● KieSession and TaskService
– uses jBPM Services and RuntimeManager
– “execute”
● Using REST or JMS
● Remote client using existing interfaces
Remote API

16. 16
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

Example: Dynamic
● Process evolution / migration
– WorkflowProcessInstanceUpgrader.upgradeProcessInstance(
ksession, processInstance.getId(), "ruleflow2", ...);
● Ad-Hoc (Sub-)Processes
– DynamicUtils.addDynamicWorkItem(processInstance,
ksession, "OtherTask", new HashMap<String, Object>());
● Updating one process instance
– insertNodeInBetween(process, 2, 3, node);
processInstance.updateProcess(process);
● Business Rules
● Towards Case Management
