- 2. Agenda ● Intro to jBPM ● jBPM5 Developer Guide ○ Chapters 1-7 ● Evolution ○ Rules - Chapter 9 ○ Events - Chapter 10 ○ Contexts - Chapter 11 ● Future - jBPM/Drools 6 ○ jBPM Console NG ○ CDI
- 4. jBPM ● (Flexible) Business Process Engine ● BPM System ● Tooling ● Community
- 5. jBPM5 Developer Guide Chapter 1 - Theoretical Background ● What is a Business Process? ● What is BPM? ○ Stages
- 6. Business Process ● Describes Systems and Humans Interactions ● Formalize how the work is being done ● Allows us to recognize potential problems ● and they look like...
- 9. jBPM5 Developer Guide Chapter 2 - BPM Systems (Structure) ● Allows us to execute and automate our Business Processes ● Business Processes will guide the company activities ● There are so many advantages...
- 10. jBPM5 Developer Guide Chapter 2 - BPM Systems (Structure) ● Advantages ○ Performance Metrics ○ Recognize and deal with business exceptions ○ Business Agility ○ Improve your decision making data streams ○ Get an instant snapshot about the company work load ○ Quickly adapt your business processes to reflect changes in your business
- 12. jBPM5 Developer Guide Chapter 3 - BPMN 2.0 ● Standard Specification (de-facto standard) ● Defines the Notation ● Defines the Execution Semantic ● Allows interoperability between BPMS'
- 13. jBPM5 Developer Guide Chapter 4 - Knowing Your Toolbox ● Infrastructure: ○ Guvnor ● Design: ○ Eclipse Plugin (deprecated) ○ Web Process Editor ("official") ○ Eclipse BPMN2.0 Editor ● Runtime: ○ jBPM5 GWT Process Server ○ jBPM5 GWT Console
- 14. jBPM5 Developer Guide Chapter 5 - Modeling Tools ● Web Process Designer: ○ Integrated with Guvnor BRMS ○ Standard BPMN2.0 + jBPM5 extensions ○ Process Definition Validation ○ Domain Specific Tasks ○ Integration with Service Repository
- 15. jBPM5 Developer Guide Chapter 6 - Domain Specific Processes ● Attach Domain Specific Constructs to your BPs ● Create connectors to interact with your existing (legacy) systems ● Clear separation between definition and implementation. ● Different implementations for different environments
- 16. jBPM5 Developer Guide Chapter 7 - Human Interactions ● Optimize your working force ● Gather right the information for the right people ● Optimize how the tasks are being performed ● Obtain a realistic metric about how the work is being done inside your organization
- 17. Tasks List
- 18. Task Form
- 19. Task Form
- 20. jBPM5 Developer Guide Chapter 8 - Persistence & Transactions ● Dealing with Long Running Processes and System Integrations requires a deep understand about these topics ● Drools and jBPM share the same mechanisms for Persistence and Transactions
- 21. Drools & jBPM
- 22. Persistence ● Based on JPA ● Every time that a process reach a safe point it is persisted until an external interaction is completed ● All the data associated with the process is stored as well
- 23. Transactions ● Based on JTA ● Most of the time business processes are about System Integrations ○ If our processes are interacting with transactional resources a 2 phase commit strategy can be used to guarantee coherence inside the same transaction
- 24. jBPM Evolution Chapter 9 - Smart Processes using Rules ● The Drools Rule Engine ● How our processes can benefit from the power of a Rule Engine? ● What kind of things we will be able to do? ● What's the difference between jBPM5 and jBPM3/jBPM4 and other BPMS? ● Simplify our business processes to express more accurately how the business works
- 25. jBPM Evolution Chapter 10 - Reactive Processes using Drools Fusion ● Temporal Reasoning ● We will be able to co-relate and identify time sensitive situations ● A whole new world of possibilities
- 26. jBPM Evolution Chapter 11 - Architectural & Integration Tips ● The integration with the Rule Engine give us a richer context to work on ● The stateful nature of this context will allows us to build smarter applications that keeps track of multiple business process execution ● Different architectures can be built using these concepts
- 27. Future - Drools/jBPM 6 ● Tooling ○ UberFire (GWT+ERRAI) Workbench ■ http://droolsjbpm.github.com/uberfire/ ○ jBPM Console NG ○ Guvnor NG ● CDI (JSR-299) integration
- 28. Release Process + Rules
- 29. Demo
- 30. Demo - Rules Monitor with Rules
- 31. Demo - Rules We cannot have two Release Processes Using the same Release Path and release files at the same time
- 32. Demo - Rules Create Ad-Hoc Task if Trigger Test takes too much time
