I'm currently working with JBpm Kie. We have processes with custom workitem (and custom work item handlers code). We find very difficult to debug our code as our workItem handlers are mainly asynchronous and completed via REST api.
I read that workItem handlers can be provided to KIE engine through a maven repository (I'm very new to Maven). . Id' love to know if I can configure my PC as Maven repository and to debug my code as it is requested by jBpm processes. Is it possible?
Sounds like you talking about the feature to provide your own workitem repository. Which is described here in more detail: http://mswiderski.blogspot.com/2018/07/easy-workitem-installation-jbpm.html
But please note that this won‘t solve your request for debugging your workitemhandler code. This can be archived with writing Unittests (easy) or by putting them into a spring boot jbpm starter project and run it there (hard).
BTW: the last option is used by the JBPM project themself to test there Product.

Could anyone please explain the difference between application and integration service in IIB. I have referred through documentation but it was not clear. For example, if I have to create a service based on wsdl which has some 3 operations.Should I create it as integration service or application.Please suggest
So with an Application it's roll your own in that you have to build everything.
With an Integration Service you can import a WSDL and the framework of your flow will be generated for you.
So if you are being given WSDL's for the services you want to build then using an IS may be the way to go.
Personally I don't like some of the aspects of the generated code but that's me. I'm currently working on a project that uses REST API's and am using the REST API project option for my projects and it generates code.
Just looking for some information if others have solved this pattern. I want to use Spring Integration and Spring Batch together. Both of these are SpringBoot applications and ideally I'd like to keep them and their respective configuration separated, so they are both their own executable jar. I'm having problems executing them in their own process space and I believe I want, unless someone can convince me otherwise, each to run like they are their own Spring Boot app and initialize themselves with their own profiles and properties. What I'm having trouble with though is the invocation of the job in my SpringBatch project from my SpringIntegration project. At first I couldn't get the properties loaded from the batch project, so I realized I need to pass the spring.active.profiles as a Job Parameter and that seemed to solve that. But there are other things in the Spring Boot Batch application that aren't loading correctly like the schema-platform.sql file and the database isn't getting initialized, etc.
On this initial launch of the job I might want the response to go back to Spring Integration for some messaging on Job Status. There might be times when I want to run a job without Spring Integration kicking off the job, but still take advantage of sending statuses back to the Spring Integration project providing its listening on a channel or something.
I've reviewed quite a few Spring samples and have yet to find my exact scenario, most are with the two dependencies in the same project, so maybe I'm doing something that's not possible, but I'm sure I'm just missing a little something in the Spring configuration.
My questions/issues are:
I don't want the Spring Integration project to know anything about the SpringBatch configuration other than the job its kicking off. I have found a good way to do that reference to the Job Bean without getting my entire batch configuration loading.
Should I keep these two projects separated or would it be better to combine them since I have two-way communication between both.
How should the Job be launch from the integration project. We're using the spring-batch-integration project with JobLaunchRequest and JobLauncher. This seems to run it in the same process as the Spring Integration project and I'm missing a lot of my SpringBootBatch projects initialization
Should I be using a CommandLineRunner instead to force it to another process.
Is SpringApplication.run(BatchConfiguration.class) the answer?
Looking for some general project configuration setup to meet these requirements.
Spring Cloud Data Flow in combination with Spring Cloud Task does exactly what you're asking. It launches Spring Cloud Task applications (which can contain batch jobs) as new processes on the platform you choose. I'd encourage you to check out that project here: http://cloud.spring.io/spring-cloud-dataflow/
We are using jBPM EAP 6.4 version. We are developing the JBPM workflows and rules using business central console tool.
We want to implement Continuous integration in our project. How can we implement the CI if we use Business central console for our changes ? Normally Jenkins (other build server) listens repository server for changes, as soon as developer pushes the changes to repository, immediately it will trigger the build and deploy.
But in our case we are developing everything using the console.How to achieve CI in this special case or any recommended approach to implement CI in jBPM ?
Can you please suggest..
Thanks
Just a pointer,
The work bench (business central control) is pointing to a git repository (by default), so essentially, when you are interacting to the work bench, you are doing actions very similar to a normal scenario, that is, where a developer commits to a git repository.
User documentation jBPM - VFS repository
Hope this gives a direction.
Repositories in Business Central use virtual file system based on Git and each time you save something in one of the editors a commit is made. You can create a Git hook on your repository which will trigger some action after each commit.
I'm building "read-only" webservice (Google Cloud Endpoints as backend for an Android App) so I created a project using maven:
mvn archetype:generate -Dappengine-version=1.9.10 -Dfilter=com.google.appengine.archetypes:
and selecting archetype hello-endpoints-archetype to have some sample code to work on.
This works well and my app is correctly calling the service as expected (and the service is correctly supplying the data in return).
Now I have to implement an "update" service to periodically (4 to 6 times a dya) update the data supplied to the app. So I added a servlet to my project to be called by cron. Trouble is: one of the library used during this update uses multi-threads which cause an AccessControlException to be thrown because apparently multi-thread is only allowed in backend modules...
But after having read dozens of pages on google app engine, I still don't know how to "break" my application into modules so that particular servlet would be run as a backend module while the already existing servlet keep working as they do. So far, all I got was that I should use an EAR application composed of several WAR modules, but I don't even know if my current application is an EAR or not...
I'm using Eclipse Luna, maven 3.2.1 (embeded with Eclipse), google app engine 1.9.10, writing in Java
Could anyone please help me by explaining the directory structure and/or configuration files I have to look at, modify and/or add?
Thanks for any help provided!
You can find an example of multi-modules project here.
However, note that even in backend modules the threading is limited to 50 threads, as stated here.
I would like to set up an infrastructure for integration testing.
Currently we bootstrap tomcat using maven and then execute httpunit tests.
But the current solution has few drawbacks.
Any changes committed to the database need to be rollback manually in the end if the test
Running code coverage on integration test is not straight forward (we are using sonar).
My goals are:
Allow automatic rollback between tests (hopefully using String #transaction and #rollback)
Simple straight forward code coverage
Using #RunWith that will bootstrap the system from JUnit and not externally
Interacting with live servlets and javascript (I consider switching from httpuinit to selenium…)
Reasonable execution time (at least not longer than the existing execution time)
The goals above look reasonable to me and common to many Java/J2ee projects.
I was thinking to achieve those goals by using Arquillian and Arquillian Spring Framework Extension component.
See also https://github.com/arquillian/arquillian-showcase/
Does anyone have and experience with Arquillian and with Arquillian Spring Framework Extension?
Can you share issues best practices and lesson learned?
Can anyone suggest an alternative approach to the above?
I can't fully answer your question. only some tips
Regarding the automatic rollback. In my case. Using liquibase to init the test data on "hsqldb" or "h2" which could be set as in-memory pattern. Then no need to roll back.
For Arquillian. It's a good real testing approach. What i learned is that "Arauillian Spring Framework Extension" is just a extension. You have to bind to a specific container like "jboss, glasshfish,tomcat" to make the test run.
But i don't know how to apply for a spring-based javaSE program which do not need application server support.
My lesson learned is the jboss port conflict. since jboss-dist is set 8080 as default http port. But our company proxy is same as 8080. So i can't use maven to get the jboss-dist artifact.
Hope others can give more info.
