[jboss-jira] [JBoss JIRA] Commented: (JBPM-732) remove process start link for processes without start task

Cutberto Ocampo commented on JBPM-732:
--------------------------------------

It would be nice to have a feature that allows process developers/designers to define an "external" interactive application to launch in case a task is executed (a la Carnot). For example, I would like to deploy a JSP in the same app server where jBPM is living, so I could execute the JSP so this (via a controller) has access to task/process instance variables.

This way, I could have the freedom to develop my own GUI's without them worrying about the complexities of business workflow (since this would be in the process, not in the JSP); the JSP would handle the complexity of validations, access to the model, etc. However, there may be a problem whenever you try to release a new version of the process, or a new version of the JSP(s), since the variables shared by both of them need to be synchronized (while designing the process and developing the JSP).

Please correct me if I'm expressing something wrong.

> a check should be added to the start new process execution list on the home page that verifies if the process has a forms.xml.  if not, the start process link should not be displayed.
