how to register custom workitem handler?

[missedone]

hi, folks

i developed a custome workitem handler, and i have successfully deploy the new hanlder into jbpm-console:

1. define drools.session.conf CustomWorkItemHandlers.conf and copy them into jbpm-gwt-console-server.war

2. copy custom workitem handler jar into the jbpm-gwt-console-server.war

this make things work

now, my question is, is there any approch that can make the new workitem handler recognized by jbpm-console without hacking the jbpm-gwt-console-server.war?

i tried to put the custom workitem hanlder jar under, jboss common lib directory, but not work

any suggestion? thanks

further question, any class is responsiable for initialize the custom workitem handler, that parse the file "META-INF\drools.session.conf"?

Not sure about how to avoid hacking jbpm-gwt-console-server.war, but the classes responsible of parse the .conf file are SessionConfiguration (in drools-core) and ChainedProperties (in knowledge-api). SessionConfiguration uses ChainedProperties to parse the content of the file and AbstractWorkingMemory uses SessionConfiguration to get the defined work item handlers and register them into the session.

Hi Nick,

Did you get a solution to this?

Thanks,

Version used JBPM 6.1.0.final and wildfly 8.1.0.Final .

I am not sure friends which version of JBPM you guys are using , I think in all our discussion if we make sure of that information the discussion becomes very very valuable. thought.

I think there are two ways.

1. kconsole.xml and kjar with the dependency declared , and work item handler declared out there.  ( This steps i wasn't successful that much ) I have to still try this

2. (a) Create a separate jar for the work item  put that in jbpm-console.war\web-ing\lib , (b) search for *.conf in the war and you will get <confirm about exact name of tile >customworkitem.conf and enter the configuration like other work Items. (3) in side your project enter the details in workitem.wid file. ( I was successful doing this. )

more details can be found Custom WorkItems

hope this helps . - Sanjay
