Interface WorkflowView

public interface WorkflowView

An interface exposing workflow features to a notional user of the workflow system. The user associated with the view is typically represented by a security construct such as atg.security.User or atg.security.Persona; note that in the latter case, the view may actually be associated with a role, group, or organization, rather than a single user. A workflow view provides status information on workflow instances, tasks and outcomes, allows new workflow instances to be created, and permits task outcomes to be fired to existing workflow instances. All of these operations are implicitly performed from the point of view of the user, and the view exposes only those workflow objects which are accessible to the user.

A WorkflowView can be read-only, in which case any of the methods which normally modify workflow state throw runtime exceptions instead. This is useful when providing workflow views for arbitrary Personas, rather than individual users. For example, this type of view can be used to access workflow information which is available to all the users with a particular role, or in a particular organization. Because such a view does not represent an actual user effecting workflow state, it makes sense for it to provide read-only access.

It is also possible for a WorkflowView to be global, that is, not associated with any user. A global view performs no access control, thereby providing an unconstrained view of the workflow system.

                   ActionException,
                   java.lang.UnsupportedOperationException

Starts a workflow instance for the given subject on behalf of this view's user. The user must have the access rights to start the workflow. No access control is performed for a global view. This operation is not supported for a read-only view.

The pErrorResponse argument refers to one of the constants in atg.process.action.ActionConstants, and specifies the error handling disposition to be used in case an ActionException occurs in the course of creating the workflow instance. If ERROR_RESPONSE_DEFAULT is specified, the default error response configured for the action will be used. Otherwise, the action's default response will be overriden with the value specified.

Parameters:

pProcessName - the name of the workflow process

pSegmentName - the name of the workflow process segment

pSubjectId - the repository id of the workflow subject for which the workflow instance should be created

pErrorResponse - the error handling disposition to be used for any ActionExceptions thrown while creating the workflow instance

Throws:

MissingWorkflowDescriptionException - if the workflow information cannot be found

Determines whether the user associated with this view is permitted to start the workflow with the given process and segment names. Specifically, the user must have the WorkflowAccessRights.EXECUTE access right for the workflow. Always returns true for a global view.

Parameters:

pProcessName - the name of the workflow process

Returns:

true if the view's user is permitted to start the given workflow, false otherwise

Throws:

MissingWorkflowDescriptionException - if the workflow information cannot be found

WorkflowConstants.DEFAULT_WORKFLOW_SEGMENT, WorkflowAccessRights.EXECUTE

setTaskAccessControlList

void setTaskAccessControlList(java.lang.String pProcessName,
                              java.lang.String pSegmentName,
                              java.lang.String pSubjectId,
                              java.lang.String pTaskElementId,
                              AccessControlList pAcl)
                       throws MissingWorkflowDescriptionException,
                              ActorAccessException,
                              java.lang.UnsupportedOperationException

Sets the given task's access control list for an existing workflow instance. The user must have the access rights to change the task's ACL. No access control is performed for a global view. This operation is not supported for a read-only view.

Note: The access control list assigned to a task at runtime must be a subset of the access control list specified in the task's TaskDescriptor: that is, everybody who is allowed access by the runtime ACL must have also been allowed access by the TaskDescriptor's ACL. This restriction is not enforced by the API, and may be relaxed in the future. However, the implementation currently relies on it, and will behave incorrectly if this rule is not observed. For example, tasks returned by the getActiveTasks methods will not include those tasks which are accessible via the runtime ACL, unless they are also accessible via the TaskDescriptor's ACL.

Parameters:

pProcessName - the name of the workflow process

pSegmentName - the name of the workflow process segment

pSubjectId - the repository id of the workflow subject whose workflow instance is to be affected

pTaskElementId - process element id of the task element, as it appears in the workflow definition file

pAcl - access control list to assign

Throws:

MissingWorkflowDescriptionException - if the workflow information cannot be found
