      Hi,

       

      In jbpm5 I'd like to show to my user the user task form in a portlet in a Portal.

          Forms are just normal HTML web pages.  The console simply opens forms by navigating to the right URL in a popup frame.  So I guess you can just open the same url in any other web application as well?

            Really thanks for your reply,

             

            1. the good idea is to I put process defination and related .ftl file in Drools guvnor.

            Is there any way that I can get the path of .ftl file in Drools gunor to I can include theme in a frame?

             

            2. waht about form submit? in current .ftl files we have:

            <form action="complete" method="POST" enctype="multipart/form-data">

             

            If i show the form in a portlet, where does it should submit and who is take care of that?

             

            Thanks again

              Take a look at the jbpm-gwt-form module, that handles that exactly.  So the forms would use the REST service that is part of the jbpm-console to get the form, submit results etc.  That REST service gets the forms from guvnor.

                Hi Kris,

                 

                thanks for your reply,

                I checked out the  jbpm-gwt codes from github and read its codes.

                I figured out that there is some classes like CommandDelegate,ProcessManager,... that they are the core of connection to repository and manage process.

                 

                I want to get list of ProcessDefinitions and ProcessInstances , so I did it:

                 

                get list of process definitions:



                		List<ProcessDefinitionRef> processDefinitions  =  processManager.getProcessDefinitions();

                that it works properly

                 

                but I want get list of process Instances:

                 

                List<ProcessDefinitionRef> processDefinitions  =  processManager.getProcessDefinitions();

                for(ProcessDefinitionRef processDefinition : processDefinitions){

                    List<ProcessInstanceRef> processInstances  =  processManager.getProcessInstances(processDefinition.getId());

                    System.out.println("ProcessDefinition Id=" + processDefinition.getId() + " Size=" + processInstances.size() )

                }

                but the List is empty and  no processInstances return.

                I started some processInstances in jbpm-gwt console and I can see now list of them.

                Would you please help me ?

                 

                Thanks
