Configuring WorkItemHandlers as Spring Beans with jBPM 6.2 / jBPM Services

[vincentp]

Hello,

Configuring WorkItemHandlers as beans in Spring. JBPM 6.1.0 explains how to setup WorkItemHandlers as Spring beans in jBPM 6.1 by the mean of a RegisterableItemsFactory.

How to achieve this with jBPM 6.2 services? Is there an entry point in SpringRuntimeManagerFactoryImpl or KModuleDeploymentService to register WorkItemHandlers?

Thanks.

you could do it by using deployment descriptor where you define work item handlers with special resolver and then implement this interface for spring beans look up. Similar implementations are already for Java reflection and MVEL.

Alternatively you could extend the SpringRuntimeManagerFactoryImpl to override RegisterableItemsFactory instance

Hello,

I opted for the second solution: extending SpringRuntimeManagerFactoryImpl and injecting a custom RegisterableItemsFactory.

Thank you!

Hi guys,

can you please give me a code example of this second solution?

In your opinion can i call a transactional Spring service method from a custom WorkItemHandler using a different transaction manager of the one used by Jbpm?
