HiWhat would be your recommendation to group processes into groups covering functional areas i.e. HR, CRM, CMS etc, etcI would like to have these in there own functional area name space's and don't want to prefix the id's (if possible) as follows<process id="HR.process1"> …</process>‍‍

Hi Steve,

The category attribute of a process definition seems to be a good fit for that. The category attribute is filled with the targetNamespace of the process definition. Then you can query on process definitions in the same category.

Best regards,

Hello,

coming back to this old question. I've got Activiti 5.17.0 and try to set the category attribute to a procdef. I can do it in java or I can do it via the modeler and DB is updated appropriately. When I export the XML, the category is written in targetNamespace. So it seems OK to me. But when I set the category in target namespace in xml and then import it, it doesn't get set in the DB. Is that a bug or is there something I don't understand ?

Here's an extract of the xml file where I set the namespace as "TRS" :
<blockcode>
<definitions xmlns="http://www.omg.org/spec/BPMN/20100524/MODEL" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema" xmlns:activiti="http://activiti.org/bpmn" xmlns:bpmndi="http://www.omg.org/spec/BPMN/20100524/DI" xmlnsmgdc="http://www.omg.org/spec/DD/20100524/DC" xmlnsmgdi="http://www.omg.org/spec/DD/20100524/DI" typeLanguage="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema" expressionLanguage="http://www.w3.org/1999/XPath" targetNamespace="TRS">
</blockcode>
Thx in advance
