how to get the process image from guvnor or designer

[saig0]

Hi!

I'm working on a web app and use jBPM 5.2, guvnor 5.3.1 and designer 2.1. I created some processes with guvnor / designer and load it with REST services in my knowledge base. All work's fine.

Now I want to display the process image of a process inside my web app but I don't know how. I didn't found a REST service to get the process image, only the source or binary of the process.

I saw that the designer can generate the process image as png, pdf or svg; or share it as base64-encoded image. Is there a way to call these functions from my web app?

Thanks for help!

Thank's for help.

I can use the rest service of gwt-console-server to get the process image: http://{your-address}/gwt-console-server/rs/process/definition/{your-process-id}/image.

But I don't need the gwt-console-server because it use the service of guvnor: http://{your-address}/drools-guvnor/org.drools.guvnor.Guvnor/package/{your-package}/LATEST/{your-process-id}-image.png.

I can also access the image with following rest service of guvnor: http://{your-address}/drools-guvnor/rest/packages/{your-package}/assets/{your-process-id}-image/binary.

The main problem is that the process image will not be generated. You must create the image manually in designer first (with PNG button on bottom). After creation guvnor put's the image in the same package as other (PNG) asset.

So if you forget to create the image on every update of the process, the image is not available or not up-to-date.

Is there a way to automate the image creation?

Or other solutions?

Right now, now but we are working on a possible solution. Should be available in Designer 2.2 (I hope ). Community help is more than welcome.
