Re: [Openflow-dev] Help for assignment!

Hello Maurizio,

let's try to figure out your situation.

You have activity A and-splitting to activity B and activity C like in:

A -+-> B
   |
   +-> C

When your instance runs, the first workitem (with id 0) is created for A. 
When the workitem is forwarded 2 new workitems will be created (their ids 
being 1 and 2).

Like you said, you can assign workitems doing:

wf.assignWorkitem(instance_id, X, user)

where X is either 0,1 or 2.

I guess the problem you have is dynamically figuring out the workitem names. 
The answer depends on when you want to have that information. Usually you 
need to call the assignWorkitem when the activity application is invoked (ie: 
when the user starts working on a workitem). At that time you can figure out 
the workitem name since it usually is passed as a parameter to the 
application itself (in openflow 0.7 this was accomplished automatically, 
while in openflow 1.0 you are free to set the parameters you prefer).

What I mean is that probably you already know the workitem name in the very 
same place where you call the assignWorkitem API.

If this is not you situation please explain where the assignWorkitem is 
called in your application. Also knowing the Zope and OpenFlow version would 
help me help you.


Cheers,
	Daniele =)
