[jboss-dev-forums] [Design of JBoss jBPM] - Re: Extension of the Designer

[magro1202]

Hi Koen 

thank you for your answer

the action should be configurable in every case you can use an action node, e.g. in Nodes, transitions, states, events, ...

so i do not want to create a seperate action, or a special node, i would like to extend the existing Action node to give a user the opportunity to load a definition of all specific elements he needs for his special issue to the designer to show up controls with which he can configure these elements, whatever the elements are.

So for a concrete example:

i could imagine, in a standard action configuration page there is a new tab, as you mentioned, where you can choose a definition in XML Format for example.
in this XML File all custom elements are specified.
The XML File is to be parsed by the designer and then the designer offers 
configuration possibilities for his elements.
Then the made configurations are transfered to the given action node in the process definition.

the elements need not necessarily be dependant to the ActionHandler, it could be that the specified class is not available within the designed Project

my intension is to make an action node freely configurable to every user with custum issues he wants to do within the action without manually adjust the process definition file.

May be there are a lot other possibilities to get that straight,
this is gonna be one main point of my thesis to figure them out.
this is getting interesting i think.

If you have any recommendations dont't hesitate to tell me, i'm open for all opinions

regards
Matthias
