[jboss-dev-forums] [Design of JBoss jBPM] - Re: web console feedback

[tom.baeyens@jboss.com]

here are my findings:

1) The websale got to run.  Functionally I didn't yet made a good separation of functional features that i want in this Alpha2 release and features that can be postponed.  So the goal for Alpha2 is that the websale example process should be completely executable in the webapp.  If that can be done without crash, it's ok.

I have tried to update the websale example.  Can you get it deployed and executed ?  Let me know if you have any problem with that.  Feel free to update the forms in the websale as appropriate.  The designer form generation also needs some updates, but those can wait till the next release.  I have created a jira issue for koen.

2) Transition button 'More info needed' took the wrong exit.  In the websale example, i clicked on 'More info needed' and saw the payment task appearing.  This would indicate that the wrong transition is taken with respect to the clicked button.  Can you check this ?  This should be fixed for Alpha 2

Since you are busy with transitions, you might want to address this minor issues in one go: i would change the attribute name of the transition button from 'to' to 'transition'.  'To' typically indicates the destination node of the transition in jBPM terminology.  

3) New forms are not used when redeploying process definitions.  I know i have some caching build in there.  Maybe something is wrong with that.  Can you see if you can reproduce ?  This doesn't need to be fixed for this Alpha2 release.

4) Comments
Now, you already support comment input.  But what I didn't yet have in the console before and which is really needed is displaying of the comment history.  This would ideally be done with another jbpm component tag.  The tag would show all the comments made on a given token.  I have a layout in mind (i'll email it), but feel free to come up with something different.  These forum's topic threads could also be an inspiration for the comment history layout.  This can also wait till the next release.
