Wiki Workflow
Hi,
I was looking into the workflow plugin but I ist hard to understand it form the documentation:
http://www.jspwiki.org/wiki/WorkflowEvent
And the Page
http://www.jspwiki.org/wiki/WorkflowPlugin has an error.
I would like to know if there is something like multipple approval.
Say i have a Document or Page and I want it to be approved by every member of a group. And these members should even get a notification that there are open approvals.
Can JSPWIKI Workflow do this or do we need to implement it?
Mit freundlichen Grüßen
Nicola Fischer

It's not implemented in 3.0 yet. Shouldn't be too hard, but it will
come later rather than sooner in the 3.0 dev cycle, barring someone
else tackling it first. I'm waist-deep in the JSP migration right
now....

I know we spoke about this a month ago, but could you point me to where
this is in the 3.0 codeline? I would like to try to migrate it into 2.8
(unless 3 is due out soon).

Re: Wiki Workflow
Hi Nicola --
The page you referenced is not the documentation for workflows, just a
wiki page. For the real documentation, take a look at the Javadoc for
the workflow API.
"Workflows," as they exist today, are comprised of two things: 1) a
Workflow.jsp page, which provides an "inbox" that allows users to
respond to workflow decisions and notifications, and 2) an API that
allows participating classes to create the workflow objects
themselves.
To date, there are only two out-of-the-box workflows: for approving
edited pages, and for approving new user accounts. Both of these can
be configured via jspwiki.properties. These are both single-approval
models.
Multiple-approval models, like the one you described, are definitely
possible using the workflow APIs, but not implemented in any
out-of-the-box workflows today. You'd need to write Java code that
links together the correct steps and decisions. I'd recommend you take
a look at the WorkflowBuilder class, and the various workflow test
classes, to see how we've done the others.
If you are feeling super-motivated, we'd love to get some
contributions. It would be great to have a "multi-approval" builder
method in WorkflowBuilder.
The good news is that the classes, from the Java perspective, are
fairly simple and easy to understand. The bad news is that we don't
yet have a way to persist workflows between webapp restarts. That's
going to change in JSPWiki 3, when we will begin requiring all objects
involved in workflows to be Serializable.
