Is the business calendar still available in jBPM 6?

[pschaefer]

Hello all,

I have a question about the business calendar feature described in the documentation of jBPM 4 jBPM User Guide

Is this feature still provided in jBPM 6 and if yes is it recommended to use it or is it deprecaded and is there another way to provide similar functionality?

In the documentation of jBPM 6 I haven't found any mention of the business calendar, but I have found Classes in the Java API.

Thank you for your help!

Greetings!

Hi Patrick,

BusinessCalendar can also be used in jBPM 6. Unfortunately, there is no mention of it in the documentation. But this component have been tested with jBPM 6 and as you can see there have been some commits fixing issues lately.

Hey Tomáš,

thank you for your answer! I will try to use it and I will look through the implemenatation to figure out how it works in jBPM 6.

Any luck on this?

I am having the same issue.  Only docs show what is in the file, but there is nothing that shows how to edit these settings in the new UI or file structure

Hello Stephen,

I am still in development, but my goal is to use this feature in an own application, where the jBPM Engine is build in, with its own UI. I will not use the UI of the workbench. I will give you feedback about my results.

Have you thought about using a Timer instead of the Business Calendar?  Pros, Cons?

Hi Patrick, your answer is yes, there is no mention of it in the documentation.

I dont know if you saw this information, but i think is good for future reference:

Properties you can set in a properties file: BusinessCalendarImpl (jBPM distribution 5.4.0.Final API)

Default /jbpm.business.calendar.properties in classpath or specify as system property:

Name: jbpm.business.calendar.properties

Datatype: String

Allows to provide alternative classpath location of business calendar configuration file(Chapter 5. Core Engine API)

I apologize for my English.

Greetings!!!
