Why does WCM API getCurrentApprovers method return approvers for prior stage ?
Why does WCM API getCurrentApprovers method return approvers for prior stage ?
Using a custom workflow action which runs when entering a stage. This action makes API call getCurrentApprovers() to get the approvers for the current stage. However, this call is returning the approvers for the previous stage.
Solution:
The getCurrentApprovers() call should be invoked on the content or document passed in to the custom action in the execute(Document p_document) method. Only this object would contain the approvers for the current stage. If instead you use the object which was retrieved from the repository using the inWorkspace.getById() call (in WorkflowUtil class), the object retrieved from the repository would be the one from the previous save and hence it would contain all information for the earlier stage.
This general process/pseudocode to implement:
Get the docId of the content
Create a new Workspace
Set to use DN workspace.useDistinguishedNames(true);
Content myContent =(Content)ws.getById(thisId);
String approvers = myContent.getCurrentApprovers()
