Liferay kaleo workflow issue

Question

My use case is pretty straight forward for using single approver workflow for Web Contents.

1. User create web-content
2. It Goes for review
3. If Reviewer approved it got display
4. If Reviewer reject, it should view as denied and user should able to re-submit it again for review

I'm having issue at point 4.

When reviewer rejects, it goes as denied. But when the created tries to re-edit the web content and "submit for publication" it always stays in "Draft" mode. Reviewer did not get any task in their workflow task.

I'm using liferay 6.2 ce ga 3. Following is my workflow definition.

<?xml version="1.0"?>

<workflow-definition
    xmlns="urn:liferay.com:liferay-workflow_6.2.0"

Do I need to add any other state or action for achieving point 4?

Answer 1

I believe you'll want to set the status to "denied" as you have done already in the update task, but then immediately, in the same action script, set the status to "pending".

Packages.com.liferay.portal.kernel.workflow.WorkflowStatusManagerUtil.updateStatus(Packages.com.liferay.portal.kernel.workflow.WorkflowConstants.toStatus("pending"), workflowContext);

Answer 2

Without looking at your XML (I am answering this on my phone), the description sounds just like the automatically installed single approver workflow. You can download and inspect this workflow's XML and compare it to your current one.
