Michael Wohlfart gave me some good advise to upgrade my project to jBPM 5.0.0 and I am trying to do so. I have the install configured, but the user guide has some holes in it. I was reading through the online version at http://docs.jboss.org/jbpm/v5.0/userguide/ch03.html. In 3.2 it discusses how to create a KnowledgeBuilder, a KnowledgeBase and a StatefulKnowledgeSession. Then it jumps to using a ProcessContext called kcontext. There is no instruction on how to create a kcontext. It is referenced several times in chapter 3. How do I create one of these?
I am trying to take an external message that was received by my application and pass the object to the current state in the process. I already know which process the message is for and have the process instance. In jBPM 4.4 I used to do something like this:
execution = getProcessInstance().findActiveExecutionIn(activityName);
exectuionId = exectuion.getId();
Map Parameters.put("message", msg);
processInstance.signalExectuionById(executionId, "Message", parameters);
What is the best way to accomplish the same thing with 5.0? I assumed this would use the kcontext to get the current node kcontext.getNodeInstance(). Then use that to signal the current state and pass the message to it as I did before. Can anyone point me to either documentation on this or an example. Thanks!
