1.4.1. ApprovalHelper Bean

The updateState() method of the ApprovalHelper bean will be invoked from the contract approval process for setting a contract state.

Method parameters:

  • entityId - contract entity identifier

  • state - contract state

Open the project in an IDE. A simple way to do it is to use an IDE button from any section of the Studio navigator, e.g. Project properties.

Create a package com.company.demo.core in the core module. Create ApprovalHelper class in this package.
