1. Re: Workflow patterns supported by jBPM
icyjamie Sep 23, 2005 8:13 AM (in response to yadavvijay)See testcases in the source code... (yes: this is open source, and the source is your friend :-))
There is a package org.jbpm.jpdl.patterns testing all workflow patterns, as mentioned on www.workflowpatterns.com, and apart from milestone, they all succeed. This does not mean that jbpm wf pattern support is out-of-the-box and guaranteed, but it's a good start. -

icyjamie Sep 23, 2005 11:01 AM (in response to yadavvijay)It's also in 3.0 (I checked), it's under src/java.jbpm.test
And from there on, you have the package structure
If you import the whole project in eclipse, you see it directly. (If you don't use eclipse, I guess it is still easy to import everything) -
5. Re: Workflow patterns supported by jBPM
sudhakartv Sep 23, 2005 11:52 AM (in response to yadavvijay)Thanks. I found it and able to run test case in WSAD. I am very new to work flow. We are trying to use jbpm for only process definitions as we already have a workflow engg. in place. So our part will be creating processdefinitions and excute them(process of excution we will call work flow APIs for creating task etc.).
As I have to concentrate on creating process definition files(I guess i have to create a XML file for this) do u have any suggestion where should i concentrate?. What tools i have to use.U suggested me to use Graphic desimer , but it wonly works with Eclips. I don;t know how to configure with WSAD. Do I need to lern amy languge to create process files manually ?. Any suggestions or idea will be appreciated
Thanks

koen.aers Sep 23, 2005 2:39 PM (in response to yadavvijay)Sudhakar,
The easiest way to create processdefinitions is really to use the GPD. Yes it does not work with WSAD, but Eclipse is open source and freely downloadable, so I don't get the point why you are anxious to use it alongside your WSAD installation... But if you really want it, you *can* use vi or notepad or any xml- or texteditor to create the processdefinition.xml file.

kukeltje Sep 23, 2005 5:15 PM (in response to yadavvijay)the gpd tool is not 'run'. If it is installed (see the docs for that) you can create a new project in the normal way. If certain files in this process project are opened (e.g. the processdefinition.xml) you can see the editor at work.
