customize jbpm-starters-kit-3.1.2 interface

[fhpepe]

Hi,
I?m beginning to use jbpm-starters-kit-3.1.2 to create a workflow.

I would like to modify the value of the commandbutton ?Save and close Tasks? located in task screen.

For this,
I changed the files taskBean.java and task.jsp.
I compiled and deployed my jbpm.war in " jbpm-server/?/deploy" to include the changes for my JSP but it didn?t succeed . There's an error concerning the faces servlet Is it linked to the "web.xml" file ?? or "faces-config.xml" ??

(To change the value of the other command button ?Save? and ?Cancel? it?s ok because it?s not linked to the Bean).

Can anybody help me to customize my application view by giving me a method to modify this button (translate or change the words ?Save and close Tasks?).

Thanks in advance. Best regards.

If you just want to change the displayed text, I'd guess the only thing you would have to change is task.jsp from

<h:commandButton id="transitionButton" action="#{taskBean.saveAndClose}" value="Save and Close Task"/>

to something like

<h:commandButton id="transitionButton" action="#{taskBean.saveAndClose}" value="your_custom_text"/>

Thanks for your prompt reply,

But it doesnt work because it's probably linked to the file: "TaskBean.java". When i do the changes in both "Task.jsp" and "TaskBean.java" and redeploy the "app.war" ive got an "error message".

Following lines are taken from the "Taskbean.java":


public String saveAndClose() {
// save
save();

// close the task instance
String transitionButton = JsfHelper.getParameter("taskform:transitionButton");
log.debug("Submitted button:" + transitionButton);
TaskInstance taskInstance = taskMgmtSession.loadTaskInstance(taskInstanceId);
if ("Save and Close Task".equals(transitionButton)) {
//if ("Hello".equals(transitionButton)) {
taskInstance.end();
} else {
taskInstance.end(transitionButton);
}

"app.war", "error message"

I don't know what you are referring to. Also, I don't see a problem when you change the values in both files and deploy the changed artifacts correctly.

Generally, I'd suggest to move on to jBPM 3.2, which has a much more sophisticated web app included.

Thanks for your advise but my process is ready and i dont have time to change the kit now. I customized the other commandbutton and the interface by acting upon the .JSP except this one .... My problem is linked to the FacesServlet.java.

Thanks. Regards.

You can see the error message:
