Interface IRuntimeConfigService

public interface IRuntimeConfigService

The RuntimeConfigService is used to query and update metadata specific to the runtime operation of the Workflow Service. It is used for querying and setting flexfield mappings, for querying the what Dynamic Assignment Functions are available, and for querying and setting the URIs used to display task details.

An instance of IRuntimeConfigService can be created by calling IWorkflowServiceClient.getRuntimeConfigService(). An instance of IWorkflowServiceClient can be created using the WorkflowServiceClientFactory.

All the RuntimeConfigService methods take IWorkflowContext as their first parameter. The IWorkflowContext object allows the RuntimeConfigService to validate that the method is being called by an authenticated user, and that the user has the necessary authority to perform the action being requested. The IWorkflowContext object also contains information on the user's timezone and locale. An IWorkflowContext object can be obtained by calling ITaskQueryService.authenticate(java.lang.String, java.lang.String, java.lang.String, java.lang.String) or ITaskQueryService.createContext(HttpServletRequest).

In most cases, any authenticated user can use the query methods, but only a user with specific privileges can use methods that update data.

Many of the parameters and return types of the methods are JAXB model objects from the package oracle.bpel.services.workflow.runtimeconfig.model. These objects do not have public constructors. To create new instances of these objects you should use the appropriate methods on oracle.bpel.services.workflow.runtimeconfig.model.ObjectFactory.

Since:: 10.1.3.1.0

Method Detail

getWorkflowPayloadMappings

PayloadMappingsList getWorkflowPayloadMappings(IWorkflowContext ctx,
                                               java.lang.String workflowId)
                                               throws WorkflowException

Gets a list of payload mappings that have been defined for the specified task type, in the form of a PayloadMappingsList object. A payload mapping defines a mapping between Tasks of a particular type and a flexfield attribute column on the WFTASK table (such as TextAttribute1), via an AttributeLabel. The mapping may also specify how the value of the flexfield attribute should be determined, either via an xpath expression or by specfifying a payload attribute. The PayloadMappingsList contains a List of PayloadMappingType objects. See

createPayloadMapping(oracle.bpel.services.workflow.verification.IWorkflowContext, oracle.bpel.services.workflow.runtimeconfig.model.PayloadMappingType)

for a complete description of the PayloadMappingType object.

Parameters:: ctx - an authenticated IWorkflowContext; workflowId - String the TaskDefinitionId of the task type to query mappings for.
Returns:: PayloadMappingsList contains a List of PayloadMapping objects.
Throws:: WorkflowException - if some error condition occurs.

createAttributeLabel

AttributeLabel createAttributeLabel(IWorkflowContext ctx,
                                    AttributeLabelType label)
                                    throws WorkflowException

Creates a new label for a Task flexfield attribute from the supplied AttributeLabel object. Only users with the workflow.mapping.publicFlexField privilege can create attribute labels, and only users with the workflow.mapping.protectedFlexField privilege can create attribute labels for protected flexfields. An AttributeLabel is associated with a particular Task flexfield. (Flexfield columns are the general purpose columns named TextAttribute1...20, NumberAttribute1...10, DateAttribute1...10, ProtectedTextAttribute1...20 and so on). An AttributeLabel allows a more meaningful name to be assigned to a flexfield column (for example, a label named "CustomerName" is more meaningful than "TextAttribute1"). PayloadMappings map task payload attributes to AttributeLabels - a single AttributeLabel can be associated with more than one PayloadMapping. This allows payload attributes from different tasks that share the same semantic meaning to be mapped to a common label. For example, a number of task types may contain payload attributes that contain a customer name - all of them can be mapped to a single "CustomerName" label.

The label name can be used when displaying mapped flexfield columns for tasks of a particular type or types. The method ITaskMetadataService.getTaskAttributesForTaskDefinition(oracle.bpel.services.workflow.verification.IWorkflowContext, java.lang.String) will return a list of task attributes including any flexfield attributes that have been mapped for that task defintion. The flexfield attributes in the list will have a display name derived from the appropriate AttributeLabel name. It is possible to provide internationalization support for AttributeLabel names, by adding entries to the WorkflowLabels.properties file. See the Workflow Services chapter of the BPEL Process Manager Developer's Guide for more details.

