Hello to all the members of the JBoss community: it's nice to meet you, after having met one of your members at an event: he was polite and aswered all my questions (even if they were not related to the event). I'm sure here I can breathe the same air and find reliable people :) .
I was looking for a general JBoss SOA Suite community, but I did not find it, so please redirect me if I posted in the wrong place.
My first question here is about a research I'm making these days: I must choose among open-source Software Oriented Architectures, and it seems to me the three complete platforms (they have all the pieces I need) are:
* +*Jboss SOA Suite*+ --> http://www.redhat.com/products/jbossenterprisemiddleware/soa/ http://www.redhat.com/products/jbossenterprisemiddleware/soa/
* +*Apache*+ (it's not a suite but they have all the fundamental pieces)
* +*WSO2 SOA Suite*+ --> http://wso2.com/products/platforms http://wso2.com/products/platforms
My conclusion on these platforms are that:
* +*JBoss*+ is backed by a *big and active community (in which I'm gladly posting now)*, and it is the first I've heard of. The only downside I found is that its *ESB cannot match services' multiple endpoints* - in other words it matches only one endpoint per service;
* +*Apache*+ has a *great community* too, and has *Tuscany SCA (Service Component Architecture)*[ http://tuscany.apache.org/ http://tuscany.apache.org/] - WSO2 and JBoss do not have a SCA middleware (tell me if I'm wrong here);
* +*WSO2*+ has a *complete suite* (it seems it has all SOA's middleware pieces) except for the SCA. Here the downside is that *the community is only of 350 members* - they declare that they've joined Apache projects, but I don't think Apache community supports directly their products.
If my research brought me to incorrect conclusion, tell me where I've misunderstood something, and if you think it's incomplete and there are alternative that need to be taken into account it will be much useful to know which they are. I did not mention single pieces (like Bonita's BPM [http://www.bonitasoft.com/], for instance) because I think building up an SOA would be easier if I start with a suite and then I change some pieces. If you think it's not the correct approach, I'll be glad to take into consideration any alternative you're going to show me.
----
Here are the pieces I did not found on the platforms:
* +*Jboss*+: Business Activity Monitoring (BAM), Service Component Architecture (SCA) WSO2: SCA: +if you can suggest me alternatives or ideas to overcome this limits, your feedback will be fundamental.+
* +*Apache*+: development tool (maybe Eclipse should be used), Business Process Management (BPM), Business Rules, Registry
* +*WSO2*+: SCA.
----
+This question is a general community-independent question. Here I would like to ask you in particular *which are the reasons because of which I should choose JBoss as the solution of my problem* - I will consider any point: technical, community-related or human.+
Thanks in advance to everyone,
I hope we'll find occasions to collaborate and creating something new (and great as well :p ),
+someone who's still learning+

[jBPM] - Re: How to complete custom Work Item Handler

Hi,
I had a similar scenario. I took the following approach.
- I created my own DB table for my CustomWorkItemHandler. i maintained the Session ID, Process Instance ID, WorkItem ID, and state (as needed by you). Everytime the workitemhandler is executed, it will update the DB table . Note that it DOES not complete or abort the work item.
- In my case i had an external event to complete the work item. Upon receipt of the event, i loaded the persisted ksession, then performed a completeWorkitem for the specific work item ID. I got the work item ID as part of the external event.
This is basically how the Human task works. I had picked the idea from there. HumanTask however is much more complex; while this is a much more simple case.

[jBPM] - Re: Is SessionID & ProcessID required to complete WorkItem ?

Hi Vikas,
I have been using JBPM 5.2 in a similar environment. My understanding is as follows
- Session ID: The session is a global repository where you store common data across processes. This comes into play only when you are using Rule (Which is why is is a knowledge repository). If you are using JBPM purely for execution of workflow (i.e. just graph execution), the JBPM session ID is not of much relavence. I would still recommend you use the same session ID to complete a work item (Just to keep the JBPM data consistent).
- Process ID - This is a unique ID for each process instance. The nodes execute in the context of a process. Hence this is of relavence. When you complete a work item, the work item id is sufficient. This is because, the work item Tables in JBPM DB have a reference to the Process instance id. hence this is known to JBPM.
- Work Item ID : Self explanatory i guess.
Regarding how KSession works in a clustered environment. There are multipe approaches to this. What i have opted for is to use a separate KSession for each process instance. (Purely because i do not use any rules). Other approaches i have come across in the forums are to use a specific KSession for each server instance in your cluster. All processes that execute in a server will use the same ksession. Their process instances will be different.
The approach you take should be based on how you are using JBPM.
Happy working.. Its always hard for the first few who start using a new Technology. But i am sure its worth the effort :)
Cheers !

[jBPM] - JBPM5 - Using Signal Events with sub-processes.

Hi guys,
I have a simple workflow that contains a sub-process. I have a signal event attached to the sub-process which I plan to signal externally,
However, when I attempt to signal the event within eclipse using ksession.signalEvent("SignalProceed", *null*); nothing is happening and the process is not moving on.
I have searched around and can not find much / if any information or examples of how to invoke events attached to sub-processes,
I’ve attached my BPMN2 file and am invoking the process via Eclipse using:
*public* *void* test_SignalSubProcess() *throws* Exception {
KnowledgeBase kbase = createKnowledgeBase("TR_SignalSubProcess.bpmn2");
StatefulKnowledgeSession ksession = createKnowledgeSession(kbase);
ProcessInstance processInstance = ksession.startProcess("defaultPackage.TR_SignalSubProcessTest", buildParameters());
ksession.signalEvent("SignalProceed", *null*);
+assertTrue+(processInstance.getState() == ProcessInstance.+STATE_COMPLETED+);
}
Any help with this would be greatly appreciated,
Thanks - Tom
