    jBPM v6 CR2 - how to upload a jar with a process definition?

    imbaczek

      Hi,

       

      I'm trying to find my way around jBPM (you might have noticed) and I keep running into interesting problems. Currently I'm wondering how to upload a jar with my bpmn process definition. I've tried to upload via Guvnor, but I don't have .pom files, so I put in something similar to what was in Evaluation/HR demos. Then I tried to deploy using Deployments menu, but got messages that said 'Cannot find KieModule'. What's the canonical way of deploying jars without having to use the git VFS?

          there is no need to upload jars to jbpm. It is based on maven so the requirement is to have a valid maven artifact that is available for maven to download - either in local repo (usually ~/.m2/repository) or in guvnor's one. To build kjar you could use this archetype that provides you with all things you need to get started. Then place your processes in src/main/resources and build it with maven (mvn clean install). Once that successfully completes use it's GAV on deployments panel in jbpm console.

            I have been trying to do the same thing.  I built everything that I thought was required in the jar, including kmodule.xml.  Then I uploaded the jar to the Artifact Repository.  Then I went to the Deployments page and selected the "New Deployment Unit" button.  I put in the values for my project and used DEFAULT for the Kie Base Name and Kie Session Name.  However, I always get an error like "Cannot find KieModule."  Maybe I am missing an expected file from the project?

             

            Maciej, you mentioned a Maven archetype that provides all the things you need to get the project started.  What is the archetype?  Can you please provide the name or a link?

             

            Thanks!
