[Jbpm-users] Consider the JBoss Innovation Award for jBPM

[Tom B. <tom...@jb...>]

Hi jBPM-user,

I would like to encourage all JBoss jBPM users to come out with their
stories.  One way of contributing to the jBPM community is letting
others know why you picked jBPM and in what situation you're using it.

To help people get over the treshold, JBoss has launched the Innovation
Awards: http://www.jbossworld.com/innovation_award.htm  Don't be shy and
tell about your project.  You might end up at the VIP executive dinner
table with Marc Fleury and other keynote speakers at this years JBoss
World in Las Vegas.

[Jbpm-users] JBoss jBPM 3.1 final released

[Tom B. <tom...@jb...>]

Hi jBPM-user,

JBoss jBPM 3.1 final has been released.  Downloadable at sourceforge:
http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=3D70542&package_id=3D=
1
45174&release_id=3D393399

From the release notes: The main updates from 3.0.x to 3.1:
 * Asynchronous continuations (see user guide Chapter 'Asynchronous
continuations')=20
 * Configuration framework (see user guide Chapter 'Configuration')=20
 * Task instance variables (see user guide Chapter 'Task Management'
section 'Task controllers')=20
 * Externalized the hibernate queries: (see user guide Chapter
'Customizing queries')=20
 * Added support for JSF like expressions in actions and assignments:
(see user guide section 'Expressions'). As part of this, the decision
expression attribute was changed, breaking backwards compatibility: see
also below in the section jPDL XML Schema Changes.=20
 * TaskInstanceFactory replaced the task instance class configuration
(see user guide Chapter 'Task Management' section 'Customizing task
instances')=20

A migration guide is present in the release.notes.html

Also check out the updated chapter on Graph Oriented Programming.  Now,
it reflects much better the ideas and vision that we have for the
project.  It now also includes references to 4 source files.  Less then
120 lines of code that clearly show the fundamental concept of jBPM.
Including logging and comments !  I really think that the ideas and
vision in that article give a view on how software development will be
like in a few years from now.  I'm excited about it !
http://jbpm.org/gop

I hope it's equally fun to use as it was to develop.  Enjoy it !

[Jbpm-users] JBoss jBPM 3.0.2 and GPD 3.0.5 released

[Koen A. <koe...@jb...>]

Hi all,=20

The announcement is a bit late, but we nevertheless wish to inform you
of the 3.0.2 release of jBPM last week. This release fixes several bugs
and minor issues for which we point you to the release notes. In
addition there is also a new release of the graphical process designer
plugin. This is the 3.0.5 release of this plugin. The biggest
enhancement for this release is the ability to show and edit the
transition names directly on the diagram.=20
You'll find all you need on the JBoss jBPM download pages
(http://www.jboss.com/products/jbpm/downloads
<http://www.jboss.com/products/jbpm/downloads>  ).=20

We have also decided to again include a starter's kit bundled with a
complete Eclipse installation with this release. We feel that it lowers
the barrier to get started with jBPM a lot. Firing up the jBPM server
and exploring the websale sample process is only one mouseclick away,
tweaking and changing the websale process yet another click. This
download is only available for Windows from
http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/jbpm/jbpm-starters-kit-with-eclipse-3
.0.2.zip?download
<http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/jbpm/jbpm-starters-kit-with-eclipse-
3.0.2.zip?download>  . Users of other OS's will have to stick to getting
a separate Eclipse download for their platform and installing the plugin
themselves. But for the Windows users there is no excuse for not
starting this download immediately.=20

Have fun,=20

[Jbpm-users] jBPM Core 3.1alpha1 and jBPM GPD 3.0.4 Released

[Koen A. <koe...@jb...>]

Hi all,=20

A short notice that as of yesterday we released the jBPM core 3.1alpha1
and jBPM GPD 3.0.4 releases. New feature highlights of the core jBPM are
asynchronous process continuation, improved flexibility of the
persistence API and task instance variables. The persistence API has
been changed maintaining backward compatibility with the 3.0 release.
Purpose of these changes was amongst others to use Hibernate more
directly whitout too much unnecessary wrapping. Some of the API methods
and classes have been deprecated and might be removed in versions after
3.1.=20
The 3.0.4 release of the GPD now fully supports swimlane configuration
through an additional swimlanes tab in the editor and the properties
configuration page of tasks. Another new feature in the GPD is grid
support to improve the looks of the process graphs.=20
The new releases are available on the sourceforge download area :
http://sourceforge.net/projects/jbpm
<http://sourceforge.net/projects/jbpm> =20
All feedback is welcome on these fine forums.=20

