Sorry, I've got a mistake, i've quickly posted the last question and I got confused... I wanted to know if is it possible to invoke external web services from the jPDL, not from BPEL... I've used the getting started with jbpm and I designed a little process as found in there. So I have some task, but I cannot understand how can I invoke external web services from.

Dario, To the best of my knowledge, there's no support for web services in JBPM proper. Ronald, Have you ever actually tried to search for this? Finding a message that isn't about BPEL is difficult. I suspect that the search engine may not be doing NOT correctly - at least, I couldn't get it to work right. For example, searching for the query jbpm and Web and not BPEL or jbpm and Web not BPEL got great hits like ebony porn video, free gay sex movie.

Ed... Uhmm yes and no, Never used the word 'not' in the forum search. I often use google. could be that the keyword not is not working. That would be a shame. Still... people should at least try to search this fine forum, and if nothing comes up, post a question and MENTION they did not find anything. Oh, and btw, yes, things are a bit looser in the Netherlands. Funny, everywhere I come in the Caribbean, especially Jamaica, they do not understand that I do not smoke pot (heck I don't even smoke at all) and never go go a prostitute (even though I'm not married and no girlfriend at the moment) Regarding the search functionality, I'll urge the jboss people to hurry with the new forums since we have problems using them in the way they are.

Yes you can invoke external webservices. That is what BPEL is used for ...for service orchestration.

Hello estaub, The wiki talks about installation when you have downloaded JBPM starter's kit. In my case I have downloaded JBoss 4.0.5GA and JBPM-BPEL extension 1.1 beta3. Like I said I have installed couple of BPEL processes already so the setup is right. The JBPM engine is already on JBoss. When I try to access http://localhost:8080/jbpm I get following exception. javax.faces.FacesException: java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: org.jbpm.web.JbpmThreadsServlet org.apache.myfaces.util.ClassUtils.simpleClassForName(ClassUtils.java:162) org.apache.myfaces.webapp.webxml.WebXml.getFacesServletMappings(WebXml.java:89) org.apache.myfaces.application.jsp.JspViewHandlerImpl.getServletMapping(JspViewHandlerImpl.java:347) org.apache.myfaces.application.jsp.JspViewHandlerImpl.renderView(JspViewHandlerImpl.java:199) org.apache.myfaces.lifecycle.LifecycleImpl.render(LifecycleImpl.java:300) javax.faces.webapp.FacesServlet.service(FacesServlet.java:95) So looks like I missing some jar?

Yes I copied that jar already but get different exception now. I did not have that jar already installed on my JBoss since I had installed both JBoss and Jbpm-BPEL extension separately. I downloaded JBPM core 3.1.4 now and copied that jar file to my lib folder in JBoss. Now I get this exception - javax.servlet.ServletException: Cannot get value for expression '#{userBean.userSelectItems}' javax.faces.webapp.FacesServlet.service(FacesServlet.java:109) org.apache.jasper.runtime.PageContextImpl.doForward(PageContextImpl.java:688) org.apache.jasper.runtime.PageContextImpl.forward(PageContextImpl.java:658) Looks like the tables are not created in the database. Anyway I will play around it some more. About STFF --- that was funny; I choose not to get offended by it. Though for a developer who has to complete the investigation in couple of weeks, find out the best BPEL engine which will statisfy the company's most of the requirements, it can become really frustrating with little documentation that we get. The difference is JBPM developers [for that matter developer on any given product] 'live' JBPM day in and out and we don't. We are trying to get there in very short period of time.

The console is a module of the jBPM jPDL installation. jBPM BPEL 1.1.Beta3 builds on jBPM 3.2.Beta1, so that is the distribution you are looking for. Please visit the sourceforge file releases. Once you unzip the distribution, go to jbpm-jpdl-3.2.Beta1/deploy and you will find the console there. Currently, the console offers monitoring features for jPDL only. I am starting a discussion in the design forum about BPEL support. If you'd like, follow the discussion there. anonymous wrote : for a developer who has to complete the investigation in couple of weeks, find out the best BPEL engine which will satisfy the company's most of the requirements, it can become really frustrating with little documentation that we get.

