Windchill workflow customization

Is it possible to complete a workflow task programmatically using Java code?

For example, I would like to complete a Change Notice task programmatically rather than through the user interface. Is this supported? If so, could you please provide some guidance on how this can be achieved?

 

Best Regards,

Sample code:

                   WorkItem workItem = (WorkItem) persistable;
                    WTPrincipalReference user;
                    String routId;
                    WfActivity wfActivity = (WfActivity) workItem.getSource().getObject();
                    WfProcess wfProcess = wfActivity.getParentProcess();
                    // check activity if complete.
                    if (!workItem.isComplete()) {
                        // complete workitem                      
                        String comments = "";
                        List<String> eventList = new ArrayList<String>();
                        eventList.add(routId);
                        WorkflowHelper.service.workComplete(workItem, user, CollectionUtil.toVector(eventList));
                        WfEventHelper.createVotingEvent(null, wfActivity, workItem, user, comments,CollectionUtil.toVector(eventList),false, workItem.isRequired());
                        wfProcess = (WfProcess) PersistenceHelper.manager.refresh(wfProcess);
                    }
