JBPM6 as a library

[clandestino_bgd]

Hello,

I am an old JBPM v3 and v4 user and I am also using Spring and Tomcat in my everyday developer life.

Now, I know things changed quite a bit since v5, but I am starting a new BPM project in the next couple of weeks and I need to evaluate available OS BPMs.

JBPM6 is definitely on my list, since it is full of very advanced features.

My aim is to use it as a library sharing DB and EMF with my other spring beans and deploy it on vanila tomcat 7 on Amazon EC2.

I tried to find but without much luck a sample spring project deployable under tomcat that has:

- JBPM 6 RuntimeManager configured in spring application context

- without JTA, JNDI, bitronix, etc. I'd like to use Spring transaction manager

- without JAAS (I'd like to plugin the Identity Component through spring security. Is that possible at all?)

- without CDI.

- with shared entity manager

If there is no such thing, could you please advise if this is doable without significant effort.

I've found the configuration snippets here:

http://planet.jboss.org/post/jbpm_6_with_spring

It suggests that spring factories will be implemented in version 6.1.0.

What would be the planned release date?

Thanks,

Milan

that is certainly possible, as described in that article and I believe there is already a beta 1 of 6.1.0 available in maven so feel free to check it out and get back to us in case of something that is still missing or does not work as expected.

yes, you just need to provide your own implementation of UserGroupCallback and register it on the RuntimeEnvironment that is then used to create RuntimeManager.

Knowing that it's certainly possible helps.

I thought 6.1.0.Beta1 is not released, since it is not marked in JIRA, anyway I cloned 6.1.0.Beta1 tag from github but build fails.

My environment is:

Mac OSX 10.8.2

java version "1.7.0_17"

Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.7.0_17-b02)

Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 23.7-b01, mixed mode)

Maven 3.0.5

Thanks, but is there a springified example where some UserGroupCallbackImpl bean is defined in spring app context. Where it should be injected to?

Hi, I'll try to provide test error logs here.

Judging by test class names it looks like my use cases are covered in tests org.kie.spring.jbpm.LocalEntityManagerFactorySpringTest and org.kie.spring.jbpm.LocalEntityManagerSpringTest

kie spring 6.1.0.Beta1 test

Hope you can help me here.

Thanks,

Milan