For a developer who has to read specs, implement a product, test in as many environments as possible, write documentation, find meaningful examples, give support to customers and still manage to find time to answer questions in the forums, it is frustrating to have a 72-page manual called 'little' documentation. Agreed: it might not be enough. However, you might be surprised at how poorly documented are some of the jBPM BPEL dependencies, despite their technical merit. Instead of bashing the creators, I appreciate their effort, dive into their code to avoid bothering them with trivial issues and contribute improvements whenever I can. Free open source not only means free to download but also free to review and free to improve.

So if I understand correctly, there's no such API that would help me to access the runtime evolution of a bpel scenario. One solution you're proposing is to look into the bpel process log file or DB, which does not seem very convenient ... I thought there would be some facilities provided to access the bpel engine at runtime and thus get 'live' information on a running bpel process and use it to refresh a web interface. Is that correct?

[jboss-user] [JBoss jBPM] - Re: Choosing JBPM?
Depends on what your definition of running is a running jpdl/bpel process can be in a state of doing nothing. Waiting for external input. Should that be kept in memory? Would be a nice requirement although it would highly conflict with one of the other requirements: high volume of running processes. And yes there is an api, but that goes into the db (as per the above requirement). Besides that, how often are you going to refresh the page... once every minute? maybe even less, how complex would this page be? What you are actually describing is business activity monitoring with downdrilling to individual processes. So again... be very, very specific on what you want. There is a page on the wiki about BAM to as well as a jira issue. Read those help us by specifiing in more detail what you want.

[jboss-user] [JBoss jBPM] - Re: Choosing JBPM?
Ok... I'll try to explain better... I want a web page. In this web page I want to show a BPEL scenario. I want this BPEL scenario to be dynamic, it means I also want to represent the changes at run time. I think that, client side, the dynamism can be obtained by using ajax technology. The refresh can be every 10/15 seconds. If I use ajax technology I think that the complexity of the page won't make influence in the refresh, isn't it? In this scenario I want to represent the Business Process Tree, and, in some way, to represent the events that happen. Making an example, I want to see some information about every service of the business process (every state of the business process tree), such as a counter that tell me how many objects have passed this service, or how many objects there are in the queue... and things like this. If the bpel process is doing nothing it means that in my bpel scenario I won't see any change. I hope it's clear...

I mean process monitoring as having a web interface (implemented with flash, or ajax, or others) where I can see, at run time, the evolution of objects each time that they receive a web service of my business process. This evolution might be represented by icons colors, or icons changes, or something like this...

Actually I'm just starting in using business processes, jbpm, and all this, and I'm exploring the solutions, so I'm sorry if I place stupid questions... :) Well, I try to explain better. Firstly, my objects are documents (application forms, motivation letters, CV, etc...) Imagine a document to have to be validated by somebody. The validation is made, in my system, by a web service. In my interface I want to see, e.g., the scenario of the web services, an icon (representing the service which has validated the document) which change color for a moment when the object document is validated, and some additional information (the name of the document, or the history of the services received in the scenario by the documents, etc...). My interface will be a web interface, I repeat, and I want to see all this in an animation in a web page (made using flash, jsp, applet, ajax, etc). I think that I can do it if you tell me that I can see (and use) the process variables, isn't it?

jBPM offers two different process languages. Any of them let you to orchestrate web services. BPEL is fully oriented to web services, but it does not let you directly incorporate user tasks or Java components. Conversely, jPDL lets you easily incorporate Java code and human intervention. Currently no special support exists for web services, but you can use existing Java APIs to consume and produce web services. Since both languages are implemented with the same building blocks, you can use a common API to manage and monitor processes in either language. The Console subproject provides you with JSF-based web interface to examine and manipulate process definitions, instances, task lists and more.