Have fun,=20

[Jbpm-users] new jbpm training, website and jboss world

[Tom B. <tom...@jb...>]

hi jbpm-users,
=20
I just finished the update of the jBPM training.  It took blood, sweat
and tears but the result makes it all worth while.  An improved steam
course training about jBPM of 2 days.  The training has 2 major targets:

1) Get productive with jBPM.  hands-on labs are included to practice the
technical details.
2) Background information on workflow, BPM and orchestration.  The what,
why and how.  This makes the training also interesting for architects
and technical managers.
For more information, take a look at
http://www.jboss.com/services/training/jbpm
=20
The brandnew website is also ready.  For a sneek preview, see :
http://www.jboss.com/products/jbpm  That will be the landing page of
jbpm.org=20
=20
Now that i have your attention, i would also like to mention JBossWorld
Barcelona, October 10-12.  The core jBPM team is going to be there and
the JBoss spotlights will be directed at our project.  It's going to be
great fun and i hope that you can make that time free to join us :

[Jbpm-users] 3.0.1 Release of the Graphical Process Designer

[Koen A. <koe...@jb...>]

Hi All,=20

I want to announce via these mailing list the 3.0.1 release of the
Graphical Process Designer. The eyecatchers of this release are the code
completion in the XML source tab (when the JPDL XSD if referenced) and
the addition of a 'Design' tab taken from the WTP XML editor where you
see the XML in tree format with the ability to add attributes and
children based on the XSD. The XSD reference is automatically added to
the processdefinition tag when creating a process definintion using the
wizards.=20
In addition to this, it is now possible to add and configure a single
task in the start-state node so that a link is generated in the webapp
when this process gets deployed (if this is desired of course).=20

Enjoy it,=20
Koen=20

[Jbpm-users] JBoss jBPM 3.0 final released

[Tom B. <tom...@jb...>]

hi jbpm-user,
=20
JBoss jBPM 3.0 final was released today.  This is definitely a real
milestone.
=20
JBoss jBPM now includes the following components: Runtime engine as a
POJO library, a graphical desiger as an eclipse plugin, persistence
based on hibernate, a web console in JSF, a BPEL extension for
orchestration, scheduler for timers, business calendar and much more.

We are very excited about the foundations for our engine: Graph Oriented
Programming.  This is what makes JBoss jBPM both simple and extremely
powerfull.  Currently all products and specifications (yes, there are
many) have a different model and that holds back adoption of workflow
and BPM technology.  We believe that Graph Oriented Programming is a
significant step towards lifting this barrier.

Learn all about the JBoss jBPM foundations in my upcoming JavaOne talk
"Workflow, BPM and Java Technology"
(http://www28.cplan.com/javaone05_93_1/session_details.jsp?isid=3D270364&=
i
location_id=3D93-1&ilanguage=3Denglish)

You can also read about Graph Oriented Programming
(http://docs.jboss.org/jbpm/v3/userguide/graphorientedprogramming.html)
at the JBoss jBPM online documentation
(http://jboss.com/products/jbpm/docs)

In the JBoss jBPM downloads (http://jboss.com/products/jbpm/downloads)
you can find the starters kit that includes everything to get started in
one easy download.

[Jbpm-users] beta 3, starters kit, java one and coctails

[Tom B. <tom...@jb...>]

hi jbpm-user,
=20
jBPM 3.0 beta 3 just got released.  Mainly bug fixes, but there are some
minor improvements as well.  The next two weeks, we'll focus on the
webapplication, stabilization and bug fixes.
=20
If you look very carefully, you'll notice the new member in the de
downloads : jbpm-starters-kit-3.0-beta3.zip  It is a package of jbpm
sources and binaries,  the jbpm database package, the jbpm server (a
preconfigured jboss server with jbpm preinstalled) and installation
instructions for the graphical designer in one simple download.  The
main reason for this mail is to inform you that the webapplication is
not yet complete.  You can already have a look and get an idea about
what it will be and how it looks.  But it will take another release to
get it fully working.  Hopefully i'll be able to manage a beta 4 within
a week.
=20
Gonig to JavaOne ?  Then be sure not to miss the JBoss coctail party on
monday 5pm to 9pm on top of the Mariott hotel (around the corner of the
moscone).  Come by, say hello and let's have a drink together.  I'll be
there and I'm interested in hearing about how you use jBPM in your
project.

