Hi Phillip,



Basically, what I am looking for is the ability to write the name of the person who approved the stage that the workflow document is at.



I did add some code to my source. The only part I'm questioning is whether or not cycling through all of the States is necessary. Here is the code that I added:



<b>State.java</b>



final static String APPROVED_BY_FIELD = "rwfApprovedByField";



/**

• Return the value in the Approved By field associated with the state
  
• This method will return the value in the Approved By field. The intent of the field
  
• is to essentially be used to write the name of the person who approved the current state
  
• @return The field value from the state
  
  */
  
  public String getApprovedByField()
  
  {
  
  try
  
  {
  
  if (stateDoc.hasItem(State.APPROVED_BY_FIELD))
  
  {
  

  return stateDoc.getItemValueString(State.APPROVED_BY_FIELD);<br/>
  

  }
  
  }catch(NotesException e){e.printStackTrace();}
  
  return null;
  
  }
  
  
  
  <b>Approver.java</b>
  
  
  
  /**
  
• Set the name of the current approver in the context document
  
• The value of the approvedByField can be taken from an existing State document
  
• and the State class has a method specifically for returning this value.
  
• 
  
• @param approvedByField The field to set on the underlying context document
  
  */
  
  public void setApprovedByField(String approvedByField)
  
  {
  
  try
  
  {
  

  String n = ses.getUserName();<br/>
  /// grab the username from the REMOTE_USER cgi variable for web apps.<br/>
  if(doc.hasItem(&quot;REMOTE_USER&quot;) &amp;&amp; doc.getItemValueString(&quot;REMOTE_USER&quot;) != null){<br/>
      n = doc.getItemValueString(&quot;REMOTE_USER&quot;);  <br/>
      if(doc.getItemValueString(&quot;REMOTE_USER&quot;).trim().equals(&quot;&quot;)){n = &quot;Anonymous&quot;;}   <br/>
  }<br/>
  else<br/>
  {<br/>
     // we want the name to look nice, so write the abbreviated<br/>
     // version<br/>
      Name currentUser = ses.createName(n);<br/>
      n = currentUser.getAbbreviated();<br/>
  }<br/>
  doc.replaceItemValue(approvedByField, n);<br/>
  

  }
  
  catch (NotesException e)
  
  {
  
  }
  
  }
  
  
  
  <b>WorkflowDocument.java</b>
  
  
  
  /**
  
• Set the approved by field for the workflow document
  
  */
  
  public void setApprovedBy()
  
  {
  
  // Note: I'm a little unsure about the cycling through the States - Eric
  
  for(Iterator it=states.iterator(); it.hasNext(); )
  
  {
  

  State s = (State)it.next();<br/>
  String approvedByField = s.getApprovedByField();<br/>
  <br/>
  approver.setApprovedByField(approvedByField);<br/>
  

  }
  
  }
  
  
  
  And one modification to the processContextDoc method:
  
  WorkflowDocument wfd = new WorkflowDocument(doc);
  
  boolean save = false;
  
  if(wfd.runValidation()){
  

  if(wfd.hasChangedStatus()){<br/>
      wfd.setApprovers();<br/>
      wfd.setAuthors();<br/>
      wfd.setReaders();<br/>
      wfd.sendMail();<br/>
      wfd.setHistory();<br/>
      wfd.setApprovedBy(); // &lt;-- I added this part<br/>
  }<br/>
  

  
  
  Of course, finally you need to modify the State document to include a field with the name "rwfApprovedByField".
  
  
  
  Thanks,
