Hi, I have a problem creating and adding a new codelet. I correctly followed the various tutorials found. The engine log presents an error, but it just says "error with plugin x". I set up the web.xml file also. Nothing worked, please check my codelet inplementation and feel free to ask further details, thank you

Hi, I have looked at your codelet. It compiles and can be selected in the YAWL editor. I had the problem that the datatype in YAWL was called "String", so I changed the codelet like this

***

 YParameter param1 = new YParameter(null, YParameter._INPUT_PARAM_TYPE);
            param1.setDataTypeAndName("string", "username", XSD_NAMESPACE);
            param1.setDocumentation("appuser username");
            params.add(param1);
            
            YParameter param2 = new YParameter(null, YParameter._INPUT_PARAM_TYPE);
            param2.setDataTypeAndName("string", "password", XSD_NAMESPACE);
            param2.setDocumentation("appuser password");
            params.add(param2);

***

When I try to run it I have a different problem:

2017-03-16 12:27:25,532 [ERROR] CodeletRunner        :- Exception executing codelet 'codelet.PrepareDataTaskCodelet': Parameter 'username' is required by the specified codelet but could not be found in the workitem's parameters..

The problem is you have overridden the 'setInputs' method, which prevents the superclass from initialising the input values correctly. To fix, remove the overridden 'setInputs' method from your class.
