    Problems with usage python language in jpdl.xml

      Hello everyone!

       

      I am confused by usage of simple python script in jpdl.xml file.

      For example :

      <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?

        <process name="ScriptText" xmlns="http://jbpm.org/4.3/jpdl">

       

        <start g="16,22,80,40">
          <transition to="invoke script" />
        </start>

       

      <script name="invoke script" var="text" lang="python" g="113,18,104,52">
      <text>
      #!/usr/local/bin/python
      # coding=utf-8
      import sys
      print "start test!"
      testvar = 2 * 2 + 90;print "testvar=", testvar

      </text>
      <transition to="wait" />
      </script>

        <state name="wait" g="266,18,80,52"/>

      </process>

       

      But I got that StackTrace

      ### EXCEPTION ###########################################
      16:38:14,027 INF | [DefaultCommandService] exception while executing command org.jbpm.pvm.internal.cmd.StartProcessInstanceInLatestCmd@1bae5f5
      org.jbpm.api.JbpmException: script evaluation error: NameError: name 'testvar' is not defined in <script> at line number 6

       

      What is this ? I can`t get the value of this variable!!!

      Everyone could help me!?

          Now jBPM 4 could support JUEL, beanshell and groovy, If you want to use python in jpdl.xml, you should create a new ScriptEngineFactory, may be PythonScriptEngineFactory and put it into <script-manager>.

           

          The default <script-manager> configuration is as following:

           

          <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

           

          <jbpm-configuration>

           

            <process-engine-context>
           
              <script-manager default-expression-language="juel"
                              default-script-language="juel">
                <script-language name="juel" factory="org.jbpm.pvm.internal.script.JuelScriptEngineFactory" />
                <script-language name="bsh" factory="org.jbpm.pvm.internal.script.BshScriptEngineFactory" />
                <script-language name="groovy" factory="org.jbpm.pvm.internal.script.GroovyScriptEngineFactory" />
              </script-manager>
             
            </process-engine-context>

           

          </jbpm-configuration>

            Thahks, Huisheng Xu for your replay!! But I`ve included python factory into jbpm.default.scriptmanager.xml.

            I`ve done it as this one - <script-language name="python" factory="org.python.jsr223.PyScriptEngineFactory" />.

             

            And i checked it debuging code. So, in the class org.jbpm.pvm.internal.script.ScriptManager in the method evaluate(String script, String language)

            I`ve got object ScriptEngine = org.python.jsr223.PyScriptEngine@6ca716

            which have object interp = org.python.util.PythonInterpreter@17cd18d

            and object factory = org.python.jsr223.PyScriptEngineFactory@f92541.

             

            <script name="invoke script" var="text" lang="python" g="113,18,104,52">
            <text>import sys;print "start test!";testvar1 = 2 * 2 + 90;print "testvar1=", testvar1</text>
            <transition to="wait" />
            </script>

            By this means that python is visible in jpdl.xml. But when evaluate(ScriptEngine scriptEngine, String script) is run then throw Exception

            javax.script.ScriptException: NameError: name 'testvar1' is not defined in <script> at line number 1. For some reason variables can`t be remembered.

             

            May be I try to use wrong factory org.python.jsr223.PyScriptEngineFactory???

            If somebody hade met with this strangeness.

             

            Thanks alot for replies!!! Andrew

              Hi Andrey. If you set a process varaible named 'testvar1', then the script activity will run success. This is my test case:

               

              public void testJava() {
                      this.deployJpdlClasspath("jpdl/x10script/X1003PythonTest.jpdl.xml");

               

                      Map map = new HashMap();
                      map.put("testvar1", 10);

               

                      ProcessInstance processInstance = executionService
                          .startProcessInstanceByKey("X1003PythonTest", map);
                      assertTrue(processInstance.isEnded());
                  }

               

              The content of jpdl.xml is as same as yours. But if I am not set a 'testvar1' variable, then the same Exception occured. I have checked the source of GroovyScriptEngineFactory, there were a lot of codes to evaluate the groovy snipts, I afraid that if you want to use local variable in script actviity, you should do it by yourself.

                Thahks, Huisheng Xu for your replay!!!

                 

                I have told about locale variable.

                So, script on groovy

                <script name="invoke script" var="text" lang="groovy" g="113,18,104,52">
                <text>
                  int xxx = 13 + 54*12
                   println "$xxx -HELLO!"

                </text>
                <transition to="wait" />
                </script>

                 

                Print following result 661 -HELLO!

                And how we see int xxx = 13 + 54*12 remembered and printed !!!!!!!

                 

                 

                But script on python language
                <text>
                yyy = 13 + 54*12
                print yyy, "-HELLO!"
                </text>

                throw org.jbpm.api.JbpmException: script evaluation error: javax.script.ScriptException: groovy.lang.MissingPropertyException: No such property: yyy for class: Script1

                 

                It is strange!

                 

                Thanrs a lot Andrey.

                  Hi !

                  I had localized this problem. The class org.jbpm.pvm.internal.script.EnvironmentBindings doesn`t store locale variables from script:

                  public Object put(String key, Object value) {
                      return null;
                  }

                   

                  Groovy engine ignores it and stores local variables in its own storage.

                  Jython engine obeys the limitations of Bindings, so it can`t store local variables if Bindings doesn`t allow it!!!!!

                   

                  If is it desireable behaviour ?

                  Possible solution is adding local storage to EnvironmentBindings and to allow putting values in it.

                  Such as :

                  private HashMap<String, Object> locals = new HashMap<String, Object>();


                  public Object put(String key, Object value) {
                       return null;
                  }


                  public Object get(Object key) {

                      if (locals.containsKey((String)key))

                        return locals.get((String)key);

                      else
                        return environment.get((String)key);
                  }

                   

                  What do you think about this?

                   

                  Thanks a lot, Andrew
