SEAM + jBPM question

Hi guys!

I have to create a application using SEAM and jBPM. In short, the application needs to create workflows and run them using jBPM. Supposing I have the xml that describes the workflow, I need to deploy it somewhere and somehow, and of course start it. You can find a demo here: http://docs.jboss.com/jbpm/v3/demos/movies/jbpm-overview.htm. I need to be able to deploy the xml as a result of a client action. The xml resides of course on the server side. In the example, after deploy, the task that reflects the workflow is started, and runed. I want to be able to also do the same thing, start the new deployed task. Can this be done in a SEAM web app ? If you have some ideas, i would be more than greatfull. Of course, any links to what I should read to be able to do a thing like that is also welcomed.

Any idea, even the smallest one, is more than welcomed.

Thanks,
Alex

Hi,

Searching google for "seam example jbpm" gave me this link: http://www.redhat.com/docs/manuals/jboss/jboss-eap-4.2/doc/seam/Seam_Reference_Guide/Seam_Tutorial-A_complete_application_featuring_Seam_and_jBPM_the_DVD_Store_example.html

there you can read this:
The administration screens take use jBPM to manage the approval and shipping cycle for orders. The business process may even be changed dynamically, by selecting a different process definition!

Checking this example will get you started (it helped me a lot), you can also use seam-gen to create the app skeleton for you.
