Hi everyone there,
I have to implement workflow in a custom portlet . In the portlet a form is submitted by the content creater.
This data is to be reviewed by the Content reviewer then only it must be published on the website i.e then only the data must be add into the table so that further manipulation can be done on the data.
I had used the following approach as suggested by Praven .
1) Created a form in Data list using new data defination.
2) Defined a work flow single approver.

The work flow works fine .
But the problem is that the data must be saved into the custom tables. Not in the Liferay default tables.
Attached are some screen shots

Hi, if you want to provide work flow for your custom portlet go through this post http://www.cignex.com/articles/applying-advanced-workflow-custom-assets-liferay-6
It may help

Thanks and regards

You can try XMLPortletFactory. It creates automagically portlets with workflow enabled only by changing an XML.

With Liferay 6.1 Dynamic Data List feature you will store data in Liferay Tables only. If you need to store it in custom tables then you have to go with Liferay Portlet developement.

Check the new version, it's even better.
