--------------------------------------------------------------
Thanks Guys. I was able to make something work based on the answers above. It may not be
as clean as it aught to be it is similar to what I have in the JBPM4.
Basically i created a dummy interface... This is just so that the BPMN2 xml won't
scream :)
<itemDefinition id="_2_InMessageType"
structureRef="java.lang.String"/>
<message id="_2_InMessage" itemRef="_2_InMessageType"/>
<interface id="_2_ServiceInterface"
name="com.core.DummyService">
<operation id="_2_ServiceOperation" name="handle">
<inMessageRef>_2_InMessage</inMessageRef>
</operation>
</interface>
...
<serviceTask id="prompt6" name="prompt6"
operationRef="_2_ServiceOperation" implementation="Other">
<ioSpecification>
<dataInput id="prompt6_type" name="type"/>
<dataInput id="prompt6_processItem"
name="processItem"/>
<dataInput id="prompt6_message"
name="message"/>
<dataOutput id="prompt6_result"
name="processItem"/>
<inputSet>
<dataInputRefs>prompt6_type</dataInputRefs>
<dataInputRefs>prompt6_processItem</dataInputRefs>
<dataInputRefs>prompt6_message</dataInputRefs>
</inputSet>
<outputSet>
<dataOutputRefs>prompt6_result</dataOutputRefs>
</outputSet>
</ioSpecification>
<dataInputAssociation>
<targetRef>prompt6_message</targetRef>
<assignment>
<from xsi:type="tFormalExpression">Hello
World!!</from>
<to
xsi:type="tFormalExpression">prompt6_message</to>
</assignment>
</dataInputAssociation>
<dataInputAssociation>
<targetRef>prompt6_type</targetRef>
<assignment>
<from
xsi:type="tFormalExpression">com.core.test.Prompt</from>
<to
xsi:type="tFormalExpression">prompt6_type</to>
</assignment>
</dataInputAssociation>
<dataInputAssociation>
<sourceRef>processItem</sourceRef>
<targetRef>prompt6_processItem</targetRef>
</dataInputAssociation>
<dataOutputAssociation>
<sourceRef>prompt6_result</sourceRef>
<targetRef>processItem</targetRef>
</dataOutputAssociation>
</serviceTask>
Then I created a handler and register it for the Service Task. This will take the process
type parameter and create the necessary class.
@Override
public void executeWorkItem(WorkItem workItem, WorkItemManager manager) {
String className = (String) workItem.getParameter("processType");
try {
Class clazz = Class.forName(className);
Constructor constructor = clazz.getConstructor(Map.class);
ProcessItem processItem =
(ProcessItem)workItem.getParameter("processItem");
Map params = workItem.getParameters();
params.remove("Interface");
params.remove("Operation");
params.remove("ParameterType");
params.remove("processItem");
GenericProcess process =(GenericProcess) constructor.newInstance(params);
Object result = process.execute(processItem);
Map<String, Object> results = new HashMap<String, Object>();
results.put("processItem", result);
System.out.println("=================================\n");
manager.completeWorkItem(workItem.getId(), results);
} catch (ClassNotFoundException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
} catch (InstantiationException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
} catch (IllegalAccessException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
} catch (NoSuchMethodException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
} catch (InvocationTargetException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
Also, I used the timer event to do the state with <on event="timer>
<intermediateCatchEvent id="wait4" name="wait4">
<timerEventDefinition>
<timeDuration>180000</timeDuration>
</timerEventDefinition>
</intermediateCatchEvent>
But I have 1 issue with that. The timer application does not exist after the time is
expired. I think it is still there waiting. (not sure on this)
Also, how do I get the activity (node id) in order to cancel the timer?
