1. Re: .form and .ftl
swiderski.maciej Oct 8, 2013 1:30 AM (in response to bwallis42)1 of 1 people found this helpful.form are the new forms build with form modeler, .ftl (freemarker) are backward compatibility forms to support those created in version 5. In v6 the default forms format is .form build with form modeler.
When authoring all assets are stored in GIT repository in maven project structure of your project. Once build all assets will be available as part of the kjar deployed to runtime environment and thus available to the execution engine.

Thanks. Is the form modeller a part of the drools/jbpm project or is it some other forms editing/rendering project used here. Can it be used independently (ie: standalone editor and renderer?)

I'm not clear what you mean. I understand that they are stored in a GIT repository, but where is that repository and when I setup with the jbpm installer, where do all the initial contents come from.
thanks

yes, it's part of jbpm and it's targeting to be standalone modeling tool and should provide rendering capabilities as well in such setup. Although I haven't verified that myself so might not cover it fully.

GIT repository is stored by default in JBOSS_HOME/bin/.niogit where you'll find all repositories used by the system. The demo repositories come from github that contains some sample projects to quickly get started.

bwallis42 Oct 8, 2013 2:43 AM (in response to swiderski.maciej)Thanks for that. I actually found .niogit in the directory above JBOSS_HOME, ie: the jbpm-installer directory not in the bin directory but once I knew the directory name it was an easy find.

5. Re: .form and .ftl
bwallis42 Oct 23, 2013 12:53 AM (in response to swiderski.maciej)I noticed that when I build a form that both a .form and a .ftl file are created for each form.
So can I assume that the form modeller will continue to create corresponding .ftl files and I can use those in my application for the time being? We already use freemarker in our application
