="upload test">
    <upload name="upload" label="Upload document" type="update" documentUuid="e6a06309-c1cf-42be-98fd-7d7ed83ebda8" />
  </workflow-form>
</workflow-forms>

Dynamic parameters example

  • Upload a document to a folder determined at runtime.
  • The data attribute is a mapping variable used to dynamically set the folderPath or folderUuid attribute.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE workflow-forms PUBLIC "-//OpenKM//DTD Workflow Forms 2.6//EN"
                                "http://www.openkm.com/dtd/workflow-forms-2.6.dtd">
<workflow-forms>
  <workflow-form task="upload test">
    <upload name="upload" label="Upload document" data="updData" />
  </workflow-form>
</workflow-forms>

The following Java code must be executed before the task that displays the form. It sets the target folder dynamically:

import org.jbpm.graph.def.ActionHandler;
import org.jbpm.graph.exe.ExecutionContext;

import com.openkm.bean.form.Upload;

public class UploadAction implements ActionHandler {
    private static final long serialVersionUID = 1L;
    
    @Override
    public void execute(ExecutionContext ctx) throws Exception {
        Upload upd = new Upload();
        upd.setFolderPath("/okm:root/dstFld");
        ctx.setVariable("updData", upd);
        
        // Proceed to the next node
        ctx.getToken().signal();
    }
}
