Open HTML form in a Window

General
1

Hi everybody!

I’m trying to open an HTML form in my explorer tab.

I’ve one project that gives me Forms (html). From a Vaadin project, I can take the form resource with:


ExternalResource url = new ExternalResource(“http://localhost:8080/activiti-rest/service/process-definition/”+ myProcess +“/form?format=html”);
ProcessEngines.getDefaultProcessEngine().getFormService().getRenderedStartForm( myProcess )

and I create a Window but now I don’t know what to do with it… How to show it…

I’ve tried by a direct URL too, something like:

               [color=#A19E9E]

myWindow.open( url ,“_new”);
[/color]

but it opens a new explorer tab and gives me the HTML code but I’ve the same problem… I don’t know how to manage it.

Right now I’m lost, it could be fine if you could help me in any way :slight_smile:

Ei !

I’ve foud the answer.
First of all, thanks to Henry Sara because he’s who wrote about this (
FORUM - custom layouts
 ).

Finaly, I resolved my problem:

            String part1 = "<html><form name='myProcess"' action='  ' method='post'>";
	String part2 = "</form></html>";
	String renderedStartForm = ProcessEngines.getDefaultProcessEngine().getFormService().getRenderedStartForm(nomProces).toString();
	String x = part1+renderedStartForm+part2;

            try {
		newWindow.addComponent(new CustomLayout(new ByteArrayInputStream(x.getBytes())));
	} catch (IOException e) {
		e.printStackTrace();
	}

            mainWindow.addWindow(newWindow);

Also you can create a submit action.

*Note that is the way to get the init forms of activiti

Thanks!

And what do you put in the submit action?

How do you start the task using html forms?
