Definitely looking to solve the general case.

In the typical case, the process is not changed once started, but occasionally 
either the task assignment has to change (prior to the task being assigned) or 
a new user and new task assigned. Sometimes the task is removed, but that's a 
relatively easy case that I've got working now.

Some notes:

1) assignments can't be taken from a pool for the tasks. They are very specific 
and are set up when the process is created (using custom assignment handlers 
that get the assignment name from the data given in the process definition's 
XML).

2) each process definition is unique because of the above.

3) we have custom web-based process authoring that allows the process author to 
assign variable numbers of parallel tasks. The forks and joins are added by my 
code in this case. While the processes always have the same general sequence, 
entire sets of nodes may not be created if the process author has decided that 
those steps are not necessary for a particular case. Being red-blooded human 
users though, they sometimes change their minds.

I saw the subprocess capability, but have not looked into it in depth yet. I'll 
check it out to see if it applies. Of course, I'm looking to avoid a big code 
rewrite if I can.

Here's a scenario to consdier:

A (part of a) process has the following steps. The first step has to be 
completed (i.e. its task completed) before moving to the next step.

1) person A does task AA
2) persons B, C and D do tasks BB, CC and DD in parallel
3) person E does task EE

In the graph this looks like (very roughly) task node AA to fork node to task 
nodes BB, CC, DD to join node to task node EE. The process is started and gets 
to step 1. Now the process author decides he needs to add person Z to do task 
ZZ in parallel with persons B, C and D in step 2. He wants to just add this in 
to the running process. This is what I'm trying to solve.

[jboss-user] [JBoss jBPM] - Modifying a process already in progress

2007-08-28 Thread lfelser
This isn't a normal thing to do I realize, but I want to be able to modify the 
unreached parts of a process which is already part-way done.

This process includes tasknodes that have been reached, with some tasks created 
and ended and some created but not ended and some of course not yet created 
because the task node has not been reached.

My thought is to copy the running process instance's process definition and 
dummy up the nodes to look like they've reached the state of the process 
instance I want to modify. The tasks present a bit of a problem and I was 
thinking that I could just unhook the module instance that is the 
taskmanagementinstance from the old process and hook it to the new 
processinstance modeule instances. Does this sound like a bad idea?

Is there a better way in general to modify a running process?

Thanks!

I have been floundering for a few hours here after upgrading to 3.2 and I think 
this little quote would answer all my problems, IFF I knew which "other post" 
you were referencing here:

however is that you do have to configure the login module. (as is described in 
the other post).

[jboss-user] [JBoss jBPM] - jbpm and gwt

2007-01-28 Thread lfelser
This might be more of an Eclipse or GWT question than a jBPM question, but I'm 
working in Eclipse and using jBPM and the Google Web Toolkit (GWT). My issue is 
that I can't get (debug) logging to place messages in the Eclipse console. When 
I debug the jBPM samples and unit tests, the console logging works fine, but I 
get no messages when debugging my app.

Anybody seen this or have any ideas?

Thanks much,

LF

[jboss-user] [JBoss jBPM] - Re: Using my own identity database

2006-10-05 Thread lfelser
I have a similar question to this one. 

The starters documentation (which is great, by the way) says "JBoss jBPM has an 
identity module that has the concepts of users, groups, and memberships.  This 
information is stored in the database that JBoss jBPM uses by default, but you 
can change it to use LDAP or a 3rd party identity solution."

I want to get user info from a module that talks to our Active Directory, but 
I'm unclear on how to do this, where to hook it in, etc.

Thanks for any help.

Larry
