1. Re: jBPM ... confused...
jean-luct Sep 20, 2007 11:10 AM (in response to vncoder)I'm quite new to jBPm too. But according to my understanding :
you can define your own workflow in jBPM.
You can ask jBPM to create a simple form for you. You can if you know Facelet complete and adapt this form.
The jBPM console provides a kind of portal to the workflow you define. This portal relies on the form it generates, so you can have pretty quickly a user interface for your process :
a login page
a portal that display your to do task list, the list of processes you can start.
when you click on a to do task, you call a simple form to input data
This is in theory all you need, nevertheless, I do not consider this user interface user friendly, is more a debugging tool to me.
Hope, It helps you. -

The ui is indeed not intended (yet, nor am I sure it ever will be) a complete end-user application. At least not for complex systems. You can use it for RAD and indeed as an admin. -

I didn't know for sure that UI was not an aim of the project.
But I fully agree with you to say that it's more a kind of debugging tool for admin or developper. That what I wanted to mean when I said I do not consider it as user friendly.
So far I'm too new to jBPM to address this kind of problem but I didn't bump so far in any thorough tutorial or documentation on this subject (but I didn't really look up for one).
Thus is anybody have a reference to one, it wil be nice to add a simple post to this thread with a reference to it.
Thanks. -
