Remember that it's tough for me to remember all the posts for
everyone. Without a bit of context, I get lost, but this mail is OK.

At first, a small basic question, why do you want to modify OpenWFE's
webclient ? You could write your own from scratch in whatever language
you want (perl, php, ruby, python, java,...)
But I understand that just modifying the webclient a bit is 'cheaper'
for you. (And it's easy for anyone with a bit of web development
skills to 'make it nicer').

It's around line 661 in input.py, just search for the string 'BooleanInput'.

Something like
<%= ifwi.getAttributes().sget("filename") %>
Look at editWorkitem-body.jsp, the variable ifwi is of class
InFlowWorkItem, you can access its payload by doing
ifwi.getAttributes().

It's easier to get it from editWorkitem-body.jsp.
Input.py is a set of jython code, on top of the webclient. I used
jython as it was really fast for prototyping the 'automatic' form
generated for the workitems.

It just reads like java sometimes.
There's a new [g]webclient under development at :
http://svn.sourceforge.net/viewcvs.cgi/openwfe/trunk/openwfe/gwebclient/
http://jmettraux.wordpress.com/2006/06/05/gwebclient/
But this takes some time, I'm busy on other projects.
Best regards,
John
