@WolfFisher Sure, sorry I missed it.
the jBPM designer is only loosely based on UML, just like jBPM itself has some things from activitydiagrams but jBPM is definately not 'based'' on it . There are testcases (in the sourcecode) for the workflowpatterns. It's how we (jBPM) look at the patterns of how they can be implemented. So in our opinion they are supported. Could be that we implement some more complex node types in the future to support them more easily (at least that is what I heard Tom say once) Regarding the role concept, the result of the identity lookup is an actorID. That is stored. If you do not use pools or so, it is just an ID. IF you want to display the users individual tasks and these group tasks, you have to implement it a loop over the id's. It is not in the api. The taskBean could be extended however with a method that accepts e.g. a string array and returns a complete list of all tasks. For the communication you need a process instance id , task id or whatever you want to signal. If you do not want to use an id directly, you could also build something that keeps a mapping from an id generated by you to the jbpm internal ID. So you do not pass processes, you pass process references. If your computer crashes, jBPM leaves of at the point where the last committed transaction took place. If it was the user performing a task, this task will still be in hist tasklist. If it was an external system, make sure the signalling part participates in the transaction. e.g. by using the async functionality in 3.1 or jms or (if it ever becomes a widelyaccepted standard, WS-Transaction) Backup and housekeeping functionality (keeping the process database small) is currently left to the user View the original post : http://www.jboss.com/index.html?module=bb&op=viewtopic&p=3911028#3911028 Reply to the post : http://www.jboss.com/index.html?module=bb&op=posting&mode=reply&p=3911028 ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc.
