Access to component parameters

[Former Community Member]

How do I access component parameters?



For example, I have a simple workflow that converts tif files to PDF using a watched folder.



It works fine, but I want to log the name of the file. I can do the logging (using a custom component and log4j) but I don't know how to access the name of the file that is being converted.



In general, how do you access component parameters from a custom component?



Thank you,

If you tiff is stored in a document varible you can use the following xPath to get the file name associated with it :



getDocAttribute(/process_data/@inputDocument, "file").

I'm not sure exactly what you mean here.

I think the correct way to get the document name is

getDocAttribute(/process_data/@inputDocument,"wsfilename")

Jasmine was missing the ws part!

I've been successfully using "file" and not "wsfilename".



I've never tries "wsfilename". It could very well work as well.



This also how they use it in the sample that ships with the product( usgin "file".
