hello,
I is a software engineer from china.In last year,I plan to study jBPM4.3 but time gone.
when I again start to study this autumn,I found that things gone far away.and I say activiti5.8.
My early work is pringMVC,and used Spring3.0.5 + Mysql5.5.8 + HibernateJPA3.5.6 + SpringMVC.
My question is :How can I integrate activiti5.8 into my SpringMVC project?
thank you a lot.

Hi Kresimir,

These question probably will get a faster and better answer on the forum.

As to your question: Activiti requires indeed a jdbc datasource. As GAE is using its own datastore (BigTable), this will be not possible.

However, you can always use an in-memory database such as H2. I haven’t tried it, but it might work.

Hello,

can Activiti be deployed to Google Apps?
I ask this because I have read that in activiti.cfg.xml you need to specify some persistence stuff: e.g. jdbcUrl, jdbcDriver,…
Is there a way to configure it for Google Apps ?

If not, can other components (except human task) be used without persistence configuration?

Best Regards,
Krešimir

>>1. Easy to integrate with an existing web application ( servlet\jsp).
>>3. Ability o configure multiple process instances with different work flow.

Is there an example available for these?

@Stanley.

1) Please see http://activiti.org/faq.html#WhatIsTheDifferenceBetweenProcessConcurrencyAndJavaConcurrency

2) you would need your own ActivityBehavior implementation. The Multi instance works the same as the parallel gateway. Point is, ‘true’ parallelism gives more problems than it solves for *business* processes (not the same as straight through processes without any human interaction).

I am trying to model real concurrent execution of multiple branches. What I need is basically parallel gateway which has concurrent execution. I understand the implementation is sequencial.

There are many threads on this one topic. I think the community needs an definitive/official answer now.

Two questions:

1) why is PG not truely concurrent? Is there a plan to make it so?

2) Without it, how can I achieve true concurrency?

I read the following about multi instance. Do I achieve true concurrency using it?

1. Yes
2. Yes
3. Yes
4. Yes
5. Processes are not code. So yes and no. You can always deploy a new version of the process at runtime without restarting the system.

For these questions, please use the forum : http://forums.activiti.org/en/viewforum.php?f=3

I am looking for a Process Flow tool that provides the following..

1. Easy to integrate with an existing web application ( servlet\jsp).
2. Ability to write the workflow descriptors in an xml by hand instead of GUI.
3. Ability o configure multiple process instances with different work flow.
4. Ability to use main web application’s sql server db for storing process related data.
5. Ability to alter the process flow ( add/remove nodes or change transition points) without recompiling the code.

Does Activiti provide these options?

Thanks
