Programmatically generating human task forms with FreeMaker for embedded jbpm5 in a web application

bardelman Aug 30, 2012 11:41 AM

Hi,

i want to embed jbpm5 into a web application , and make it possible to personalize business processes. For this, i want to programmatically generate human task forms from business processes using FreeMaker.. and then probably display these forms using ajax...

i don't want to use the jbpm-console ! i prefer to integrate something similar to it into my own presentation layer..

i ve read the jbpm5-web-example but in this project , human task forms are not dynamically generated.

Please help !

thnx

Hi,

if you read the documentation it states that the task forms need to be in the classpath.
So, in you web application, when the user selects to see a form to do his human task, just generate the form on the fly and place it in the class path. you will probably need to expand the naming of the forms, cause otherwise you get a concurrency issue when 2 different users want to access the same form at the same time.

Hi,
Thnx for your reply but my question was exactly about how to dynamically generate the .ftl files from the .bpmn process's human tasks..
My current solution was to generate these files with eclipse and place them in the classpath as u said but i m still not sure if .ftl files can deal properly with Ajax and with simple <jsp:include> tags..
cheers
