1. Re: Exposing jBPM db using a Web Service
kukeltje Aug 2, 2006 8:07 AM (in response to sajid08)Has been asked and answered before. jBPM itself is not exposed as a webservice. You have to build it yourself if you want it *now*. Same is true for the monitoring stuff, altouh I doubt it will be available as a webservice from jBPM any time soon

2. Re: Exposing jBPM db using a Web Service
falazar Aug 2, 2006 8:47 AM (in response to sajid08)What is the status of this with the CVS head?
We have advanced quite a ways into our project now, and am working on a login module, and Remote Calls. We are using oracle, and can remotely call stored procedures from within the jBPM, but need to be able to call into jBPM from either a web services call now, or an RMI call from another program.
It appears that we would need to write all our own jBPM stuff for the webservices, but what about an RMI call? I have searched all around the forum and web, and only found round-about mentions of this issue.

kukeltje Aug 2, 2006 9:09 AM (in response to sajid08)No work has been done on a ws frontend yet. If things are implemented, it will initially focus on starting a process, signalling a token, ending/cancelling a task and getting a generic full task list. Getting a list of task based on the value of e.g. process variables is not in scope. If all goes well, some work might be sponsored.

kukeltje Aug 2, 2006 9:10 AM (in response to sajid08)Same is true for rmi. Nothing yet, but wrapping the jbpm context in e.g. an ejb should not be to difficult.

falazar Aug 2, 2006 9:12 AM (in response to sajid08)Yes, those are the type of calls we are needing now.
What about the RMI aspect of it.... I saw it mentioned in some functions for JBoss, but no real examples of usage, on only 1 brief mention with respect to jBPM usage.
We need a simple way to automate the transition of tasks from another application other than the web front.

falazar Aug 2, 2006 9:20 AM (in response to sajid08)OK, sounds good. Im not sure which route we will go with, but we will try to put up our solution for the benefit of the rest of everyone.
If anyone else has already done either something similar, some pointers or code would be helpful as well.

7. Re: Exposing jBPM db using a Web Service
kukeltje Aug 2, 2006 9:22 AM (in response to sajid08)There was ejb (rmi) in jbpm 1, none existed in 2 and 3 will probably contain something before 4 is released.
But.... some work has been done on JMS access to jBPM. If you can put a command object in this queue via RMI you have a solution. -

falazar Aug 2, 2006 9:26 AM (in response to sajid08)Perfect, I searched and saw your other post now, (http://www.jboss.com/index.html?module=bb&op=viewtopic&t=83595)
somehow it slipped by.
Will test that out and see how it goes.
