    Customizing the Interface

    aalsayyed

      Hello all;

      I am very new to the whole workflow mgt. field and to the jBPM tool.

      Could anybody please tell me if it's possible to customize the fields that are used to capture the Process variables? For example, how to restrict user's input, how to add pull down menus, and add "browse for a file" buttons. And if that's possible where can I do that from.

      Any help or thoughts would be highly appreciated.

      THANKS!!

          No, is not possible in the stable version (3.1.2). However, AFAIK, there is some way to customize it in the beta version available in the CS, using JSF components.

          Please Roland, correct me (again, please) if I'm wrong on this.

          Regards.

            When I said "CS" I meant "CVS"...

              Keep in mind that the web application and the jBPM process engine are two separate things. You can create a web app that has any type of field you want in it. You simply need to take the fields in the page request and set them into the jBPM context. Take a look at this section of the docs for more information about how to store and get process variables:

                Hi All,

                I am new in the world of workflow and also jBPM. Can i know what is the difference between getting the starter kit to work or building from source(CVS). Is the starter kit is meant for showing the overview of jBPM and the CVS is meant for development?If i want to develop a worklow system then which should i use?

                Does this means that starter kit is not possibe to customize interface. Can anyone please help.

                Thank you in advance
