Hi,
Activiti (http://activiti.org) is a 'superdelux process engine for
Java' (quote from http://forums.activiti.org/ ;)), which uses BPMN 2.0
and comes with Apache Licence. It has some nice management webapps, and
can be run either embedded in java application or e.g. in OSGi
environment.
I wrote simple camel component which enables enables integration with
activiti.
You can invoke camel route from process:
<serviceTask id="serviceTask" activiti:delegateExpression="${camel}"/>
(bpmn 2.0 fragment)
from("activiti:camelProcess:serviceTask")
.to("log:pl.touk")
.setBody().property("var1")
.to("file:///tmp/activiti/serviceTask");
(camelProcess is name of bpmn process, var1 is variable in process)
You can also signal process from camel route:
<receiveTask id="receive" name="Wait State"/>
(bpmn 2.0 fragment)
from( "file:///tmp/activiti/receive")
.convertBodyTo(String.class)
.setProperty("PROCESS_KEY_PROPERTY").xpath("//@key")
.to("activiti:camelProcess:receive");
(PROCESS_KEY_PROPERTY is business process identifier, camelProcess is
bpmn process name)
https://github.com/mproch/camel-activiti - here is the code
https://github.com/mproch/activitiCamelKarafSample - here is sample,
and here http://forums.activiti.org/en/viewtopic.php?f=4&t=630 is
description for activiti forum (it starts with some 'why is camel great
framework ;)).
I'm not sure where does this project really belong to - activiti or
camel (assuming of course that any community would accept this
contribution ;)), however activiti is being developing more rapidly now
(1 month release cycle) so guess it makes more sense to put it in
activiti.
I'd be grateful for any comments/remarks
