Is there a way where we can implement check in and checkout functionality for multiple workitems at a time. Suppose, there are 10 workitems for a user. These workitems are presented to the user in one single page, to complete workitems all he has to do is select a check box for each workitem. he should be able to check multiple workitems at a time. Can this be implemented in workflow. Once he checks the checkboxes and presses submit, all the workitems should be completed and move to next activity. I dont know whether I am making sense or not. Any help is appreciated.

Thanks in advance

By the time you present the activities to the user check them out.
When the user hits the submit button check them in. If the user selects 5 items and doesn't select the other 5, checkin the 5 that he selected and cancelcheckout the others.

You should look at the workflow java API on how to achieve this.

This should be fine if there is only one user. What if there are multiple persons who should see the workitems before acting on them. Say user1 and user2 are authorized to work on the 10 items. Those workitems are owned by a role rather than a person at first. If you check them out before presenting them for user1 then user2 can not act on them. Because presentation is not controlled by me, somebody else controls the presentation. They use an EJB for stroing some part of their data in a database and that EJB requests my EJB which in turn will access workflow for returning workitems etc.. its just complicated.. just botherin g me on how to acheive this functionality...


Thanks in Advance

Then don't check them out while presenting.

Just show them the work items then without checking them out. When the user selects few work itmes and approves them, then do the check out and check in. Where you do what and is the question and not how.
