[Yanel-dev] Workflow state change notifications

[Michael Wechner]

Hi

I have recently implemented a simple EmailAction in order to send 
notifications re workflow transitions:

src/impl/java/org/wyona/yanel/impl/workflow/EmailAction.java

whereas this class can be used within an email as follows, e.g.

<transition id="submit" from="draft" to="review">
<!-- INFO: Do not set this role condition, because otherwise user 
anonymous cannot submit meeting for review
<condition 
class="org.wyona.yanel.impl.workflow.RoleCondition">write</condition>
-->
<action 
class="org.imstat.yanel.impl.resources.meetingpage.EmailAction">michael.wechner at wyona.com, 
michi at wyona.com</action>

and customized by overwriting the methods:

getSenderAddress(...)
getSubject(...)
getText(...)

whereas in the future one could also make these methods configurable (in 
particular the sender/from address), but in many cases the subject and 
body/text are often very dynamic and hence I think it makes sense to 
have them implemented with Java.

Cheers

Michael
