Services
Mobile
Clients
● Centralized Execution Server
● REST, JMS and Native Java
Interfaces out of the box
● Native Java Client that
interfaces through REST
● Clusterable, Scalable Server
●

10. 10
Core Services: Development Repository
● GIT Based – Universally
accepted
● Enterprise features like tagging,
branching etc
● No repository migration hassles
● Browse any GIT repository
● Import and Export
● Indexed searching

11. 11
Knowledge Management

12. 12
Choice of Tools
Business User Friendly – Web Based Developer Friendly – IDE Based

13. 13
Core Services: Integration with FSW
Switchyard
● Defined SY task in Designer
● Direct invocation of SY
services from Process
● SY can instantiate a business
process
● SY can signal a process
● SY can execute a task

Assets
Core Services

25. 25
Deploy: Packaging, Deployment Repository
● Maven Packages
● Build – Creates a kjar – Includes all assets – process
definitions, classes, forms, images etc
● Deploy – Deploy to a Maven repo
● Applications can pull from Maven Repo
● Dependency management with other libraries – Share
libraries
● Integrate with SRAMP – Governance in multi stage
● Configure Maven Repo location

26. 26
Deploy: How Deploy Works

27. 27
Migrating from 5.3 to 6
● Things to Consider in migration
● New development repository – JCR to GIT
● New Packaging – PKG to Maven JARs
● New APIs – Knowledge APIs to KIE
● Legacy KIE APIs are still supported
● All assets – process defs, DRLs, Decision Tables,
models work as is

Under the hoods

New Core Features
● RuntimeManager:
● Session + TaskService management
● CDI integration
● Execution server
● Remote API
● REST, JMS
● Deployment using kjar

41. 41
RuntimeManager
● Access to KieSession and TaskService
● Hides setup complexity
● Manages sessions
● Singleton session
● Session per request
● Session per process instance
Kie
Session
Task
Service
RuntimeManager

42. 42
RuntimeManager Example
RuntimeManager manager =
RuntimeManagerFactory.Factory.get()
.newPerProcessInstanceRuntimeManager(environment);
RuntimeEngine runtime =
manager.getRuntimeEngine(
ProcessInstanceIdContext.get(id));
KieSession ksession = runtime.getKieSession();
// do something here, e.g.
ksession.startProcess(“org.jbpm.hello”);
manager.disposeRuntimeEngine(engine);
manager.close();

43. 43
jBPM Services (CDI)
● Inject services into your CDI environment
@Inject @Singleton RuntimeManager
singletonManager;
@Inject TaskService taskService;
● Configure (@Produces) EMF, environment,
usergroupcallback

44. 44
jBPM Execution Server
● Execute process and task commands
● Through UI
● Remote API
● Clustered environment
● High Availability
● Load balancing

45. 45

Request1
Quartz +
Helix + Zookeeper

46. 46
Remoting
● KieSession and TaskService
● Possibly more later
● Uses RuntimeManager
● Using REST or JMS
● JAXB + JSON
● Remote client using existing interfaces

47. 47
REST API
http://server.address:port/{application-id}/rest/
runtime
{id: [a-zA-Z0-9-]+} // deploymentId
process
{id: [a-zA-Z0-9-]+}
start * start process [POST]
instance
{id: d} * process instance details [GET]
signal * signal event [POST]
abort * abort process instance [POST]
signal
{id: [a-zA-Z0-9-]+} * signal event [POST]
workitem
{id: d}
complete * complete work item [POST]
abort * abort work item [POST]
execute * execute the given command [POST]
task
{id: d+} * task details [GET]
activate * activate task
claim * claim task [POST]
// etc..
execute * execute the given command [POST]
query * task query

48. 48
Command Serialization
● JAXB serialization of commands
● e.g. Start task
<command-message>
<deploymentId>test</deploymentId>
<ver>1</ver>
<start-task>
<taskId>1</taskId>
<userId>krisv</userId>
</start-task>
</command-message>

49. 49
REST Client Example
RuntimeEngine runtimeEngine =
new RemoteRestSessionFactory(
"org.jbpm:HR:1.0”,
“http://localhost:8080/jbpm-console",
AuthenticationType.BASIC, "krisv", "krisv")
.newRuntimeEngine();
engine.getKieSession().startProcess("org.jbpm.humantask");
engine.getTaskService().start(1, "krisv");
