In case of a human task, it should be clear that the responsibility + is outside of the process system. This means that for the process, a human task is a wait state. + The execution will have to wait until the person provides the external trigger that the task + is completed or submitted. + </para> + <figure id="tasks"> + <title>Overview of the link between processes and tasks.</title> + <mediaobject><imageobject><imagedata align="center" fileref="images/tasks.png"/></imageobject></mediaobject> + </figure> + <para>In the picture above, the typical link between process execution and tasks is + represented. When an execution arrives in a task node, a task is created in a task component. + Typically such a task will end up in a task table somewhere in the task component's + database. Then users can look at their task lists. A task list is then a filter on + the complete task list based on the task's assigned user column. When the user completes + the task, the execution is signalled and typically leaves the node in the process. + </para> + <para>A task management component keeps track of tasks for people. To integrate human tasks + into a process, we need an API to create new tasks and to get notifications of task + completions. The following example might have only a rudimentary integration between + between process execution and the task management component, but the goal is to show + the interactions as clearly as possible. Real process languages like jPDL have a + much better integration between process execution and tasks, resulting in more complexity. + </para> + <para>For this example we'll first define a simplest task component with classes + <literal>Task</literal> and <literal>TaskComponent</literal>: + </para> + <programlisting>public class <emphasis role="bold">Task</emphasis> { + public String userId; + public String taskName; + public Execution execution; + + public Task(String userId, String taskName, Execution execution) { + this.userId = userId; + this.taskName = taskName; + this.execution = execution; + } + + public void <emphasis role="bold">complete</emphasis>() { + execution.signal(); + } +}</programlisting> + <para>This task has public fields to avoid the getters and setters. The taskName property + is the short description of the task. The userId is a reference to the user that is + assigned to this task. And the execution is a reference to the execution to which this + task relates. When a task completes it signals the execution. + </para> + <para>The next task component manages a set of tasks. + </para> + <programlisting>public class TaskComponent { + + static List&lt;Task&gt; tasks = new ArrayList&lt;Task&gt;(); + + public static void createTask(String taskName, Execution execution) { + String userId = assign(taskName, execution); + tasks.add(new Task(userId, taskName, execution)); + } + + private static String assign(String taskName, Execution execution) { + return "johndoe"; + } + + public static List&lt;Task&gt; getTaskList(String userId) { + List&lt;Task&gt; taskList = new ArrayList&lt;Task&gt;(); + for (Task task : tasks) { + if (task.userId.equals(userId)) { + taskList.add(task); + } + } + return taskList; + } +}</programlisting> + <para>To keep this example short, this task component is to be accessed through + static methods. The assigning tasks is done hard coded to "johndoe". Tasks + can be created and tasklists can be extracted by userId. Next we can look at + the node behaviour implementation of a TaskActivity. + </para> + <programlisting>public class <emphasis role="bold">TaskActivity</emphasis> implements ExternalActivity { + + public void <emphasis role="bold">execute</emphasis>(Execution execution) { + // let's use the node name as the task id + String taskName = execution.getNode().getName(); + TaskComponent.createTask(taskName, execution); + } + + public void <emphasis role="bold">signal</emphasis>(Execution execution, String signal, Map&lt;String, Object&gt; parameters) { + execution.takeDefaultTransition(); + } + + public Set&lt;SignalDefinition&gt; getSignals(Execution execution) { + return null; + } +}</programlisting> + <para>The task node works as follows. When an execution arrives in a task node, + the execute method of the TaskActivity is invoked. The execute method will then + take the node name and use it as the task name. Alternatively, 'taskName' could + be a configuration property on the TaskActivity class. The task name is then used + to create a task in the task component. Once the task is created, the execution + is not propagated which means that the execution will wait in this node till + a signal comes in. + </para> + <para>When the task is completed with the Task.complete() method, it will + signal the execution. The TaskActivity's signal implementation will take + the default transition. + </para> + <para>This is how a process can be build with a task node: + </para> + <programlisting>ProcessDefinition processDefinition = ProcessFactory.build("task") + .node("initial").initial().behaviour(new AutomaticActivity()) + .transition().to("shred evidence") + .<emphasis role="bold">node("shred evidence").behaviour(new TaskActivity())</emphasis> + .transition().to("next") + .node("next").behaviour(new WaitState()) +.done();</programlisting> + <para>When a new execution is started, the initial node is an automatic activity. + So it will immediately propagate to the task node the task will be created and + the execution will stop in the 'shred evidence' node. + </para> + <programlisting>Execution execution = processDefinition.startExecution(); + +assertEquals("shred evidence", execution.getNode().getName()); + +Task task = TaskComponent.getTaskList("johndoe").get(0);</programlisting> + <para>Next, time can elapse until the human user is ready to complete the task. + In other words, the thread of control is now with 'johndoe'. When John + completes his task e.g. through a web UI, then this should result into an + invocation of the complete method on the task. + </para> + <programlisting>task.complete(); + +assertEquals("next", execution.getNode().getName());</programlisting> + <para>The invocation of the complete method cause the execution to take the + default transition to the 'next' node. + </para> + </section> + +</chapter> Property changes on: jbpm4/trunk/modules/manual/src/main/tutorial/en/modules/ExamplesToIncorporate.xml ___________________________________________________________________ Name: svn:keywords + Id Revision Name: svn:eol-style + LF Added: jbpm4/trunk/modules/manual/src/main/tutorial/en/modules/ch01-GettingStarted.xml =================================================================== --- jbpm4/trunk/modules/manual/src/main/tutorial/en/modules/ch01-GettingStarted.xml (rev 0) +++ jbpm4/trunk/modules/manual/src/main/tutorial/en/modules/ch01-GettingStarted.xml 2008-10-29 16:08:20 UTC (rev 2662) @@ -0,0 +1,137 @@ +<chapter id="gettingstarted"> + <title>Getting started</title> + + <para>This tutorial is the best way to get started with the Process + Virtual Machine.

