Webcenter Portal Task Flows with Page Service API

In this example i am going to create a webcenter portal task flow using Page Service API.

If you want to create task flow in Webcenter portal, Oracle is providing a standard way go to Administration  -> Under UI components -> Task Flows-> Create(Button)

But you can create a task flow using page service api also.

                pageServiceImpl.createTaskFlow(newTaskFlowPage,
                                               newTaskFlowPageDef,
                                               newTaskFlowDefinition,
                                               srcTaskFlowPage,
                                               srcTaskFlowPageDef,
                                               srcTaskFlowDefinition);

based on this we can create a task flow from existing Task flow template.

First we need to create a .Jsff page, pagedef.xml and taskflow-definition.xml file. Place them in the same folder structure like bellow. 

Then using the about page service api method we can create a task flow.

for this sample we need to add some extra jar files shown below.

you can download the sample project.
