How to call Web Service Using JBPM 5, designer

[kanes87]

Good day,

I manage to install JBPM following the steps from here (http://www.vikkee.com/2011/01/getting-started-with-jbpm-5.html)

I manage to run the basic Hello World program. But I will need to call a web service from xmethod.net (http://www.restfulwebservices.net/wcf/CurrencyService.svc?wsdl)

Can someone please guide me how should I do this?

Thanks

I am also looking for the same. Kindly let me know once you get it.

take a look here, web designer from master has already support for these definitions as well.

I tried it. But it is not working. It says classnotfoundexception: [Interface name]

[swiderski.maciej]

what says so? Do you use 5.4 version of jBPM?

could you provide bit more details on the error you're getting?

I m having difficulties in understanding the tutorial. Do you have  any video guided tutorial?

Thanks in advance

[swiderski.maciej]

unfortunately there is no video tutorial for it. What are the problems you're having in understanding it?

1st:

where should I place this code?

1. first of all we need to tell the engine where is our WSDL so it can be read and operations from it can be invoked - this is done with BPMN2 import:

<import importType="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/wsdl/" location="http://wsf.cdyne.com/WeatherWS/Weather.asmx?WSDL" namespace="http://ws.cdyne.com/WeatherWS/"/>

Then...

2. next message, interface and operations must be defined:

<itemDefinition id="_2-2-4_InMessageType" />

<message id="_2-2-4_InMessage" itemRef="_2-2-4_InMessageType" />

When I place the 2nd code... I am unable to load my BPMN diagrams.

FYI: I am just updating the hello world diagram that generated by JBOSS for me.

Thanks

This is my code

  <bpmndi:BPMNDiagram>

    <bpmndi:BPMNPlane bpmnElement="com.sample.bpmn.hello" >

    <itemDefinition id="_2-2-4_InMessageType" />

<interface id="_2-2-4_ServiceInterface" name="" implementationRef="Weather">

  <operation id="_2-2-4_ServiceOperation"  

       implementationRef="GetCityWeatherByZIP" name="hello">

      <inMessageRef>_2-2-4_InMessage</inMessageRef>

  </operation>

</interface>

    </bpmndi:BPMNPlane>

  </bpmndi:BPMNDiagram>

</definitions>

This is what I did. I m not sure its correct or not. Please guide me.

I see that you had been trying to use the JBPM for your company , I have this unrelated question were you guys were able to successfully make the JBPM work and rolled it out to production ? or dropped the idea of using it ? If you see this message do try to reply thanks sanjay

I had been looking for the option for it in our company and I wanted to share experience related with the product JBPM6.1.0 Final is what we are planning to migrate to.