The AttributeLabel object contains the following properties:

id String Unique identifier for AttributeLabel. Automatically populated by API during create operation.
dataType String The type of flexfield column this label is for. Automatically maintained by API, will be populated with one of the following values after create operation:
- "Text"
- "Form"
- "Url"
- "Date"
- "Number"
labelName String The name for the label.
taskAttribute String The name of the flexfield attribute column the label is for. Should be one of the following values:
- TextAttribute1..20
- FormAttribute1..10
- UrlAttribute1..10
- DateAttribute1..10
- NumberAttribute1..10
Users with the workflow.mapping.protectedFlexField permission can also create AttributeLabels using the following values:
- ProtectedTextAttribute1..20
- ProtectedFormAttribute1..10
- ProtectedUrlAttribute1..10
- ProtectedDateAttribute1..10
- ProtectedNumberAttribute1..10
descriptionOptional field used to provide aditional information on the label - for example, to note the origianl source for the data that is stored in attributes mapped to this label
active Not used.
workflowType Not used. Always set to IWorkflowConstants.WF_TYPE by API.
createdDate Calendar Date attribute label was created. Automatically maintained by API.

usages List of LabelUsageType objects. Each LabelUsageType object describes a usage of the attribute label in a payload mapping, and has the following properties:
- workflowId String TaskDefinitionId of the task definition whose payload is being mapped.
- workflowName String name of the task definition whose payload is being mappied.
- payloadAttribute String name of the payload attribute being mapped (if any). The payload attribute must be a simple type. To select a mapped value from a complex payload attribute, an xpath expression should be used instead.

createPayloadMapping

PayloadMapping createPayloadMapping(IWorkflowContext ctx,
                                    PayloadMappingType mapping)
                                    throws WorkflowException

Creates a mapping between a specific task defintion, and a task flexfield attribute, using an attribute label. Only users with the workflow.mapping.publicFlexField or workflow.mapping.protectedFlexField privilege can create a payload mapping.

Note that mappings to protected flexfield attribute labels cannot be created using this API. Such mappings can only be defined in a task definition, and are created during deployment of the task component.

A payload mapping can define a mapping between a value in a task's payload and a flexfield attribute column on the WFTASK table (such as TextAttribute1). This mapping can be specified either as the name of a payload attribute, or as an xpath expression. When payload mapping exists for a particular Task type, the value of the Task payload attribute or xpath expression is written to the mapped flexfield column, allowing queries, views and rules to be defined using the mapped value.

If no payload attribute or xpath expression is specified, then the mapping is for labelling purposes only. It is up to workflow service clients to manually populate the appropriate flexfield attribute on the Task object (e.g. textAttribute1). The label specified in the mapping can still be used in queries etc., however.

Payload mappings are actually made between the a task type and an AttributeLabel. An AttributeLabel allows a more meaningful name to be assigned to a flexfield column, and allows different task types to map payload attributes to a common label.

If a payload attribute is being mapped, it must be a simple type (for example, xsd:string. In order to map to values inside a payload attribute that is a complex type, an xpath expression is required instead.

The mapping to be created is defined by the PayloadMappingType object supplied to the method. The attribute label being mapped to must already exist before creating the mapping. PayloadMappingType has the following properties:

workflowId String the TaskDefintionId of the task type the mapping is being created for.
label AttributeLabelType the attribute label being mapped to. Must already exist. See createAttributeLabel(oracle.bpel.services.workflow.verification.IWorkflowContext, oracle.bpel.services.workflow.runtimeconfig.model.AttributeLabelType) for a description. When creating (or deleting) a payload mapping, only the id property needs to be set on the AttributeLabelType object.
payloadAttribute String the name of the payload attribute that specifies the value that will be used to populate the flexfield column. This is optional, and the payload attribute must be a simple type.
xpath XpathType object describing the xpath expression (if any) used to select a value from the Task instance. The xpath expression must evaluate to a simple type. Xpath expressions are typically used to select a value from a complex payload attribute, but any valid xpath expression can be used (for example, an xpath function could be invoked). The XpathType object has the following properties:
- expression String the xpath expression used to select the value, from within a task instance. For example: /task:task/task:payload/ord:order/ord:item/ord:itemName
- namespace List of XpathType.NamespaceType objects that describe the namespace prefixes used in the xpath expression, and the namespace URIs they correspond to. Each NamespaceType object has the following properties:
  - prefix String the prefix, for example ord
  - Uri String the namespace URI, for example http://acme.com/xml/order
