I'm using Web Client with Workflow, and I'm using a few custom handlers to handle different actions on a page. On the jsp of one of the activities, I have this id value (defined in the workflow data structure) that I let the user define. When that activity is finished however, my custom handler checks to see if the user-defined id is valid, and if not, a valid id is automatically assigned. Does anyone know how I can reset the id value to the new value in the handler, so that in the next activity, the id shown will not be the user input, but the new assigned id? Thanks in advance for anyone's help

I am not sure what you are asking for. If your handler is changing the ID field and checking in the workitem, the next activity should have that info if the ID field is mapped to the next activity.

That's my problem....how do you even set this id value in the handler? What methods do you use to get and set values that belong to the data structure? Are they treated the same as parameters and attributes that you define in a jsp? If they are, how come when I tried to use request.setParameter and setAttribute to set it, neither worked. I even tried getting the container of the workitem using method workitem.outContainer and setting the id value using method container.setLong, but the changed value doesn't get carried through to the next activity.

On that note, I have another question. I see that there's an inContainer and outContainer method for WorkItem, ActivityInstance, and ProcessInstance. What are the differences? Especially the containers for ActivityInstance and WorkItem, I thought ActivityInstance and WorkItem are the same thing. I hope this is clearer in what I am trying to ask. And thanks for your help!

Did you check if you are mapping the data to the next activity.

There can be many workitems for each activity instance depending on the staff assignment.
