    [jBPM4] ESB Service

    c4s4l

      Hello,

      In jBPM3 there is an ESB Service that hooks up directly to the ESB service. In jBPM4 there isn't such node in the designer or I didn't find it. Will there be an ESB Service node in jBPM4? Is the ESB service usage by JBPM supposed to be done by codding the access to it in a java class or something custom?

      Thanks,
      Sergio

          Vote for it (and have others to) to give it a higher priority.

          currently the java or maybe better the custom node is the way to go. You can ofcourse use the esb code from the jBPM 3 source to get an impression.

          The thing is, that for sync req/resp this is not that difficult to do. When needing async functionality it is harder since the esb must know how to talk to jBPM

            Thank you Ronald, already voted and going to wait for it, because I'll need the async functionality.

              Hello,

              I'm using the ServiceInvoker from the JBoss ESB to invoke an ESB service within the context of a custom activity in jBPM4. I'm getting the exception IncompatibleTransactionScopeException which I understand from the ESB Programmers guide, nevertheless I just want to make a syncronous call to an ESB Service from jBPM4, how can I do this? Is there a workaround to overcome the bloking problems?

              Thanks,
              Sergio
