gavin.king Nov 7, 2006 9:21 PM (in response to neoko)Yes, speaking loosly, a task is a conversation that relates to a business process.

neoko Nov 7, 2006 9:30 PM (in response to neoko)Woo! Incredibly fast! Thanks Gavin, i appreciate this reply from the Seam developer!
So, another question if possible. How do i refer to the Seam component which manages the conversation inside the xml file which describes the business process? Is this name the one which is given to the component with the @Name annotation?

gavin.king Nov 7, 2006 9:33 PM (in response to neoko)Yep, Seam lets you use exactly the same method and value bindings inside the jBPM process or pageflow definition that you use inside a JSF page. This is really cool, if I don't say so myself ;-)

neoko Nov 7, 2006 9:53 PM (in response to neoko)This is the coolest!
Finally a question tipical from a beginner. Is it posible to change the xml file of the business process without deploying again the entire application or the changes have to be made in the file and then pack and re-deploy the application?
I am interested in users who can orchestrate their own flow of services in their particular order, save this and after, these same users will log in and consume these services in the order they were ordered. Is this only a product of my mind? B-)
Thanks a lot!! -

gavin.king Nov 7, 2006 10:08 PM (in response to neoko)Yes, its possible. jBPM stores process definitions in the database, they do not need to be deployed with the application.

neoko Nov 22, 2006 10:43 AM (in response to neoko)A new question in this topic, please.
Is a task able to store a pageflow inside it?
I would like to display different sets of pages according to the task where you are working in.
thanks for your time. -

8. Re: jBPM and tasks
neoko Nov 22, 2006 5:52 PM (in response to neoko)Sorry for my english, i think i've found out something related in page 92 of the documentation. But i think there's a mistake there. It says:
It is perfectly possible that we might have both jPDL business process definitions and jPDL pageflow definitions
in the same project.
If so, the relationship between the two is that a single task> in a business process corresponds to a whole pageflow <process-definition>
Won't it be the last word <pageflow-definition> instead of <process-definition>
So, rephrasing my last post, can a task execute a pageflow an render the pages that belong to that pageflow?
P.S.:Don't know kwy but phBB doesn't allow me to write task between angled brackets.Weird! -
9. Re: jBPM and tasks
pmuir Nov 22, 2006 6:29 PM (in response to neoko)Yes, you can start a task and a pageflow at the same time
@BeginTask(pageflow="...") public void beginTask() { }
You might be able to do this with s:link as well.
If you want to write code in the forum you need to use [ code ] tags. -
