How to access ad-hoc objects in class methods

[Mike Pokraka]

Hi Jocelyn,
Nearly forgot... Yes I did find out some class(y) ways of doing it and
then some. Intresting stuff, a bit long to all post here right now, but
I'll see if I can put a blog together to 'share the love' as Mark is fond
of putting it.

The short of it is:
CL_WF_CONTAINER_WRAPPER is the class equivalent of all the container
macros, completely compatible and can be used in isolation (even in BO's)
- in fact it calls the same FM's as the SWC_* macros.

The more 'pure' class way (mostly nicked from some of the SAP_WAPI code),
and also "not for customer use" is using if_swf_run_wim_internal &
if_swf_cnt_container

Instantiate using:
        o_workitem  = cl_swf_run_wim_factory=>find_by_wiid( lv_wiid ).
        o_container = o_workitem->get_wi_container( ).

Convert to BOR:
        TRY.
            CALL METHOD
              O_CONTAINER->IF_SWF_CNT_CONVERSION~TO_BOR_CONTAINER
              IMPORTING
                VALUES = lt_cont.
          CATCH CX_SWF_CNT_ELEMENT .
        ENDTRY.

Cheers
Mike
