Collaboration diagram and message flow

[jocelyn.duc]

Hello,

I have seen that jBPM 6 is not still supporting collaboration diagram. I need to evaluate jBPM for a project that need collaboration between multiple actors and group.

What I need is like the OMG's pizza example (http://www.omg.org/spec/BPMN/2.0/examples/ZIP/Pizza/) which is representing message flows between a customer and some pizzeria actors. I have seen that a such diagram cannot be imported and executed through the web-based jbpm-console.

My questions are the following:

• Is there an alternative way to modelize that kind of collaboration process?
• Is it possible to define message flows in a non-collaboration diagram?
• Is it possible to start a second BPM from a first one with messages or signals?
• Are the tools needed scheduled in the roadmap?

I hope you understand my needs and that you will be able to explain me what are the possibilites! I need to respect BPMN 2.0.

Thank you

Hi Jocelyn ,

Were you able to make this work ? I am also trying to figure out how to get the process/global variables flow across tasks.

Let me know.

Thanks

Arbab

Hi Arbab,

I don't know if it is now implemented. To be honnest, we focused on other things concerning our project we don't really investigated on message flows... By the way, I got message-start-events based BPMs working, thank to unit tests.
