    Eclipse Pageflow Designer for Seam

      I'm evaluating JBoss Seam. I would like to use it with jPDL.

      I installed JBoss IDE 2.0 beta2 and Eclipse 3.2.2. I just have problems with PageFlow Designer. The plugin is ok except if I try to add actions to transition.

      I have the following error :
      ClassCastException: org.jbpm.ui.pageflow.outline.PageFlowOutlineViewer
      at org.jbpm.ui.action.AddActionDelegate.run(Unknown Source)
      ......

      I downloaded my version of "org.jbpm.feature - 3.0.12". Then I tried to install JBoss IDE via Eclipse. I found the following remote site but the link to jBPM features is dead (and that's the only one) :
      http://download.jboss.org/jbosside/updates/development/

      Thank you for any help (and sorry for my bad english level ...).

          The PageFlow Designer and the Business Process Designer are very similar.

          The PageFlow plugin and Process plugin don't use the same OutlineViewer :
          - pageflow : org.jbpm.ui.pageflow.outline.PageFlowOutlineViewer
          - process : org.jbpm.ui.outline.DesignerOutlineViewer

          But the pageflow plugin use org.jbpm.ui.action.AddActionDelegate wich is waiting for a DesignerOutlineViewer and not a .PageFlowOutlineViewer.

              Hi,

              The Pageflow designer has indeed some issues with things that are not correctly supported. Currently, the jPDL designer is in the process of being completely reworked. It will be based on a common ground that will also serve the purpose of a next generation pageflow designer where these issues will (hopefully) not appear.

              Regards,
              Koen

                Ok, it will be without the editor.

                The generation of image of the editor is a great idea (may be PNG instead of JPG ?).
