Hi community,
I have several questions on process deployment in jBPM 5.
What are the different options for deploying a process for using it with JAS 7 within jBPM
console for instance?
1- First option is drools-guvnor obsvously
2- This also can be done manualkly as
https://community.jboss.org/people/tsurdilovic
Tihomir told me in a previous post (
https://community.jboss.org/message/751628#751628#751628
https://community.jboss.org/message/751628#751628) :
"You don't really need guvnor for deployment. You could create the .pkg yourself
using drools-ant tasks and push it to your own servers for example and let the client
applications consume it. You could also if you are using the jBPM Console place your
process definitions and artifacts like process image, task forms, dependency jars (such as
service node impls for example) on the console classpath and it will be able to see
them"
Is there any documentation on that 2nd solution or fas or anything else. I really want to
understand how things are working and I must say that it is not the case :(
Where do you put the pkg once made? Actually I can find where the pkg files are located on
server side.
3- I have install 5.3.0 Full package demo one more time and put some bpmn2 processes in
...\jbpm-installer\sample\evaluation\src\main\resources
I thought I would have to put them in drools-guvnor and then build binary package so that
to make them available in jBPM console but I did not and open the jBPM console directly
and all my processes were available, is there anything parameterized in the demo so that
jBPM console automatically scans ...\jbpm-installer\sample\evaluation\src\main\resources
directory? I can't see anything specifying that?
The jbpm.console.directory is empty in
...\jbpm-installer\jboss-as-7.0.2.Final\standalone\deployments\jbpm-gwt-console-server\WEB-INF\classes\jbpm.console.properties
from the jbpm-gwt-console-server.war... Can anyone explain to me that?
4- Another question delaing with deplyment : If I want to create a new Service Task with
custom code Java Code with Domain Specific Service Task running on server, how do i make
it available for process runtime engine. Do I need to make a jar and then what is the
location to drop it so that it can be used at runtime?
Many exemples provided in user documentation seems to be eclipse oriented, I need to make
things working remotly and I can find my way through documentation.
a- in file drools.session.conf from jbpm-gwt-console-server.war you specify which conf
file to use (e.g. drools.workItemHandlers = CustomWorkItemHandlers.conf), correct?
b- in file CustomWorkItemHandlers.conf from jbpm-gwt-console-server.war you specify which
class to instanciate (e.g. "Log": new
org.jbpm.process.instance.impl.demo.SystemOutWorkItemHandler()), correct?
=> this class is located in
...\jbpm-installer\jboss-as-7.0.2.Final\standalone\deployments\jbpm-gwt-console-server\WEB-INF\lib\jbpm-flow-5.3.0.Final.jar
Do I need to put the jar in the
jbpm-installer\jboss-as-7.0.2.Final\standalone\deployments\jbpm-gwt-console-server\WEB-INF\lib
directory and then re-package it as a war (jbpm-gwt-console-server.war). Is this the case
does JAS needs to be re-started or is there another place for JAS so that modifications
can be updated without needind JAS restart?
Is there a step by step documentation /post / article describing how I can make a personal
Service Task running on server side.
I must say that this makes a huge amount of questions but any help would be appreciated
!!
Kind Regards
Franck