Examples of languages that have been built on top of this library: + </p><div class="itemizedlist"><ul><li>jPDL: Workflow language that combines powerful human task capabilities with easy binding to Java.</li><li>BPEL: Web-Service orchestration (to be exact for the purists: BPEL is a WSDL service orchestration language)</li><li>Pageflow: To describe navigation handling in a web application, pages can be seen as nodes and the nagivation between the pages as transitions.</li><li>XPDL: A graph based process language standardized by the Workflow Management Coalition (WfMC)</li></ul></div><p>Even while the nature of these languages is already very diverse, these are + all examples of general purpose workflow languages. The real power of the + Process Virtual Machine is that it's very easy to build Domain Specific Languages (DSL) + with it. For instance, it's very easy to build a very simple (and dedicated) workflow + language to specify approvals related to documents in a document management system. + </p><p>BPM as a discipline refers to the management level effort to optimise efficiency + of an organisation by analysing and optimising the procedures of how people and systems + work together. In designing the Process Virtual Machine and the jPDL language + in particular, we have spend great care on facilitating the link between BPM analysis + notations and executable process languages. Here are the most known modeling notations: + </p><div class="itemizedlist"><ul><li>BPMN: OMG latest notation for modeling business processes. + This is a modeling notation that is targetted explicitely to be bound + to executable processes. + </li><li>UML activity diagrams: OMG notation for modeling business + processes. Mostly used in business context.</li><li>UML state diagrams: OMG modeling notation for defining technical + state machines. More used in a technical context.</li><li>EPC: Event driven process chains.

