Re: JBPM5 EL Expression

Hi Maciej,

 

Based on your advice above I was able to make an implementation. This only works for condition expressions at the moment. But, I have been having an issue with the registration and usage of the dialect.

 

below is how I register it. This is done just before creating the KnoledgeBase

ProcessDialectRegistry.setDialect("jexl", new ELProcessDialect());

 

The xml is as follows:

<sequenceFlow id="case15" sourceRef="decision8" targetRef="prompt9">

            <conditionExpression xsi:type="tFormalExpression" language="jexl"> ${response['resultSet'] != null &amp;&amp; response['resultSet'][0][0] &gt; 0}      </conditionExpression>

</sequenceFlow>

 

But this does not work.

 

If do the following it works perfectly.

ProcessDialectRegistry.setDialect("mvel", new ELProcessDialect());

 

The xml is as follows:

<sequenceFlow id="case15" sourceRef="decision8" targetRef="prompt9">

            <conditionExpression xsi:type="tFormalExpression"> ${response['resultSet'] != null &amp;&amp; response['resultSet'][0][0] &gt; 0}      </conditionExpression>

</sequenceFlow>

 

I realize that from the core xml parser there are some checks for languages and anything other than java, xpath, rule then there is an exception.

With some assistance I would be able to make the correct implementation and also for node support.

 

Attached is source.

note: I used the Apache Commons JEXL 2.0.1 library
