Customizing HTML-Dojo Forms for Human Tasks in Business Space

WebSphere Process Server includes Business Space powered by WebSphere, which provides an integrated user experience for business users. The Human Task Management widgets allow business users and managers to interact with business processes and human tasks.

The Task Information widget is used to initiate services, create, work on, view or check human tasks. The widget uses a task form specification that is associated with a human task for rendering the form and its content.

The user interface generators in WebSphere Integration Developer can be used to generate task forms based on either HTML with Dojo Toolkit or Lotus Forms. User interface developers often need to customize the generated HTML-Dojo forms for specific customer scenarios.

This paper describes various aspects of the generated HTML-Dojo form, such as its structure, how input and output messages are displayed, the embedded Cascading Style Sheets (CSS) information, and how input fields are handled. It then goes on to describe some typical ways in which you can customize the generated form, such as using alternative style sheets, integrating JavaScript code and custom widgets, and providing event handlers.
