How can I deploy standalone JBPM Web Designer on Tomcat?

hhxkss Dec 6, 2011 3:44 AM

I want to deploy JBPM Web Designer on Tomcat without guvnor.

When I use the default profile like http://localhost:8080/designer/editor?profile=default&uuid=1234, i always get a "saving failed" message when saving.

Can anybody shed some light on this for me?

The jBPM Designer is currently tightly integrated with Drools Guvnor in that it uses its JCR repo as the storage for assets. We have plans to offer a standalone version which will allow to configure your own repository in the next releases. You can use the Designer GUI outside of Guvnor (see here: http://blog.athico.com/2011/04/using-oryx-designer-and-guvnor-in-your.html), or you could use the Guvnor standalone asset editor (see more info here: https://hudson.jboss.org/hudson/job/jBPM/lastSuccessfulBuild/artifact/jbpm-distribution/target/jbpm-5.2.0-SNAPSHOT-docs-build/jbpm-docs/html/ch10.html#d0e3327 - will be available in 2.0 which is just about to be released), but currently you would have to have Guvnor running so that assets can be saved.

Hope this helps.

Thanks for your help. Does JBPM Designer not support IE?

IE has traditionally not handled SVG support very well. You should try with IE and Google Chrome Frame installed.

Just as an FYI,

When downloading from here, http://sourceforge.net/projects/jbpm/files/designer/, all the .war's are named "jboss war" deployments.

Testing on my own, it appears the jboss7 seems to support deploying to tomcat (the same tomcat the Gunvor can be deployed to, in my case tomcat7). However, the non-jboss7 will not deploy to tomcat.

just a heads up!

In the next Designer release you will see a tomcat-specific war. That should make life easier. For now with latest official release as you said, the -jboss7 war deploys fine on tomcat 5,6,7.
