What I meant is if you have dependent modules they should be aggregated into single one that will have all those modules defined as dependencies so there will be single unit of deployment that will have access to all required classes and assets. And yes, you can do it dynamically where you'll get one to one relationship between RuntimeManager and KieContainer. You can create RuntimeManagers (and then close) them on demand - meaning it is completely dynamic. That's the same way jbpm console does it, allows you at any time to deploy or undeploy units (kjars). > Serge Huber wrote: > > Also, if I understand you correctly, once I have the KieContainer with all > the dependencies, I should use that to initialize the RuntimeManager ?

Yes, best way is to use RuntimeEnvironmentBuilder as it allows you to configure all pieces in quite simple way. There are some helpers in RuntimeManager that helps to set it up. Take a look at: https://github.com/droolsjbpm/jbpm/blob/master/jbpm-runtime-manager/src/main/java/org/jbpm/runtime/manager/impl/KModuleRegisterableItemsFactory.java KModuleRegisterableItemsFactory this shall be used to setup KieSessions by RuntimeManager when RuntimeEngine is created. It uses kmodule.xml definitions to find the right configuration. In general what you would need to do is: 1. create default RuntimeEnvironment using RuntimeEnvironmentBuilder 2. set KModuleRegisterableItemsFactory as registerableItemsFactory on builder 3. set KieBase taken from KieContainer on builder 4. set Clasloader taken from KieContainer on builder 5. most likely set EntityManagerFactory on builder otherwise it will create it's own 6. based on your user and group management set proper UserGroupCallback on builder That should give you complete environment for most of the cases. I'll be working on examples in upcoming week so hopefully that will give more insight into details. > Serge Huber wrote: > > I must say that I'm integrating both the BPM and the Rules part, and my OSGi > modules contain both.

Completely understand that, due to the amount of work for 6 we did not have time for documentation and examples but soon these will start coming in which shall make the transition from previous versions easier. Feel free to post questions here so we can make sure code is written in the best way on both ends HTH -- Reply to this message by going to Community [https://community.jboss.org/message/831697#831697] Start a new discussion in jBPM at Community [https://community.jboss.org/choose-container!input.jspa?contentType=1&containerType=14&container=2034] ___ jboss-user mailing list jboss-user@lists.jboss.org https://lists.jboss.org/mailman/listinfo/jboss-user

Now I have a few more questions. You talk about setting up a module that aggregates all dependencies, but as I'm dealing with OSGi modules, I cannot know in advance which modules will be deployed or not. Isn't there a way to do this dynamically ? Also, if I understand you correctly, once I have the KieContainer with all the dependencies, I should use that to initialize the RuntimeManager ? Do I use the RuntimeEnvironmentBuilder to do that ? Any example you could provide would be really great. I must say that I'm integrating both the BPM and the Rules part, and my OSGi modules contain both. I'm actually in the process of upgrading from jBPM 4.4 all this codebase so I'm struggling a bit in making sure I'm using the new APIs correctly, as I want to avoid using stuff that might get deprecated (as it seems that some of the jBPM 5 code will be).

When it comes to multiple modules I would say that best would be to have top level module that aggregates all dependencies to other modules and then build up KieContainer for it. Once KieContainer is ready it can be used to get important parts of it: * KieBase * KieSession model These two can be consumed by RuntimeManager and the RuntimeEnvironment to provide flexible execution environment. This is the approach that jbpm-kie-services deliver and are fully CDI based. There has been some work done around RuntimeManager for spring too so might be something to look at. As you already mentioned there is not much documentation yet but soon it will start coming in, meanwhile take a look at kie-spring and kie-aries-blueprint modules of https://github.com/droolsjbpm/droolsjbpm-integration droolsjbpm-integration. Maybe it will bring you something useful if not feel free to open jira for improvements you think are needed.
