Mixing BOR objects and OO Classes in WF

[Dart, Jocelyn]

Hi Mike, 
Yes you can convert between the two - I didn't focus on it particularly,
but there are some hints given in the SAP Library Help.   You need to
set up an attribute with a particular type, and also use the include
programs <cntn03> as described, on the ABAP Class side at least.

Subject: Mixing BOR objects and OO Classes in WF

Hi folks,

It seems to me that one of the stumbling blocks to plunging head first
into OO classes for use in workflow is the interoperability between the
two technologies, at least that's what's keeping me only occasionally
dipping my feet into it here and there - especially on my current 620
system.

I'm talking about being able to do things like
Z_CL_WF_APPROVER.EMPLOYEET.EMAIL
or conversely, being able to create a class-type attribute to a BOR
object:
BUS2032.Z_CL_WF_WHATEVER

There's the option of creating wrapper classes for any BOR objects, but
that's too much work. Or has anyone come up with any ideas or
workarounds?
Thanks to Jocelyn's handy hints, I've got a far better grip how/where to
use supply methods and such so it plays nicely with WF in 6.20, but
mixing
BOR into it still seems impossibly painful.

At the risk of sounding backwards, one might say that by creating
classes
we lose all the nice OO functionality we have with BOR Objects :-)

Any thoughts?

Cheers
Mike
