Hi
I am trying to create a Collaboration Task via Java, in a standard AbstractPortalComponent.
The code Iu2019ve adapted from this [page|https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/wiki?path=/display/EP/Creating%2ba%2bUWL%2btask%2bby%2bCode.], seems to create a UWL Task.
The UWL Tasks (as viewable from pcd:portal_content/com.sap.pct/every_user/general/iViews/com.sap.coll.iviews/com.sap.netweaver.coll.uwl.uwl_iview iView), seems to be different to the Collaboration Tasks (as visible from the pcd:portal_content/com.sap.pct/every_user/general/iViews/com.sap.coll.iviews/com.sap.netweaver.coll.uwl.ui.uwlCollaboration iView)...
I would really like to know just how to create a Collaboration Task, that a user could see in his My Tasks iView under Collaboration.
Iu2019ve been researching this for a few days now, scouring the SDN, this forum, SAP PDFs, UWL API JavaDocs; and Iu2019m still no closer. I would really appreciate any assistance!!
The code Iu2019m using:
public void doContent(IPortalComponentRequest request, IPortalComponentResponse response) { IUWLService uwlService = (IUWLService)PortalRuntime.getRuntimeResources().getService(IUWLService.ALIAS_KEY); UWLContext myContext = new UWLContext(); IUser user = request.getUser(); try { myContext.setUser(user); myContext.setOriginRequest(request); myContext.setLocale(user.getLocale()); uwlService.beginSession(myContext, 600); } catch (UWLException e) { response.write(e.getLocalizedMessage()); } try { IPushChannel pushchannel = uwlService.getPushChannel(); IProviderConnector connectors[] = uwlService.getRegisteredProviderConnectors(); int thisconnector = 0; for (int i = 0; i < connectors.length; i++) { if (connectors<i>.getId().equals(IProviderConnector.ADHOC_WORKFLOW_CONNECTOR_ID)){ thisconnector = i; break; } } if (thisconnector > 0) { Item item = new Item( IProviderConnector.ADHOC_WORKFLOW_CONNECTOR_ID, IProviderConnector.ADHOC_WORKFLOW_SYSTEM, "" + new Date().getTime(), user.getUniqueID()); item.setDescription("This is a procedurally created task!"); item.setUser(user.getUniqueID()); item.setSubject("Procedurally created task - " + new Date().getTime()); item.setItemType(ItemType.UWL_ITEM_TASK); item.setCreatedDate(new Date()); item.setDueDate(new Date(new Date().getTime() + 24*60*60*1000)); //+24h item.setCreatorId(user.getUniqueID()); item.setStatus(StatusEnum.NEW); Set users = new HashSet(); users.add(user.getUniqueID()); pushchannel.pushSharedItem(connectors[thisconnector], item, users); response.write("<br>UWL item created"); } else { response.write("Can't find a connector for AdHoc Workflow"); } } catch (UWLException ex) { response.write(ex.getLocalizedMessage()); } catch (Throwable t) { response.write(t.getLocalizedMessage()); } finally { try { uwlService.endSession(myContext); } catch (UWLException e2) { e2.printStackTrace(); } }
}

I have tried different constants available on ItemType, and IProviderConnector, without success.
I'm not sure if adding sufficient attributes to an Item, via the Item.addAttribute(...) method will somehow change it into a Collaboration Task, instead of a UWL Task??
There seems to be very little information on this topic... the API JavaDocs are very shallow.
Please help!!
