Forms in Activiti

ivan_hajdinjak — Wed, 06 Apr 2011 11:57:33 GMT

Greetings,i'm interested in writing my own forms in Activiti. I've made integration with Eclipse and i'm stuck there. Can anyone give me link or some tutorial how to write forms ? In Activiti Designer it cannot be done, just designer is enabled. Drawing forms is not implemented as far as I know.True

The latest version of the designer allows you to specify formProperties. Based on these, you can draw a form in your own technology. I suggest you reading http://activiti.org/userguide/index.html#formProperties and http://activiti.org/userguide/index.html#externalFormRendering.

These form-properties will be rendered in explorer very soon, out of the box (within 2 months)

Check the examples that are shipped with Activiti explorer, there are a few which use the form properties.

I Have read any examples..but i didn't found anything about my problem…

My Question is: Can I add any logo or jpeg image in my form!?

Yes, the forms currently are only allowing to add primitives (and users) types.

If you want to change the images or add some logo, you'll need to change the code of the Explorer app.

Can you provide me any example to do that?!

I simply would add a png logo before the extension element of my form.

Can i do that?

The sourcecode of the explorer is open. It uses vaadin, so it should not be to difficult to find that out yourself.
