Changing the Appearance of Work List Panels Based on the Instance Information

ALBPM WorkSpace 6.0 supports the customization of cells based on the instance information. The following procedure shows you how to customize the information displayed in the Work List, based on the instance information.

1. Create a Java class that implements the interface workspace.model.view.WorkListDecorator.
   1. Add the JAR files fuego.workspace.jar and fuegopapi-client.jar to the CLASSPATH. The following table shows the location of these JAR files:

      JAR File	Location
      fuego.workspace.jar	BEA_HOME/albpm6.0/enterprise/webapps/workspace/WEB-INF/lib
      fuegopapi-client.jar	BEA_HOME/albpm6.0/enterprise/client/papi/lib/fuegopapi-client.jar.

   2. Create a Java class that implements the interface workspace.model.view.WorkListDecorator. For a complete reference of this interface, see Interface WorkListDecorator Reference.
   3. Compile the class created in the previous step. You must compile this class with JDK 1.5.
2. Copy the compiled class to the directory ALBPM_HOME/albpm6.0/webapps/workspace/WEB-INF/classes. If your class is distributed in a package, you need to create a JAR file and copy it to BEA_HOME/albpm6.0/enterprise/webapps/workspace/WEB-INF/lib.
3. Edit the ALBPM WorkSpace configuration file, workspace.properties located under ALBPM_HOME/albpm6.0/webapps/workspace/WEB-INF.
4. Add the key fuego.workspace.worklist.styleResolverClassname and set the value of this property to the fully qualified name of the class created in the previous steps.

   For example, to use the class customization.CustomdWorkListDecorator, you need to add the key value pair fuego.workspace.worklist.styleResolverClassname=customization.CustomWorkListDecorator.
