Configuring WorkItemHandlers as beans in Spring. JBPM 6.1.0

[vinniman]

Hello guys!

Is there a way to add workitem handlers configuration in Spring so they will be applied to each session produces by runtimeEngine?

<bean id="runtimeManager" class="org.kie.spring.factorybeans.RuntimeManagerFactoryBean" destroy-method="close">
            <property name="identifier" value="jbpm-rm"/>
            <property name="type" value="PER_PROCESS_INSTANCE" />
            <property name="runtimeEnvironment" ref="runtimeEnvironment" />
        </bean>


        <bean id="runtimeEnvironment" class="org.kie.spring.factorybeans.RuntimeEnvironmentFactoryBean">
            <property name="type" value="DEFAULT_KJAR_CL"/>
            <property name="groupId" value="${project.groupId}" />
            <property name="artifactId" value="{artifactId}" />
            <property name="version" value="${project.version}" />
            <property name="kbaseName" value="kbase" />
            <property name="ksessionName" value="ksession" />
</bean>


            <property name="entityManagerFactory" ref="kieEntityManagerFactory" />
            <property name="transactionManager" ref="transactionManager"/>
        </bean>

I know workitemhandlers can be configured in kmodule.xml, but in this case they will be out of Spring context. So this is not an option.

Also workitem handlers can be added via api, but in this case they must be added to every session produced by:

RuntimeEngine runtimeEngine = runtimeManager.getRuntimeEngine(ProcessInstanceIdContext.get());
StatefulKnowledgeSession ksession = (StatefulKnowledgeSession) runtimeEngine.getKieSession();
ksession.getWorkItemManager().registerWorkItemHandler(.......)

But still preferable solution is via Spring configuration.

Is there a way to do so?

Thanks!

RuntimeEnvironmentFactoryBean allows to set any implementation of RegisterableItemsFactory so I would go for creating one that is a spring bean and can take any other beans to be returned as work item handlers or event listeners. That way you will have all these components being still under spring management.

Used custom WorkItemHandlerProducer with RegisterableItemsFactory and everything worked as expected!

Thanks!

Hi Vladimir,

can you give me a code example of doing this?

I have the same problem...
