Determine the User Who Starts A jBPM Workflow for OpenKM

Question

I have created a workflow with Eclipse for OpenKM successfully. Now, I need to know how to get a reference to the user that started the workflow for the file/folder. Is there a way to use the executionContext object or even capture the username via an expression?

Yes your code helped me while define swimelane in my workflow project to get the workflow initiator name. I used below assignment in my ActionHandler workflow java class Thanks

    try {
        String actorName = null;
        actorName = executionContext.getJbpmContext().getActorId();
        }
    catch (Exception e) {
        actorName = "Unknown";
        e.printStackTrace();
        System.out.println("Error: unable determine initiator");
        }
