How to override WorkflowConstants in liferay 7?

[Abhishek Jain, modificado hace 7 años.]

I just want to ask how to override WorkflowConstants class in liferay dxp. Does anyone know about it?

[David H Nebinger, modificado hace 7 años.]

You can't and shouldn't.

Constants are known values that the various pieces of portal code will depend upon. If you change them you risk breaking your portal.

Thanks David for your reply.. I am not changing the already existing constants but I want to add a new one. Can I do the same? If yes, how?

[David H Nebinger, modificado hace 7 años.]

No, and no reason to.

The constants are convenience to ensure that the same value is used multiple places in the code. That makes it a build-time tool, not a run time tool.

I often use my own constants classes to affect the same result.

Go ahead and use your own, but there's no reason to think of modifying Liferay's.

Thus I gather it might be unreasonable to introduce STATUS_LOOKBEFOREYOULEAPOFFAITH
