Bonita Studio 6.3 - How do I get the ProcessDefinitionId and processInstanceId variables in java (not groovy) code?

Q&A
1

I am trying to write some informational data to a log so we can easily track a workflows progress without having to log into Bonita. Since we share the connector that we write with many workflows I need to know what process name, version, and instance (case) id is writing to the log file.

I can easily do this using a Groovy script connector with code like this:

*import org.bonitasoft.engine.bpm.process.ProcessDefinition;
import org.bonitasoft.engine.api.ProcessAPI;
import org.slf4j.Logger;
import org.slf4j.LoggerFactory;

ProcessAPI processApi = apiAccessor.getProcessAPI();
ProcessDefinition process = processApi.getProcessDefinition(processDefinitionId);

Logger logger = LoggerFactory.getLogger(“org.bonitasoft.groovy.script.logNoMetadataNothingToDo”);
logger.error(“processName=” + process.name + " processVersion=" + process.version + " processInstanceId=" + processInstanceId.toString() +
" has no metadata so there is nothing for it to do.");*

I am trying to do the same thing in a java connector implementation (not groovy) but I do not see how I can get the processDefinitionId and processInstanceId variables that are provided to a groovy script. Can someone share an example of how to get this data in a java connector?

I’ve answered my own question: Here is how you do it if anyone is interested:

package org.bonitasoft.connector;

import org.bonitasoft.engine.connector.ConnectorException;
import org.bonitasoft.engine.bpm.process.ProcessDefinition;
import org.bonitasoft.engine.api.ProcessAPI;
import org.slf4j.Logger;
import org.slf4j.LoggerFactory;

public class SomethingImpl extends AbstractSomethingImpl {

private static final Logger logger = LoggerFactory.getLogger(SomethingImpl.class); 

@Override
protected void executeBusinessLogic() throws ConnectorException{		
	ProcessAPI processApi = apiAccessor.getProcessAPI();
	
	try {
		ProcessDefinition process = processApi.getProcessDefinition(getExecutionContext().getProcessDefinitionId());
		logger.info("processName=" + process.getName() + " processVersion=" + process.getVersion() + 
				" processInstanceId=" + getExecutionContext().getProcessInstanceId());
	} catch (Exception e) {
                    //Handle errors here
		throw new ConnectorException(e);
	}
 }

}

Many thanks Ryan, I’ll be using it at some time…
