Bonita based demonstration

Posted at Wed, 13 March 2008 14:36:00 GMT by christophe.hamerling@ebmwebsourcing.com

A new Petals demonstration is available: Petals Workflow 1.0.
This demonstration shows how Bonita SE and Petals Bonita Hooks work. The release contains two demos, based on a maintenance workflow, using Bonita.

The Stock Demo demonstrates calling a Petals service to process automatically the "Stock" workflow activity, using the PetalsAutomaticHook.
The Stock and Resupply Demo processes the "Resupply" manual activity outside of the Bonita web console and delegates this activity to the Petals network. The PetalsManualHook is used to call a FileTransfer service to export the workflow state in a XML file. The user edits this file. Then an other FileTransfer service reads the edited file and calls Bonita SE. Bonita SE interacts with Bonita to start and stop the "Resupply" activity and to update the workflow properties with the data provided by the user.

Look at the demonstration page to download the required packages.

JBI 1.0 Certified

Posted at Wed, 12 March 2008 09:36:00 GMT by christophe.hamerling@ebmwebsourcing.com

This petals-kernel-2.1.1 based distribution has successfully passed the JBI compatibility test suite (JBI TCK).
In other words it means that PEtALS is 100% JBI compatible.

Thanks to all developers and contributors !

Bonita Service Engine 1.0

Posted at Fri, 10 March 2008 10:01:00 GMT by christophe.hamerling@ebmwebsourcing.com

The first version of Bonita Service Engine has just been released.
The Bonita Service Engine allows you to interact with the Bonita v3 workflow engine. From PEtALS you can instanciate workflows, list the workflow models present in Bonita, list the activities of a user, read the state of running workflows, modify the properties of the workflows, start and stop activities.
You can also use Bonita Service Engine for building a custom GUI replacing the Bonita console.

Note that complementary to the Bonita Service Engine, it is possible to let Bonita call PEtALS services (and therefore provide distributed orchestration) using the RMI BC and petals-specific "hooks" for Bonita that are provided with the petals-workflow demo (RMI BC and workflow demo both to be released next week). The component documentation and the petals-workflow demo will help you to use Bonita SE.

Download links are available on the components page.

Petals is an open source ESB that fully implements the Java Business Integration specification (JSR 208). It is completely distributed, and each Petals' node self-configures at start-up to join the global Petals network without any configuration.

Petals provides a set of JBI components that enables Enterprise Business Integration solutions. Petals offers basic monitoring tools to supervise the whole servers network. Extra-tools are provided to help you to develop your own JBI components according to the JBI specification.

Please read the documentation on the Petals web site to learn more about Petals, ESB and JBI principles. A demonstrator is also available to show how Petals helps you to integrate your existing applications.

You can download the binary and source distribution at http://petals.ow2.org in the 'download' section.

Enjoy!

Known Bugs

  • JNDI distributed directory bug : Only containers started on the same computer can work together. When two containers with the same configuration are started on different container, they configure themself in the right way but during the installation of component, the JNDI directory is not updated in the other containers.
