[jwt-dev] Questions concerning JWT4SOA and Bonita
|
Hi Mickael, hi Marc
B., hi Pierre,
I started on working
with Bonita today and it's actually quite easy to use. The documentation is well
written and the administration website is very well structured and easily
understandable. I deployed some existing bar files to the engine and executed
them step by step. Then I thought, okay, it should be quite easy to deploy an
existing bar file with some lines of Java code and had a closer look into the
JavaDoc. There, I found that there exists a ManagementAPI interface that allows
to deploy a xpdl- (deprecated) or a bar-file. But since this is only an
interface, there must be some concrete classes in Bonita where this is already
implemented and which I can invoke. Where exactly can I find the right
one?
Then I thought, aah,
now that I have the Bonita engine running, I want to test the monitoring plugin
in JWT. Mickael already sent me the code for the workflow service and I had a
look at our Wiki page, but I had not been successfull. The first thing that I
noticed was, that the server is directly called in the JWT monitoring frame
(compare bug 264167). Using existing tools for server management, is probably
much better. When I add the JWT Monitoring view to Eclipse then I can
right-click and add a new workflow service. But where exactly does the workflow
service come from? I only have the Java code (which is not a plugin), and there
is no window to select a JAR archive or something. So how is the WorkflowService
selected?
The third thing that
is probably quite important for vendors is how to deploy a process directly from
Eclipse. Okay, I already mentioned the server list where each vendor should have
the possibility to register their server (e.g. Nova Bonita or jBPM), but
additionally we will probably need a possibility to deploy the process. This
might either go in the context of the server list (Deploy... Select workflow) or
in the context of the workflow (Export... Deploy to server). I hope that we can
have some discussion on bug 264167 where vendors will express their needs and
then can create an interface which does fit their needs.
Any wishes and
ideas concerning this issue would be helpful.
Thanks for reading
and best regards,
Florian
PS: This is probably something we
could also discuss in a separate telco concerning JWT4SOA. Mickael, if you find
some free time, let us shortly chat what shall be part of this telco and we will
organize it.
