Summary: Support for BPMN call activity
Key: SYNCOPE-1020
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SYNCOPE-1020
Project: Syncope
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: core
Reporter: Francesco Chicchiriccò
Fix For: 2.0.3, 2.1.0
>From the [Activiti User
>Guide|https://www.activiti.org/userguide/#bpmnCallActivity]:
{quote}
BPMN 2.0 makes a distinction between a regular subprocess, often also called
embedded subprocess, and the call activity, which looks very similar. From a
conceptual point of view, both will call a subprocess when process execution
arrives at the activity.
The difference is that the call activity references a process that is external
to the process definition, whereas the subprocess is embedded within the
original process definition. The main use case for the call activity is to have
a reusable process definition that can be called from multiple other process
definitions.
{quote}
It is currently possible to create more process definitions (besides the
default {{userWorkflow}} by empowering the REST endpoint
{code}
PUT /workflows/{anyTypeKind}
{code}
The new process(es) defined can then be called from the main {{userWorkflow}}
via the {{<callActivity/>}} element(s): the main advantage is that, by doing
so, there are no more problems about the process definition versions, as they
only apply to the main process (e.g. {{userWorkflow}}).
What is currently lacking is:
# proper management for getting all available process definitions
# proper handling for initial loading of several process definitions from XML
files
# proper editing features from Admin Console
as all the items above only consider the possibility that a single process
definition is available.
