Manipulating BPMNs programmatically prior to deployment

ronif — Tue, 16 Jul 2013 16:29:13 GMT

Hi,I have a bytestream of BPMN and i'm looking to add an activiti listener on the end event just prior to deployment.Is there any API of activiti I can use to add such listener to the process? Perhaps one that parses the BPMN to a POJO I can then traverse and manipulate by adding elements just befor

Figured it out:

public class ProcessWithEndEventParseListener extends ProcessParseHandler {
@Override
protected void executeParse(BpmnParse bpmnParse, org.activiti.bpmn.model.Process process) {
ActivitiListener endEventListener = new ActivitiListener();
endEventListener.setEvent(ExecutionListener.EVENTNAME_END);
endEventListener.setImplementation(MyEndEventExecutionListener.class.getName());
endEventListener.setImplementationType(ImplementationType.IMPLEMENTATION_TYPE_CLASS);
process.setExecutionListeners(Lists.newArrayList(endEventListener));
}
}

worked like a charm

That's indeed the way we recommend doing such things to process definitions prior to deploying it for usage by the engine.

How is ProcessWithEndEventParseListener attached? Do you set a CustomDefault or some other means?

<java>
SpringProcessEngineConfiguration configuration = new SpringProcessEngineConfiguration();
configuration.getCustomDefaultBpmnParseHandlers().add(new ProcessWithEndEventParseListener());
</java>

getPostBpmnParseHandlers() would be the default method to use for this use case.