[Jbpm-users] JBoss jBPM 3.0 development status update

[Tom B. <tom...@jb...>]

Hi jBPM user,
=20
Here's a quick update on the jBPM 3.0 development status.
=20
We are well on track and development is going steady.  Last week, jbpm
3.0 alpha 3 was released.  The main addition in that version was
documentation and an identity component for storing organisational
information.  The state of the implementation and the documentation of
jBPM 3.0 is certainly good enough to start having a look. =20
=20
The docs are also published on-line so you can already have a look :
http://jbpm.org/3/ <http://jbpm.org/3/>   Especially, the chapter about
"Graph Oriented Programming" is recommended.  It explains the
motivations and fundamentals of our project.=20
=20
The main limitations of jBPM 3.0 alpha 3 are lack of a scheduler and the
logs are not yet persisted.
=20
Also, you can expect another update of the graphical process designer.
It is taking on a great shape.  What i like about it the most is that
Koen really succeeded in supporting both the business analyst *and* the
developer.  While drawing the graph, the xml is generated.  But the
developer is not forced to point-and-click.  Developers easily can
switch back and forth between XML and graphical view.  Updates in the
XML are always reflected in the other views.  Another example of what we
mean with transparant, white box solutions.  No magic behind the scenes,
but giving control to the developers !
=20
Currently we're developing the scheduler for adding timers to process
definitions.  A very nice improvement over jBPM 2 in that respect is the
inclusion of a business calendar.  Normal working hours and holidays are
put in a configuration file.  Then the timers can be configured to fire
at e.g. in '2 business hours', or in '1 business day'.   When this is
ready, an alpha 4 will be released.  Hopefully somewhere end next week
(friday 15 or monday 18 april).  That release will also include a
persistence bug fix in task management.
=20
The final release of jBPM 3.0 for general availability is planned for
june 26. =20
=20
Around the same time I'll present an overview of "Workflow, BPM and
Java" combined with Graph Oriented Programming at JavaOne 2005 in San
Fransisco.  Don't miss it if you are there.  Looking forward to meeting
y'all there !
=20
Check out the jBPM issue tracker for the lates information about the
roadmap : http://jira.jboss.com/jira/browse/JBPM
=20
And last but not least, the jBPM BPEL extension is close to a first
release.  If you think about using BPEL, don't hesitate and try it out.
We'll let you know when you can take it for a ride.=20
=20

[Jbpm-users] JBoss jBPM 3.0 alpha 2 released

[Tom B. <tom...@jb...>]

Hi jBPM user,

Today we released JBoss jBPM 3.0 alpha 2. It gives already a quite
comprehensive overview of how jBPM 3.0 final will look like. This
release includes persistence and improved documentation.=20

The two areas where we are focussing on is documentation and database
compatibility. This release includes about 60 pages of userguide,
including getting started, tutorial, what is workflow and XML reference.


For improved database compatibility we created a separate package:
jbpm-3.0-alpha2-db.zip Currently only hypersonic and postgresql are
included, but the structure is set to add support for other databases
quite easily. We encourage the community to contribute validations of
jBPM against your database.=20

[Jbpm-users] JBoss jBPM 3.0 alpha 1 released

[Tom B. <tom...@jb...>]

Hi all,
=20
We are happy to announce that the first preview of jbpm 3 has been
released.  Though still in an early stage, we managed to create already
a basic set of documentation.  The most interesting piece of the
documentation is definitely the chapter about "Graph Oriented
Programming".  The ideas behind "Graph Oriented Programming" were the
motivation to start with jBPM 3.  Note that persistence is not yet
included so you can only take it for a test ride.

