Web based example using JBPM5

[rajeshchikhale]

Hi,

I am very new to the JBPM technology and I need to develop some example using JBPM 5

Please could you provide me with step by step example to create  a web appliation using JBPM 5 .

I have being searching for this example quite a long time on internet but could not found it.

Any help would be very much appreciated.

Thanks,

Rajesh Chikhale

Hi there,

As you may know jBPM5 is agnostic to the type of the project that you want to build. Did you check the http://salaboy.wordpress.com/2011/01/01/emergency-service-drools-application/ application? it shows an use case where you can see jBPM5 + Drools Expert + Drools Fusion running all together. You can use jBPM5 in the same way inside a swing application and also inside a web application.

Greetings.

Hi  Mauricio Salatino,

Thanks for the reply.But I did not found any sample example.

Did you check the link that I've pasted in my previous response?

Inside the blog post there is a link to github where is hosted an application that uses jBPM5.

Did you check that?

I have checked below link and there is no source code available for download

https://github.com/Salaboy/emergency-service-drools-app

[salaboy21]

That's the project web page. Inside that page you can find the project repository URL. Github host projects using GIT, its like SVN or CVS. You need to install GIT first and then run:

git clone git://github.com/Salaboy/emergency-service-drools-app.git

That will checkout the application source code to your machine. After that, following the instructions in the README file you can compile and run the application.

Alternatively you can browse the source code from the link that you paste. Take a look at here:

https://github.com/Salaboy/emergency-service-drools-app/blob/master/emergency-service-app/src/test/java/com/wordpress/salaboy/BasicProcessTest.java

That test shows how the application can interact with the Emergency Service Business Process.

Hope it helps.

You could look at the GWT console. That interacts with the REST interface for jbpm.

Hi Mauricio!

Is the Emergency Service Drools Application going to be included as an official example app in future releases of Drools?

Do you know if there are any plans to create more examples in future releases of jBPM? Or perhaps only one more example, but more complete / complex?

Thanks!

Hi Francisco, The Emergency Service Application requires a lot of refactoring to be able to be included as part of the project. I'm trying to end some major refactors in order to get the first release ready.

About jBPM5 examples, I'm personally working on that. I have a roadmap to follow -> http://salaboy.wordpress.com/2011/01/24/announcing-jbpm5-community-training/

The set of examples will be hosted here -> https://github.com/Salaboy/JBPM5-Training-Examples, you can take a look there.. right now I'm working to finish the first example plus the 4th module of the training course (I will delay Module 3, because people wants to see examples to get started).

What do you mean with "more complete / complex example"? The emergency service app shows a business process that handles events, rules, gateways and generates meaningful logging information about the execution. Please share your thoughts and I will try to include more complexity inside that example.

Greetings

Hi Mauricio! Thank you very much for your attention.

I'm looking forward to the examples you are working on (and sure many others are )

"more complete / complex example" was related (used in comparison) to the evaluation example that is bundled in the jBPM distribution.

Thanks again!

Cool.. take a look at the following post:

I've explained there the emergency service process -> http://salaboy.wordpress.com/2010/12/23/drools-at-javaone-brazil-2010/

It's simple but it uses at least 60% of the features that the platform provides.

Hi Rajesh,

Hi Mauricio,

Thanks for the reply.

As already mentioned I am very new to JBPM.I have downloaded the JBPM 5 binary distribution.I have  created one sample project in eclipse of Hello  World and also the customer selection project .This two projects I have executed as stand alone in eclipse.

Now I want to make this sample project to be used as Web application.So I want information/steps on creating web application(Jsp/servlets or struts or spring).I am attaching the sample project 

I have other related question as below.

There are two tools ie Guvnor repository and  Jbpm-console.From one of the examples I understood that Guvnor is used to build the binary package for the the business process and  Jbpm-console is used to view the processes.Please could you explain me the usage of these two tools.

Thanks,

Rajesh Chikhale
