I've really got no clue what you mean with that.

Do you want to use the form properties in your xml in your own app? If so, check how we do it in the Explorer sample app.

No no…i would export a form mask in a external JSP page!

When i write my xml and i make an import in activiti, him renderer a form in respect with my activiti:field..

So, can i capture this form, through API, and represent it in my jsp web page!?

I would simply reproduce a form of Activiti….

Thanks in advance…and i'm sorry for my previous explanation…i talk english just a little bit.

Yes. People have integrated it with jsf, flex and we did it with Vaadin.

You can get all the information you need in your jsp through the FormService API.

can you post a brief example!?

…in my Jsp Page i've write this…

ProcessEngine processEngine = h2.connection(); //everybody ok!
// in order to start my db connection..

FormService formService = processEngine.getFormService();
// instance a formservice..that contains some methods that returns Object (getStartFormData etc etc..)

Where it's contained the form, or better, the GUI Form, and how render it?!

It seems you need to learn first a bit about Activiti's form: check out http://activiti.org/userguide/index.html#forms

Or check the Explorer source code, and see how the form properties are used there.

And using plain jsp is very, very ancient, antique, old etc… Maybe a more modern ui framework might help to.
