    Creating process dynamically using Fluent API

    sanket.mohile

      Hi,

      I want to create a process dynamically using Fluent API.

      I tried this -

       

      RuleFlowProcessFactory factory = RuleFlowProcessFactory.createProcess("com.sample.process");

        

         factory

          // Header

          .name("HelloWorldProcess")

          .version("1.0")

          .packageName("defaultPackage")

          // Nodes

          .startNode(1)

           .name("Start")

          .done()

          .actionNode(2)

           .name("Action")

           .action("java", "System.out.println(\"Hello World\");")

          .done().

          endNode(3)

           .name("End")

          .done()

          // Connections

          .connection(1, 2)

          .connection(2, 3);

       

      But when I start the process, I get an exception

       

      java.lang.RuntimeException: unable to execute Action

      ... 15 more

       

      If I remove the actionNode, the code runs successfully.

      Similarly in case of a human task node, when I use a .onEntryAction("java", "java.util.Map contentParam = new java.util.HashMap();"); it crashes.

      Seems some problem with the "java" dialect. Just not able to figure that out...

       

      Please help.

      Also would be glad if someone could provide a sample code for creating dynamic process with fluent API..

       

      Thanks,

      Sanket.
