Example

The following code excerpt shows an example of how to call the getAttribute methods in a Java program. The example code is from the WFTest.java program.

// we get the value according to the type.

if (myAttrType == "DATE")

{

  value = WFNotificationAPI.getAttrDate(ctx, myNid, myAttr);

}

else if (myAttrType == "NUMBER")

{

  value = (WFNotificationAPI.getAttrNumber(ctx, myNid, 

    myAttr)).toString();

}

else if (myAttrType == "DOCUMENT")

{

  value = WFNotificationAPI.getAttrDoc(ctx, myNid, myAttr, 

    null);

}

else

  value = WFNotificationAPI.getAttrText(ctx, myNid, myAttr);

System.out.println(myAttr.toString() + " = '" + value + 

    "'");
