Implement custom workflow components for AEM Cloud Service: WorkflowProcess, ParticipantStepChooser, OSGi registration, metadata handling, and error patterns.
org.osgi.service.component.annotations.*). Do not use Felix SCR.ui.apps content package and is deployed via Cloud Manager pipeline.Development Progress
- [ ] 1) Identify what the step does: process (auto) or participant (human) or dynamic participant
- [ ] 2) Create Java class implementing WorkflowProcess or ParticipantStepChooser
- [ ] 3) Register with correct @Component annotation and service property (process.label / chooser.label)
- [ ] 4) Read step arguments from MetaDataMap args (set in model editor)
- [ ] 5) Access payload via item.getWorkflowData().getPayload().toString()
- [ ] 6) Read/write workflow instance metadata via item.getWorkflowData().getMetaDataMap()
- [ ] 7) Return normally to advance; throw WorkflowException to trigger retry
- [ ] 8) Deploy bundle; verify process.label appears in Workflow Model Editor step picker@Component(
service = WorkflowProcess.class,
property = {
"process.label=My Custom Process Step",
"service.description=Short description of what this step does"
}

String payloadPath = data.getPayload().toString();
// 2. Read step arguments

// 3. Read/write shared workflow metadata

Always use a service user sub-service.Session.save() on the workflow session's JCR session for payload changes — use a separate ResourceResolver obtained from resolverFactory.getServiceResourceResolver().PROCESS_AUTO_ADVANCE=false in the model metaData and use TaskWorkflowProcess or an external completion mechanism..tessl-plugin
