[overlord-issues] [JBoss JIRA] (BAM-111) Graphical representation of the current status of a conversation instance

Graphical representation of the current status of a conversation instance ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Key: BAM-111 URL: https://issues.jboss.org/browse/BAM-111 Project: Business Activity Monitoring Issue Type: Feature Request Reporter: Gary Brown Assignee: Gary Brown Fix For: 1.0.0.M4 Attachments: CommsDiagStyle.gliffy, CommsDiagStyle.png, FlowDiagStyle.gliffy, FlowDiagStyle.png Initially the Savara web console will display a conversation instance as a table of activity events. This task will provide a graphical status view of the conversation instance, showing the execution path taken, and if still active, where the instance is currently in its execution. Although BPMN2 is the principle choreography representation that will be used, not all choreographies will be defined with a BPMN2 choreography - so we need to consider how this graphical representation will be defined. One approach may be to derive a BPMN2 like representation, based on the global Scribble protocol definition, as this will be the canonical representation used for all conversations being monitored. It would also be simpler than the BPMN2 original - just depends whether users would expect to see if based on the original representation. The other approach would be to only support graphical representation where a BPMN2 choreography has been defined, and provide a faithful graphical representation of the original choreography. To be decided .... However the same approach could be used as with RiftSaw - generate SVG images as snapshots of the state, and if the state changes while displaying, then just generate a new image.
