12. TASKS AWESOME
13. TASKS MODULE completely self contained CE Bundle
14. DEMO
15. Create a Task ! ! Task task = new Task(); ! // this maps to
your task definition task.setName(yourTask); ! // relevant data for
e.g. displaying in the Pulse. task.setContent(new HashMap() {{
.put(some, data) }}); ! // set actors task.setActorIds(susan,
peter) ! tasksManager.addTask(task);
16. Use TaskManger ! /** * Inject the TaskManager into your
classes. */ @Inject public MyClass(TasksManager tasksManager) {
this.taskManager = taskManager } !

{ ! private static final Logger log =
LoggerFactory.getLogger(LogWorkItemHandler.class); ! @Override
public void executeWorkItem(WorkItem workItem, WorkItemManager
manager) { String parameter = (String)
workItem.getParameter("whatever"); ! log.error(parameter);
manager.completeWorkItem(workItem.getId(), new HashMap()); } Work !
@Override Item Handler public void abortWorkItem(WorkItem workItem,
WorkItemManager manager) { ! } }
