Getting jBPM to run in JBOSS AS 7.1

[madboyprice]

Hi

I have installed JBOSS AS 7.1 on a server and it seems to be running OK. By this I mean I can access the console on port 9990.

I now want to deploy jBPM. I downloaded jbpm-6.0.1.Final-bin.zip and thought I should be able to deploy this via the JBOSS console. Everything appears to have worked. jbpm is deployed and have been able to enable via the Manage Deployments page.

14:51:53,292 INFO  [org.jboss.as.server.deployment] (MSC service thread 1-2) JBAS015876: Starting deployment of "jbpm-6.0.1.Final-bin.zip"

14:51:53,406 INFO  [org.jboss.as.server] (HttpManagementService-threads - 28) JBAS018559: Deployed "jbpm-6.0.1.Final-bin.zip"

My question is: What Now? How to I access jBPM?

There seems to be very little documentation around, other than downloading and installing the demo which comes complete with JBOSS and eclipse, which is not what I want to do.

Has anyone managed to do what I am trying to do?

just create users e.g. using add-user script that comes with JBoss AS7 and ensure they will be given on of these roles:

- admin

- analyst

- developer

- user

and then go to application (http://localhost:8080/jbpm-console), log on and start with your first steps in jbpm world. Here you can see some screen casts about how to get started.

Thanks. I had already created a user, but when I try to go to  http://localhost:8080/jbpm-console I get a 404 response.It's as though jbpm has not deployed correctly even though it says it has.

As I am new to JBoss and JBPM, I am sure it is something silly I have messed.

Any thoughts?

Hi Mike,

how about you share server.log with us ? Maybe there is something which indicates what went wrong.

Cheers,

Mike, you're trying to deploy zip file that simply contains all binaries for jbpm but not the actual web application. Best is to use installer at first to at least produce a valid war archive so it can be easily deployed on another JBoss server. Then you can use it and follow some configuration steps to deploy it on another jboss instance.

Configuration steps:

- define users and roles

- define data source if the default is not good enough

- use standalone-full profile so JMS will be activated
