Hi Everybody..I am a java programmer and i want to know is there is any way to use my Java skills in Laserfiche workflow ?
Currently, Workflow only supports custom scripts using C# or Visual Basic.
What exactly is it you are trying to do?
I want to perform same task that can be done by
C# or Visual Basic in Laserfiche...
It sounds like you want to request the feature of writing custom scripts using Java. I'll forward the request to the Workflow development team.
Why use Java over C# or VB.NET? Is it a simple preference or is there functionality that C# or VB.Net does not offer? If it's just for interacting with Laserfiche, why add another moving part to mix?
Thanks Mike Wu... I really appreciate it...
Why Java :-
Excellent tooling: IDE, CI, etc.
Vast array of 3rd party libraries.
Huge amount of documentation available.
Large pool of developers available.
Platform ubiquitous.
Excellent performance.
Excellent specification.
Sturdy garbage collection.
Managed memory.
Native threads.
Choice - implemented by multiple vendors.
These are the just some features that i mentioned here...Java is lot more than that...
Right, but all that also applies to .Net and C#. You've mentioned that you only want to use Workflow to interact with Laserfiche, so it not very clear to me what the benefit of adding extra dependencies would be over just using the Laserfiche .Net SDK.
I also would add that the LF SDK Java libraries are not a complete replacement for the LF SDK .Net libraries.
