Which Designer?

created by Franck cdsosi in jBPM - View the full discussion

Hi,

 

As said before, I am starting with jBPM. I have several newbee questions about designing business processes with jBPM. I am a bit confused that's why I need help from community !

 

Which designer are we intended to use ?

1- The one inside eclipse supplied with the 5.3.0 Full Package

2- The web designer also coming wiht 5.3.0 Full Package

3- Use the eclipse BPMN 2.0 Plugin as mentionned in the jBPM User Guide (Chap 10)

 

I want to design first (and then execute if possible) a process with some BPMN "components" such as :

Pools

Boundary Events

Message Flow

...

Pools (or Multiple Pools to be more accurate), Message Flows seems to be not available in 1- and 2-.

 

As far as Boundary Events are concerned I thought it was possible to use them inside the web designer as said in http://kverlaen.blogspot.fr/2011/12/jbpm-52-released.html since I am working with jBPM 5.3.

I do not see how to use this functionnality in the web designer... Is it available?

 

The eclipse BPMN 2.0 Plugin seems to offer much more functionnalities for designing processes but if I design with this tool, will I be able to execute it with the jBPM Runtime mainly if I use functionnality not available in standard jBPM designers?

 

What are the best practices according to you?

 

Regards
