goekan-t — Tue, 21 Dec 2010 08:12:16 GMT

Is it possible to generate a diagram from an existing bpmn20.xml ?I would like to develop the process in the xml-source but the diagram will help me talking to the process owners.

Unfortunately, at the moment you can't. We are planning to add this in an upcoming release, using the BPMN DI standard. Issues you can track are here:

The import of BPMN DI diagrams has been added to the next release. Direct updates from the BPMN to the diagram and back have not been added yet, as you can see from the status of the issues I mentioned.

Has this been implemented yet? When editing in eclipse the diagram doesn't update when making changes to the xml file. This really makes it difficult to create the workflows..

Hi Brian,

Activiti currently supports 2 diagram generators

java - server side - (e.g. http://forums.activiti.org/content/process-diagram-highlighting-current-process)
javascript (Used in explorer) ProcessDiagramGenerator.js

Example of usage can be found in activiti sources.
Regards
Martin

There is a diagram-viewer that generates a pretty good view of the process embedded in the Activiti-Explorer.
This is actually based on the following github project (https://github.com/dmitryfar/diagram-viewer).

While it is embedded in Activiti-Explorer, it is super easy to extract and include into any war.
Be aware, it uses Ext.js which may be considered a license issue.

Cheers,
Greg
