Activiti JSF (primefaces)

[czar]

Hi,
has anyone implemented activiti (explorer like) in JSF, hopefully primefaces? I have read that Ronald was doing something in this space and was going to release something but have not been able to find any more reference or links.

Thanks in advance 🙂

Since there is an activiti cdi module, there is not much to 'release'. The forms component I was looking into would have to many limitations and not be flexible enough, so I quit working on that almost a year ago

Using activiti with cdi and primefaces works great. Only some custom small beans needed for eg for paging in task lists etc that are imo not worth 'releasing'

Hi czar.

Actually in camunda fox (http://www.camunda.com/fox/, the enterprise BPM platform based on Activiti) we have our tooling based on JSF with primefaces (e.g. a monitoring component cockpit: http://www.camunda.com/fox/enterprise/components/camunda-fox-cockpit/) and we currently develop a generic task list on it. Basically we really do that currently, it is in the sprint ending next week 🙂 This component will be in JSF with primefaces, yes.

And we have a couple of demo applications for the fox platform here: https://svn.camunda.com/fox/demo/fox/. Maybe that helps to get you started as well, some of them have a tasklist in JSF as well.

Side remark: From the engine point of view camunda fox is still Activiti. we just re-branded it to the fox engine (see https://bitbucket.org/camunda) and have our own release cycle for it.

Cheers
Bernd
