retrieve actor of the swimlane

[bubblelicious]

Hi,

I have develop a periodic mail notification , it work when I send the name of an actor. But how could 
I retrieve the name of the actor define in the swimlane.

I could create a process variable and initialise it from an action handler but what's the syntax using execution context?

or did it has an other way?

Hi Bubble,

Re: what's the syntax using execution context?

ExecutionContext context;

...

VariableType variable =  (VariableType)context.getVariable(variableName);

you can retrieve only code of actor.

no body could help me?

[bubblelicious]

it has somthing that I don't understand ,
when I initialize a swimlane I declare a variable with the same name then the swimlane but it's impossible to retrieve his value from the context has the other variable why?

And is it possible to retrieve the actor of a swimlane without using context just with his name?

plz vitaly help me to solve my problem I have to finish this for friday and it's the only thing that doesn't work

Hi Bubble,

Map variables = executionServiceDelegate.getVariables(subject, taskStub.getId());

Look at method handle() of DatabaseTaskHandler class.

when I'm using that syntax it return the value "-4"

re:you can retrieve only code of actor.

What's the syntax to get the code of actor?

With this code, could I get the name from the DB?

Hi Bubble,

Re: when I'm using that syntax it return the value "-4"

It may be the real user code. If you don't enter user code in "Create new Actor" form then it is created automatically (this codes are sequential negative numbers).

So, check "code" field in "Executor Details" form.

Hi Andrei,

I had just check and it's the good code value for my user
thanks

Does a method exist to retrieve the name with the code or do I have to take it from the DB?

First - create Actor class:

Actor actor = DelegateFactory.getInstance().getExecutorServiceDelegate().getActorByCode(subject, code);

Second - get actor name:

actor.getName()
