Hi,
If you are working with SAP system ECC 6.0.Following thread should help you
to resolve the issue.

If you are working with SAP system below ECC 6.0. Following thread should
help to resolve the issue.
https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/weblogs?blog=/pub/wlg/3783
Following is a scenario I did in sandbox which is working fine.
System Version EP 7.0 SP8, NW2004s, R/3 4.6C.
Since (transaction SWFVISU) does not exist in R/3 4.6C. I need to manually
create XML and load into the portal. When using an action handler, at
runtime work items appear in my UWL and have a link to start my Java
webdynpro.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE UWLConfiguration PUBLIC '-//SAP//UWL1.0//EN'
'uwl_configuration.dtd' [
]>
<UWLConfiguration version="1.0">
<ItemTypes>
<ItemType name="uwl.task.webflow.TS90100219.SHD012"
connector="WebFlowConnector" defaultView="DefaultView"
defaultAction="launchWebDynPro" executionMode="default">
<ItemTypeCriteria systemId="SHD012" externalType="TS90100219"
connector="WebFlowConnector"/>
<CustomAttributes>
<CustomAttributeSource id="WEBFLOW_CONTAINER"
objectIdHolder="externalId" objectType="WebFlowContainer"
cacheValidity="default">
<Attribute name="PathNumber" type="string" displayName="Path
Number"/>
<Attribute name="ApproverLevel" type="string"
displayName="Approver Level"/>
</CustomAttributeSource>
<CustomAttributeSource id="ABAP_BOR"
objectIdHolder="externalObjectId" objectType="ZPMT_GRID"
cacheValidity="default">
<Attribute name="SalesOffice" type="string" displayName="Sales
Office"/>
<Attribute name="ProductType" type="string" displayName="Product
Type"/>
<Attribute name="User" type="string" displayName="Owner"/>
<Attribute name="DocumentNumber" type="string"
displayName="Document Number"/>
</CustomAttributeSource>
</CustomAttributes>
<Actions>
<Action name="launchWebDynPro" groupAction=""
handler="SAPWebDynproLauncher" returnToDetailViewAllowed="yes"
launchInNewWindow="yes"
launchNewWindowFeatures="resizable=yes,scrollbars=yes,status=yes,toolbar=no,menubar=no,location=no,directories=no">
<Properties>
<Property name="WebDynproApplication" value="CompInfoApp"/>
<Property name="WebDynproDeployableObject" value="sap.com/test
"/>
<Property name="DynamicParameter" value="wi_id=${item.externalId
}&SALESOFFICE=${item.SalesOffice}&producttype=${item.ProductType
}&documentnumber=${item.DocumentNumber}&User=${item.User
}&PathNumber=${item.PathNumber}&ApproverLevel=${item.ApproverLevel
}"/>
<Property name="System" value="SAP_LocalSystem"/>
</Properties>
<Descriptions default=""/>
</Action>
</Actions>
</ItemType>
</ItemTypes>
</UWLConfiguration>
You can use following coding in the dynpro app which is getting launched
from UWL to capture the work item Id.
Capturing the URL request parameter in the Webdynpro Application. Usually
this is the sample code to capture the Request parameter in Webdynpro for
java.
WDProtocolAdapter.getProtocolAdapter().getRequestObject().getParameter("Your
Request ID");
Want more help let me know.
Regards,
John.

1 Thessalonians 4:11, 12
Make it your ambition to lead a quiet life, to mind your own business and to
work with your hands, just as we told you, so that your daily life may win
the respect of outsiders and so that you will not be dependent on anybody.
