xhtml files in process definition

[naseem.k]

Hi,

I searched alot on this forum for xhtml but I am not able to understand why xhtml files are used?

In some thread I got someone saying to refer the cvs-head version of jbpm?

I am currently using jbpm 3.1.4

Websale application which comes with jbpm is having four xhtml files (form.create.xhtml, form.evaluate.xhtml, form.fix.html and form.money.xhtml) and they are included in forms.xml.

My process definition is deployed, started and ended perfectly fine without xhtml, so what is the xhtml files and when should I use xhtml files?

Any tutorial on this would be higly appreciated.

Please help

Thanks

Thanks Ronald for your reply.

Well I am not able to understand how this forms.mxl is used in the whole application. I did some changes in one of the xhtml files and I am not seeing those changes reflected in the browser.

Is this xhtml file for task form customization? How do I use xhtml files in a simple jbpm process and what are the configuration steps? I am using jbpm 3.1.4

Please help in this regards

Thanks

forms.xml and the .xhtml files are for jBPM 3.2

Hello Ronald,

I would like to know if the .xhtml and the forms are auto-generated in jBPM 3.2?
Regarding the instructions for creating a process for returns of orders in jBPM wiki:
http://wiki.jboss.org/wiki/Wiki.jsp?page=JbpmGettingStarted the mentioned files are missing.
The process is working fine nevertheless input fields for variables and buttons for proceeding are missing.

Thanks.

Kind regards,

Paul S.

engine:

3.1 run-time auto generated and really simple, no customization possible

3.2 design time generated, customizable

Thanks,

I am using jbpm 3.2 according to the suite jbpm-jpdl-3.2.GA ~82MB + Eclipse plugin via update features.
Instructions were strictly followed but no additional files ( forms or xhtml ) were created.
What I am doing wrong?

The forms are not automatically generated from the gpd. There is a function for that in the tasks properties.

Damn right,

Properties->Advanced->Generate Form Button

Thank you very much for support and I hope it can be helpful for user users.

Hello,

I hope you do not lose patience but the auto-generated forms are corrupt.
When starting a simple process instance (start->task with one variable->end) I get the exception:
Error Parsing /24/NumberInp--.xhtml: Error Traced[line: 36] The value of attribute "value" associated with an element type "input" must not contain the '<' character.
One corrupt snippet:

<!-- TASKFORM ROWS -->
 <tr>
 <td>number</td>
 <td>
 <input jsfc="h:input" value="#{taskBean.variables['number']}<---failing apostroph />
 </td>
 </tr>

When I correct the mentioned fault a new fault arises.
Hope you can help.

Thanks,

Paul

If you think you've found a bug, it would be handy to at least report the version of the GPD.

And I do not remember that the GPD has ever used jsfc, but I might be wrong. The current 3.1 branche at least does not.

Hello,

it works fine when using the features and plugins attached in the designer folder in bundle: jbpm-jpdl-3.2.GA.

Greetings,

Paul

For everyone: bundle jbpm-jpdl-3.2 GA uses GPD 3.0.13