Typically + transactions combining the process execution and processing the request from the + UI takes typically less then a second. Whereas the wait state in business processes + typically can span for hours, days or even years. The clue is to clearly distinct + when a wait state starts so that only the computational work done before the start + of that wait state should be included in the transaction. + </p><p>Think of + it this way: "When an approval arrives, what are all the automated processing that + needs to be done before the process system needs to wait for another external + trigger?" Unless pdf's need to be generated or mass emails need to be send, + the amount of time that this takes is usually neglectable. That is why in the + default persistent execution mode, the process work is executed in the thread + of the client. + </p><p>This reasoning even holds in case of concurrent paths of execution. + When a single path of execution splits into concurrent paths of execution, + the process overhead of calculating that is neglectable. So that is why it + makes sense for a fork or split activity implementation that targets persistent + execution mode to spawn the concurrent paths sequentially in the same thread. + Basically it's all just computational work as part of the same transaction. + This can only be done because the fork/split knows that each concurrent path + of execution will return whenever a wait state is encountered. + </p><p>Since this is a difficult concept to grasp, I'll explain it again with other + words. Look at it from the overhead that is produced by the process execution + itself in persistent execution mode. If in a transaction, an execution is given + an external trigger and that causes the execution to split into multiple concurrent + paths of execution. Then the process overhead of calculating this is neglectable. + Also the overhead of the generated SQL is neglectable. And since all the work done + in the concurrent branches must be done inside that single transaction, there is + typically no point in having fork/split implementations spawn the concurrent + paths of execution in multiple threads. + </p><p>To make executable processes, developers need to know exactly what the automatic activities + are, what the wait states are and which threads will be allocated to the process execution. + For business analysts that draw the analysis process, things are a bit simpler. For the + activities they draw, they usually know whether it's a human or a system that is responsible. + But they typically don't not how this translates to threads and transactions. + </p><p>So for the developer, the first job is to analyse what needs to be executed + within the thread of control of the process and what is outside. Looking for the external + triggers can be a good start to find the wait states in a process, just like verbs and nouns + can be the rule of thumb in building UML class diagrams. + </p></div><div class="section" lang="en"><div class="titlepage"><div><div><h2 class="title"><a id="d0e1655"/>6.6. Process concurrency</h2></div></div></div><p>To model process concurrency, there is a parent-child tree structure on the + execution.

Activity implementations + like join or merge can stop these concurrent paths of execution by calling + method <code class="literal">stop</code> on the concurrent execution. + </p><p>Only leaf executions can be active. Non-leave executions should be + inactive. This tree structure of executions doesn't enforce a particular type of + concurrency or join behaviour.

Suppose that multiple tasks have to be completed before the + execution is to proceed. The node behaviour can spawn a series of child executions + for this. Or alternatively, the task component could support task groups that + are associated to one single execution.

This + can be thought of as including try-catch blocks in + the method implementations of those implementations. But in order to build more reusable building + blocks for both the delegation classes and the exception handling logic, exception handlers are + added to the core process model. + </p><p>An exception handler can be associated to any process element. When an exception + occurs in a delegation class, a matching exception handler will be searched for. If + such an exception handler is found, it will get a chance to handle the exception. + </p><p>If an exception handler completes without problems, then the exception is considered + handled and the execution resumes right after the delegation code that was called. For example, + a transition has three actions and the second action throws an exception that is handled + by an exception handler, then + </p><p>Writing automatic activities that are exception handler aware is easy. The + default is to proceed anyway. No method needs to be called on the execution. So + if an automatic activity throws an exception that is handled by an exception handler, + the execution will just proceed after that activity. It becomes a big more difficult + for control flow activities. They might have to include try-finally blocks to + invoke the proper methods on the execution before an exception handler gets a + chance to handle the exception. For example, if an activity is a wait state and + an exception occurs, then there is a risk that the thread jumps over the + invocation of <code class="literal">execution.waitForSignal()</code>, causing the execution + to proceed after the activity. + </p><p>TODO: exceptionhandler.isRethrowMasked</p><p>TODO: transactional exception handlers</p><p>TODO: we never catch errors</p></div><div class="section" lang="en"><div class="titlepage"><div><div><h2 class="title"><a id="d0e1725"/>6.8. Process modifications</h2></div></div></div><p>TODO: process modifications</p></div><div class="section" lang="en"><div class="titlepage"><div><div><h2 class="title"><a id="d0e1731"/>6.9. Locking and execution state</h2></div></div></div><p>The state of an execution is either active or locked.
