Hi,

I am using JBPM5.4 Final, currently we use our own implementation of User Interface (UI), and then used the ftl file of process and task just to point to the UI's URL.

so for example, if I have process with ID:
"test.mytestProcess"
then the file "test.mytestProcess-taskform.ftl" will contain just the URL of my custom built User Interface.

My question is, instead of using file like "test.mytestProcess-taskform.ftl" to store the URL of my User Interface, can I just define the URL as an input in the process? for example process's metadata
While this can be done for Human Task with InputVariables, So far I did not find any way to do this for process form.

Any thoughts?

Regards,
Thomas Setiabudi

It is possible, but most likely would mean addition of an jbpm specific extension attribute to bpmn2. We try not to add extensions unless absolutely required. I think you could make a pitch for it by opening a Jira for this to explain why you would like this.

point taken, thanks Tiho.


My main reason why I need this is just because Guvnor occasionally run into error. So I want to minimize my dependency to Guvnor.

Maybe changing or extending BPMN for this is not a really good idea.
