In the code I start the server like this: taskService = new TaskService(emf, SystemEventListenerFactory.getSystemEventListener()); taskSession = taskService.createSession(); taskSession.addUser(myuser); server = new MinaTaskServer(taskService); and I invoke it only once - startup of application. so you mean that I can write taskSession.addGroup(myuser); while the server is running will add it to db? -------------------------------------------------------------- Reply to this message by going to Community [http://community.jboss.org/message/584385#584385] Start a new discussion in jBPM at Community [http://community.jboss.org/choose-container!input.jspa?contentType=1&...]

My point is, and probably is a very common use case, to have users and groups in a external source, like DB or LDAP, forcing a replication of this data to TaskServer DB. Any thought? -------------------------------------------------------------- Reply to this message by going to Community [http://community.jboss.org/message/584474#584474] Start a new discussion in jBPM at Community [http://community.jboss.org/choose-container!input.jspa?contentType=1&...]

Is there any sample or tutorial for LDAP/JBPM5? Many thanks. -------------------------------------------------------------- Reply to this message by going to Community [http://community.jboss.org/message/588010#588010] Start a new discussion in jBPM at Community [http://community.jboss.org/choose-container!input.jspa?contentType=1&...]

I do not see the UserProfileManager class (the one, the custom implementation of UserProfileRepository interface is supposed to be plugged in) to be used at all. Furthermore, the org.jbpm.task.User object is hardcoded to be an entity in a local database and since Task entity has a reference to the User object, the very moment TaskServiceSession.addTask() tries to persist the Task object for user, which is not in the local database, exception inevitably fires: java.sql.BatchUpdateException: Cannot add or update a child row: a foreign key constraint fails (`taskserver`.`task`, CONSTRAINT `FK27A9A59E619A0` FOREIGN KEY (`createdBy_id`) REFERENCES `organizationalentity` (`id`)) The bottom line: all users must be replicated in the task server database. Definitely not the way to go, and this is probably why all the classes in the org.jbpm.userprofile exist. But I do not see how one could make any use of the org.jbpm.userprofile package at all. So, could you please describe, what is the recommended way to integrate the task server with an external user repository?

Finally I had to patch the jbpm code to allow subclassing of the TaskService, see https://issues.jboss.org/browse/JBPM-3074 https://issues.jboss.org/browse/JBPM-3074 and implemented custom SeamTaskService, which provides a method for replication of user/groups database from Seam IdentityStore. I have no idea whether JBPM-3074 patch is included into jbpm though. We do not use jbpm any more. I have tried using multiple open source BPMN engines and I found that the common approach, the "executable XML" is not practical, at least for me. I prefer good old plain Java instead of complicated puzzle made of plugins, property dialog boxes and code snippets written in scripting languages. I implement BPMN nodes as annotated POJOs being handled by a simple BPMN engine, which consults BPMN XML only to route tokens between the nodes (POJOs) automatically instantinating and persisting the nodes. -------------------------------------------------------------- Reply to this message by going to Community [http://community.jboss.org/message/617017#617017] Start a new discussion in jBPM at Community [http://community.jboss.org/choose-container!input.jspa?contentType=1&...]

You may develop (and if you are serious about jbpm you will probably have to) your own implementation of WorkItemHandler. As a matter of fact, WS-HumanTask specification is not a part of BPMN at all. In my opnion, WS-HumanTask is overgeneralized description of human task life cycle, using it makes sense only if you use a complete WS-HT compatible package featuring user interface and user interface development tools. If you plan building your own user interface, introducing WS-HT server component would be probably unnecessary complication. +re. Your new approach seems interesting. Have you considered releasing your work publicly?+ It is released as open source (Apache v. 2.0 license). Just check my profile for the link. I interested in further info, I would suggest using PM, this is jbpm forum after all. By the way, to avoid false impression of me criticising jBPM: I have spent several months implementing pilot projects using several open source BPMN engines and, if forced (by customer, contract etc) to pick the winner, I would stick to jBPM - it was the only package I was comfortable to work with. Not a completely "smoke and mirrors" (Bonita), no ties with VMware/Spring  (Activiti), based on mature software (Drools), to be supported by JBoss (at least this is what mentioned several times here)...

I don't know about the user profile manager. But for 5.2, you have an interface called org.jbpm.task.service.UserGroupCallback. When an operation to task server is done it will check in the defined implementation whether the user or grupo exists, and get the users of the groups. You can write an implementation of this simple interface, and set the system property jbpm.usergroup.callback with the name of your class (or user a .properties file), and then you will have the integration between your enterprise security framework and jbpm6. Hope this helps, Demian -------------------------------------------------------------- Reply to this message by going to Community [http://community.jboss.org/message/644229#644229] Start a new discussion in jBPM at Community [http://community.jboss.org/choose-container!input.jspa?contentType=1&...]
