Building a User Inbox
To develop a custom User Inbox:
- Create the User Inbox class(es).
- Log in to the Process Engine and establish a Process session.
- Query User and Work queues for Queue Elements.
- Lock the retrieved objects.
- Display a list of queues.
- Open a work item.
To complete the development of your custom User Inbox:
- Compile your User Inbox class(es).
- Create and sign a Java™ Archive (JAR) file that includes the customized User Inbox.
- Deploy the JAR file on the Application Engine server. Once deployed, you
will need to create a Java™Server Pages (JSP) event page to make the User Inbox available to the
Process Engine server. In addition, you will need to create a JSP view (UI)
page. See the Deploying Java Applications.
- If your application is for a step, launch step, or a submap in a workflow (such as, a Step Processor), use the Process Designer to add the application to the workflow.
- Run your application.
