Hi
We are using Activiti Engine in Servicemix/Fuse OSGi container to deploy and run BPMN Processes in the OSGi container. We are using activiti-osgi, activiti-spring, activiti-engine together (with other dependent bundles) to run the Activiti engine in the OSGi continer. So far things are working well for us. Since we want a quick CLI management interface to the bpmn process deployments, definitions and instances in the Activiti engine , we have added few Karaf commands (shell interface).
If there is enough interest, I would like to contribute this activiti karaf commands code to the community. Let me know if anyone looking for this type of interface to Activiti Engine in OSGi container.
Regards,
-Srinivasan
