Please excuse this question as I amvery new to BPM
My problem is I am not able to get initial datarequired to start process
That is for example if my process is likethis
Process name Taxi Booking
Start ---> human task (Book Taxi) --->human task (Approve or reject) ---> End.
User will access web form and enter bookingdetail
On submit
Application will **START** the JBPMProcess....
But the problem is our web form is dynamic ...so how do I get List of "Parameter
Mapping" of the fist human taskwithout even starting the process.
I searched process API, but it does notprovide me detail of task till I don’t start the
process..
Please help Thank you

If you want to start your process you will need to use an start event.
If your first task collect the booking information you can send that information using the
method
ksession.startProcess("process.id", parameters);
Where parameters is a Map<String, Object> that contains the information to
initialize the process.
If you don't want to do that, you need to start first the process with any parameters
and then present the first task to the user to complete the booking information.
Greetings.

Thank you for the quick reply,
I am sorry if my question was not clear..
I need to know what are the parameter i need to pass to start the process
>ksession.startProcess("process.id", parameters);
>Where parameters is a Map<String, Object> that contains the information to
initialize the process.
use case is very standard use case ..
user will select a process to start , for example taxi booking,
UI will be created dynamicaly, based upon what kind of parametr has to be passed to start
the process,
and then upon submit we will start the process,
But as you have said
>If you don't want to do that, you need to start first the
process with any parameters and then present the first task to the user to complete the
booking information.
in this manner we will have many orphan process as maybe user will simply open booking
screen and then browse away from the page

If there is no API then how about this hack
For the process
> Start ---> human task (Book Taxi)--->human task (Approve or
reject) ---> End.
I will also parse the BPM file and try toread first human task from the process (only for
human task initiated process).And read the first human task "Parameter Mapping",
which I canuse later to build my UI.
is it an overkill is there an API.. Which takes processID and provides complete task path
whichare present in BPM file
