Modify workflowModel.xml in Alfresco - workflow

Question

I want to change some data in workflowModel.xml (set the default value of requiredApprovePercent to 100).
Of course I'm not supposed to change the file in tomcat, I need to override it in my eclipse project.
Do I need to register the model in a context file, and in which directory am I supposed to put the file in my eclipse project?
I would appreciate any help

Answer 1

if you're going to create a custom workflow model you need Alfresco to pick it up when starting. So yesm you need to deploy it with:
<bean id="myworkflows.workflowBootstrap" parent="workflowDeployer">
<property name="models">
<list>
<-- Task Model associated with above process definition -->
<value>alfresco/workflow/customModel.xml</value>
</list>
</property>
<property name="workflowDefinitions">
<props>
<prop key="engineId">activiti</prop>
<prop key="location">alfresco/extension/customModel.bpmn2.0.xml</prop>
<prop key="mimetype">text/xml</prop>
<prop key="redeploy">false</prop>
</props>
</property>
</bean>
Or something similar in the context file (tomcat/shared/classes/alfresco/extension is the path where you want your custom files to be.
This is also a great link to start working with workflows in Alfresco.
Hope it helps a little bit.
