    a problem with jBpm in Seam

    mnrz

      Hi
      I am trying to change registration example in order to work with JBpm. but at the first page it is a button with action #"{register.register}"

      I define in pageflow if the user already exists tnot change the current page and if not, go to next page, but It calls action register first and it check the database and because user is not exist then that action persist the data into the database and that action is calling again and in the second time, that user already persisted so the current page staty intact and a message will be displayed.

      here is pageflow definition file:

      <pageflow-definition name="SeamPracticePageFlow">
      
       <start-page name="start" view-id="/pages/register.jsp">
       <transition name="register" to="checkUser" />
       </start-page>
      
       <decision name="checkUser" expression="#{register.alreadyExists}" >
       <transition name="false" to="registered" >
       <action expression="#{register.register}" />
       </transition>
       <transition name="true" to="start" />
       </decision>
      
       <page name="registered" view-id="/pages/registered.jsp">
       <redirect/>
       <transition name="welcomeMessage" to="listMessage" >
       <action expression="/pages/messages.seam" />
       </transition>
       </page>
      
       <page name="listMessage" view-id="/pages/messages.jsp">
       <redirect/>
       <end-conversation/>
       </page>
      
      </pageflow-definition>
      


      and jsp file:
       <f:view>
       <h:form>
       <table border="0">
       <s:validateAll>
       <tr>
       <td>Username</td>
       <td><h:inputText value="#{user.username}" required="true"/></td>
       </tr>
       <tr>
       <td>Full Name</td>
       <td><h:inputText value="#{user.fullName}" required="true"/></td>
       </tr>
       <tr>
       <td>Password</td>
       <td><h:inputSecret value="#{user.password}" required="true"/></td>
       </tr>
       </s:validateAll>
       </table>
       <h:messages/>
       <h:commandButton type="submit" value="Register" action="#{register.register}"/>
       </h:form>
       </f:view>
      


      and the action:
       @Create
       @Begin(join=true,pageflow="SeamPracticePageFlow")
       public void register() {
       try {
       if(isAlreadyExists()) {
       userNotExists = false;
       em.persist(user);
       logger.info("user #{user.username} registered.");
       //return "/pages/registered.jsp";
       }else {
       logger.info("user #{user.username} already registered.");
       userNotExists = true;
       }
       } catch (Exception e) {
       e.printStackTrace();
       }
      
       }
      
       public boolean isUserNotExists() {
       return userNotExists;
       }
      
       public boolean isAlreadyExists() {
       try {
       List registered = em.createQuery("select username from User where username = :u")
       .setParameter("u",user.getUsername())
       .getResultList();
       if(registered == null || registered.size() == 0) {
       return true;
       }else {
       FacesMessages.instance().add("user #{user.username} already exists.");
       return false;
       }
       }catch(Exception e) {
       e.printStackTrace();
       }
       FacesMessages.instance().add("something's wrong...");
       return false;
       }

          Looks to me like you want to split out starting the pageflow and registering the user into two seperate methods in the action e.g.

          public void register() {
           try {
           if(isAlreadyExists()) {
           userNotExists = false;
           em.persist(user);
           logger.info("user #{user.username} registered.");
           //return "/pages/registered.jsp";
           }else {
           logger.info("user #{user.username} already registered.");
           userNotExists = true;
           }
           } catch (Exception e) {
           e.printStackTrace();
           }
          }
          
          @Create
          @Begin(join=true,pageflow="SeamPracticePageFlow")
          public void startPageFlow() {
          }
          (make sure to declare startPageFlow on the interface)

            Hi Petemuir

            as you said, I did it but nothing has changed. I think JBpm didnt started to work. do you have any other idea?

            thanks

              Obviously you need to alter the JSP as well to change the method called to startPageFlow.

                hi

                yes, of course. let me show my codes:

                jsp files:

                .....
                 <tr>
                 <td>Password</td>
                 <td><h:inputSecret value="#{user.password}" required="true"/></td>
                 </tr>
                 <!-- validateAll -->
                 </table>
                 <h:messages/>
                 <h:commandButton type="submit" value="Register" action="register"/>
                 </h:form>
                ......
                


                 @Create
                 @Begin(join=true,pageflow="SeamPracticePageFlow")
                 public void begin() {
                 userNotExists = false;
                 }
                



                <pageflow-definition name="SeamPracticePageFlow">
                
                 <start-page name="start" view-id="/pages/register.jsp">
                 <transition name="register" to="checkUser" >
                 <action expression="#{register.register}" />
                 </transition>
                 </start-page>
                
                 <decision name="checkUser" expression="#{register.alreadyExists}" >
                 <transition name="false" to="registered" />
                 <transition name="true" to="start" />
                 </decision>
                
                 <page name="registered" view-id="/pages/registered.jsp">
                 <redirect/>
                 <transition name="welcomeMessage" to="listMessage" >
                 <action expression="/pages/messages.seam" />
                 </transition>
                 </page>
                ..........
                


                thank you again

                  Hi again

                  As I had doubt on not loading Jbpm xml file, I decided to put my pageflow.jbpm.xml in the "deploy" directory and remove it from ear file. now it seems the Jboss try to deploy it but deployment fails and there is no noticeable exception message.

                  the name of pageflow file is myproject.jpdl.xml

                    Try using

                    <h:commandButton type="submit" value="Register" action="#{register.begin}"/>


                    @Begin(join=true,pageflow="SeamPracticePageFlow")
                     public void begin() {
                     userNotExists = false;
                     }


                    I suspect the bean is not being created so the @Create method isn't running. N.B. This might require you to change start-page to start-state.

                    No, you shouldn't put the pageflow.xml in the deploy directory, JBoss doesn't know how to use them, Seam does so they go in the ear and are referenced in components.xml
