Accessing jbpm 4.4 forms externally

hugjacq Dec 20, 2011 12:39 PM

Hello,

I am using jbpm 4.4.

I am trying to be able to view Human Task forms in an external app. I saw that I could use the REST web service to get the rendered form, however the target of the <form> tag is localhost even when I'm calling the web service from another computer.
Is there anything I can do to change the "${form.action}" value so it gets the external ip address instead of localhost ?
Thank you.

REST interface sets the form action to the server where it (REST) is deployed to be able to interact with the task service to complete the task.

I assume that the REST server is still deployed and accessed on localhost, correct?

If so, you need to modify following properties:
jbpm.console.server.host
jbpm.console.server.port

you should find them in jbpm.console.cfg.xml.

Thank you for your fast reply.

The REST server is indeed deployed and accessed on localhost.
I found the jbpm.console.cfg.xml in ${jbpm.home}/src, however changing the value in it didn't change anything. Do I have to reload it somehow ? or redeploy it somewhere ?

I think you need to change the file that is embedded in jbpm.jar file or configure it with alternative file that will override the defaults.

Thank you,

I changed the file in jbpm.jar and it works like a charm now.
