[jbpm-dev] Re: gpd 3.1.7 release

Hi Thomas, While testing the deployment of processes from the gpd I came across the fact that the deployment servlet in the previous jBPM releases (3.3.1 and 3.2.5) is now secured. Also, the connection url for the deployment has changed. While the latter is not that much of an issue (as it can be changed in the preferences pages of the designer), the former is very much so. To be able to make this work again I need to be able to provide the credentials in a programmatic way. Maybe you can help me, but I couldn't find an easy way to do so as the logon mechanism used is a jsf specific one. Additionally, there should be a way to change the user and password strings (or store them as preferences). I am not sure if I will be able to incorporate these changes before the release. In addition, as argued in https://jira.jboss.org/jira/browse/GPD-278 and the other related issues, we need to keep the out-of-the-box experience as smooth as possible for our community users, so IMO the upload servlet does not need to be protected as the SOA platform removes the servlet for production use. I am not sure if creating a new GPD makes sense if users will not be able to deploy their processes. Regards, Koen
