Use as Process Tool 

Anchor
Use as Process Tool Use as Process Tool

Injected Variables:

• • workflowAssignment - The workflow tool activity assignment object. (org.joget.workflow.model.WorkflowAssignment)
  • pluginManager - Plugin Manager service bean for convenient usage. (org.joget.plugin.base.PluginManager)
  • appDef - App definition of the process. (org.joget.apps.app.model.AppDefinition)
  • request - Http Request object of current HTTP Request. Not available if the tool is trigger by Deadline. (javax.servlet.http.HttpServletRequest)

Expected Return Object:

• • None

Samples:

Start a new process in the same app with current record id.

import javax.servlet.http.HttpServletRequest;
import org.joget.apps.app.model.AppDefinition;
import org.joget.apps.app.service.AppService;

    //get current record id

    //get process

Use as Userview Permission

Injected Variables:

• • user - User object of current logged in user (org.joget.directory.model.User)
  • requestParams - Request parameters map of current HTTP Request (java.util.Map)

Expected Return Object:

• • A boolean value to indicate the user is authorized.

Samples:

Check the user is in a group and is an admin user.

import java.util.Collection;
import java.util.Map;
import org.joget.apps.app.service.AppUtil;
import org.joget.directory.model.Group;
import org.joget.directory.model.User;

import org.joget.workflow.util.WorkflowUtil;
public boolean isAuthorized(User user, Map params) { 
    //if no logged in user
    if (user == null) {
        return false;
    }
    //check current user is admin
    boolean isAdmin = WorkflowUtil.isCurrentUserInRole(WorkflowUserManager.ROLE_ADMIN);
    
    //check current user is in group "G-001"
    boolean inGroup = false;
    
    ExtDirectoryManager directoryManager = (ExtDirectoryManager) AppUtil.getApplicationContext().getBean("directoryManager");

                inGroup = true;
            }

    }
    
    return isAdmin && inGroup;
}
  
//call isAuthorized method with injected variable
return isAuthorized(user, requestParams);

Best Practices

1. Only import classes that are needed

Do not use wildcard in import statement. It giving a very bad performance in Bean Shell interpreter to search the whole package and loads it in memory.

Don't:

import java.util.*;

Do:

import java.util.Collection;

2. Do not need to mention the type of element of a collections

Bean Shell interpreter cannot recognise the element type syntax of collections class like Collection, Map, List, Set and etc.

Don't:

Map<String, String> map = new HashMap<String, String>();

Do:

Map map = new HashMap();

3. Indents your script nicely and

3. Indents your script nicely and follows the Java Code Conventions

...

try {
    //do something
} catch (Exception e) {
    LogUtil.error("CRM app - Backend userview", e, "Error retrieving user department in Report category permission");
}

7. Consider to make it as a plugin instead of using Bean Shell

 {
    //do something
} catch (Exception e) {
    LogUtil.error("CRM app - Backend userview", e, "Error retrieving user department in Report category permission");
}

7. Consider to make it as a plugin instead of using Bean Shell

If your script need to reuse for multiple times in an app or can be used by others app in future development, please consider to make your Bean Shell script as a plugin instead of copy and paste it multiple times across your app. Bean Shell script is harder to maintain in this case. Imagine that you want to make a change, you will have to update all the places that are using the same script as well. Beside that, a normal plugin implementation will have better performance than a script running by a Bean Shell interpreter.

8. Reuse existing plugins in your code to make it cleaner and easy to maintain

If partial of your script can be done by existing plugins in Joget Workflow, you can reuse the plugin in stead of writting it again. 

To reuse a plugin, you can retrieve the plugin using PluginManager, then set it properties and execute it.

Example: 

1. Reuse Multi Row Binder plugin to load data
2. Reuse Email Tool to send email
