jBPM 4 ProcessFactory/ProcessBuilder not found

[alexmcmanus]

Hi,

I'm trying to programmatically create a process definition in jBPM alpha 2, as per section 2.1 of the Developers Guide (http://docs.jboss.com/jbpm/v4.0/devguide/html_single) with little success.

I can't find the ProcessFactory class anywhere. Jira 1973 seems to offer a clue (https://jira.jboss.org/jira/browse/JBPM-1973) - it states that "all usages of ProcessFactory should be replaced with the new ProcessBuilder". This issue is marked as fixed in alpha 2.

However, I can't find ProcessBuilder anywhere either - I looked in the distributed source code and in the jbpm jars, and it doesn't seem to be there. It isn't in the API documentation (http://docs.jboss.com/jbpm/v4.0/javadocs/).

I tried to look in trunk, but the SVN repository URLs listed at http://www.jboss.org/jbossjbpm/jbpm_community/ returns a Not Found error.

Am I missing something obvious? Any help would be appreciated!

Thanks, Alex.

I have the same problems.
Could you send me email if you get it.

what are you trying to achieve with alpha 2? Please try beta2 and the latest userguide and /or devguide.

Depending on what you want to achieve, could be that you want to use the ProcessDefinitionBuilder

ProcessDefinitionImpl processDefinition = builder.endProcess();
processDefinition.startProcessInstance();

}

Hi,

What is the reason for this post? Is it something that works? or does *not* work? or?

[marjan]

Just a working example related to the initial question!

thanks..

Is there any documentation available (anywhere) for ProcessDefinitionBuilder? There are no javadocs.

These are pvm classes and meant to be used by people who want to implement their own DSL on top of the pvm. Look in the source of jBPM on how to use it (e.g. look at testcase etc.)
