JBPM6 Using JSP for Human Task Forms

[tonycattlin]

Hi,

I was wondering the best way of launching a JSP as a result of a human task being claimed in JBPM6, via the jbpm-console.

My situation is as follows:

- We have an existing application in Oracle BPM and are porting to JBPM

- The front end is currently written using JSPs

- Converting the JSPs to remove Oracle (Fuego) tags is in progress

- We want the quickest way of giving the user the same experience as they currently have, but with the Process Management Engine being JBPM

- Future phases may involve more strategic tech but for now we were hoping this was our quickest option and are looking for guidance

- The JSPs are quite hefty so would likely require a new browser window

Any help would be very much appreciated

cheers

I hope this is possible from the JBPM console.

I guess the answer is not restricted to JSPs. Any UI that is created externally should be possible to invoke from a Human task (then that UI would need to use the Human Task Service to complete etc)

Would really appreciate an opinion on this. I tried building jbpm-console-ng to modify the code but had classpath length problems (Windows!) so hope this is achievable without a custom console.

cheers

Tony, I am looking for a similar solution to call an UI controller from the user task and load the JSP's/JSF's. Any luck on this? If yes, then can you let me know how you achieved it?
