I was under the impression that freemarker template (ftl) files have to be created for user forms. But I was able to run the HelloProcess example discussed in this forum. I believe the XML code creates the user interface form. 1. I tried to read my own ftl file by changing the TaskName property in the XML. I have the Hello.ftl deployed     in the resources directory of the project as I have seen it in an example. But it does not display my form.     It is still reading the hardcoded contents in the XML |   | <dataInputAssociation> | |     | <targetRef>_4_TaskNameInput</targetRef> | |     | <assignment> | |       | <from xsi:type="tFormalExpression">Hello</from> | |       | <to xsi:type="tFormalExpression">_4_TaskNameInput</to> | |     | </assignment> | |   | </dataInputAssociation> | 2. I see a complete button to submit the form. But that is not harcoded anywhere in the XML. Where does it come     from ? The XML file of the BPMN diagram is attached for your reference. I would like to read my own ftl files rather than hardcoding the contents in the XML. In the Developers Guide I saw an example where the ftl file is included in the XML with the following construct. But I do not have any examples on that usage of how input/output is done through the form.     <userTask id="requestVacation" name="Request Vacation"       implementation="other">      <potentialOwner resourceRef="user" jbpm:type="group">         <resourceAssignmentExpression>           <formalExpression>user</formalExpression>         </resourceAssignmentExpression>       </potentialOwner>       <rendering id="requestForm">         <jbpm:form>org/jbpm/examples/bpmn/usertask/taskform/request_vacation.ftl</jbpm:form>       </rendering>     </userTask> Your response will be highly appreciated. -------------------------------------------------------------- Reply to this message by going to Community [https://community.jboss.org/message/738639#738639] Start a new discussion in jBPM at Community [https://community.jboss.org/choose-container!input.jspa?contentType=1&...]
