formKey for startEvent

jchildress — Fri, 25 Feb 2011 15:50:38 GMT

I'm trying to add a formKey to a startEvent. I can't add it through the "gui" diagram… but I can obviously add it in the text. The only problem is when I re-open or save the file then the formKey attribute is removed. I've attached a screen shot off my process file.This should work?thanks,John

I also don't have the "deployment" view….

I'm using Eclipse Helios Service Release 2. I have installed a clean version with out any plugins….

I selected the "Eclipse IDE for Java Developers".

Hi John,

Support for a formKey on a start event is added in the March 1st release.
When you add the formKey in the XML, the Activiti Designer tries to merge it into the diagram, but because the formKey was not supported it's removed again.

You are right that there's no deployment view. In the coming days I will give the userguide the necessary update.
When you right-click on an Activiti project you see an create deployment artifacts option at the bottom of the popup menu.
This creates a BAR file containing the BPMN 2.0 XML and the task forms and optionally a JAR file containing the Java classes.

Best regards,

Perfect… thank you. I mainly wanted to make sure I wasn't crazy.