[Jbpm-users] jBPM training, website and wiki

[Tom B. <tom...@jb...>]

Hi jBPM users,
=20
First of all i want to let you know that we are getting ready for the
very first public JBoss jBPM training.  It is targetted for Java
developers and architects that wish to gain an understanding of workflow
and business process management concepts and how they are implemented in
the open source JBoss jBPM product.  The training is to be given in
London from January 25-26 and then again in Frankfurt from March 10-11.
To register or for more information please visit the JBoss website at
http://www.jboss.com/services/training/schedule
<http://www.jboss.com/services/training/schedule> .=20
=20
The next thing i want to let you know is that we are integrating the
content of the jBPM.org website into the jboss website.  Somewhere in
the next weeks, the link http://jbpm.org will point to the jBPM home
page inside the jboss.org website and the look and feel of the jBPM
pages will be updated.
=20
A jBPM Wiki is also under construction and it will become a major part
of the jBPM website.  The launch of the jBPM wiki will be done at the
same time as the website update.  We'll keep you informed when this
happens.   We are looking forward to all your contributions :-)

[Jbpm-users] Developers forum only authenticated

[Ronald v. K. <sf...@ro...>]

Hi all,

We are thinking of only allowing authenticated access to the developers forum. Registering at SF
is free, and in our opinion, People working *on* jbpm should not have a problem with this. People
working *with* jbpm should use the users forum and that will still be anonymous, although we'd
appreciate it much if we know who you are, so at least put your name under a message.

If anyone has objections to this, please let us know.

Ronald

[Jbpm-users] jBpm joins JBoss and becomes JBoss jBPM

[Tom B. <tom...@jb...>]

Hi,
=20
We are proud and pleased to announce that the jBpm project has joined
with JBoss to become a critical piece of the JBoss Enterprise Middleware
Platform. With the 2.0 version released today, jBPM will now become
JBoss jBPM 2.0.

Tom Baeyens has now joined JBoss Inc., the home of professional open
source.  As a full time employee, Tom will lead JBoss jBPM.
Professional Open Source also means enterprise support, so look forward
to complete enterprise offering from JBoss inc. =20
=20
With the resources and commercial reach of JBoss behind it, We are
excited that we have the opportunity to take JBoss jBPM to the next
stage of growth and provide a full range of services and support around
it. The JBoss Professional Open Source model enables us to cement its
position as the leading open source workflow management system.=20

[Jbpm-users] heading towards the final release of jbpm 2.0

[Tom B. <tom...@pa...>]

Hi jbpm-user,

We are heading towards the final release of jbpm 2.0.

Currently we are running full steam on documentation-and-bug-fix-mode.  So
any last comments, bug-reports, requests are higly appreciated.  Together
with the 2.0 release we will publish a detailed roadmap for the future
developments.

One of the items very high on our wish list for the next versions is full
patterns support.  We have been working on implementing *all* workflow
patterns (www.workflowpatterns.com) in jbpm.  Next week we'll start the
discussion with Prof Wil van der Aalst to verify and hopefully acknowledge
this work.  It would be a big milestone in workflow engine history :-)

Furthermore we can say that jBpm is getting more and more adoption in the
OEM market.  That means that more partners are collaborating with us to
include jbpm as the core engine in their own products.  Keep it up folks :-)

Thanks,
Tom Baeyens

[Jbpm-users] jbpm-1.0.1 released

[Tom B. <to...@jb...>]

Hi all jbpm-ers,

I released jbpm-1.0.1 which includes no functional improvements, only some
minor bug fixes...

https://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=70542&package_id=6980
3&release_id=229369


=============================================
== CHANGES between jbpm-1.0 and jbpm-1.0.1 ==
=============================================
 * added declaration of element key in webinterface.dtd
   That solved a bug that made it impossible to use the map-configurations
in a webinterface.dtd.
   For example when using the EnumRadioInput HtmlFormatter.

 * buxfix : fixed a bug in the web/personSearch.jsp. to be used with the
PersonInput HtmlFormatter.
   (NOTE: the person search is not supported by the core jBpm team.  the fix
was a user contribution)

 * removed exception masking when no database session could be opened.
   When a hibernate session could not be opened, the thrown exception was
masked
   with a NullPointerException because there was a session.close() in the
finally block.
   if ( session != null ) has been prepended in all those places.

 * bugfix : Made the forkhandler-delegation member of ForkImpl transient.
(otherwise a flow
   with a custom fork cannot be serialized)

 * bugfix : updated the query that searches for active concurrent flows.
This fixed a
   synchronization problem in the join that occured when nested concurrent
blocks have
   more then one concurrent flows.
