Activiti webapp explorer

[ambikakhatri]

Hi,

I downloaded activiti 5.19 source code. I see there is a module named activiti-webapp-explorer2. I want to borrow UI code from that or change some UI code and integrate authentication service to it. Can I make these changes to this module and use it in production for us?

Thanks in advance

Sure. We don't support it, but you can do whatever you want with the code, it's open source.

Hello,
I'm about to use activiti for my final project study. I have a problem whencreating a new user, because every time I create a new user it's not recognized when restarting tomcat . Help me please

Are you creating user in database through sql query or activiti explorer webapp creates it for you? If you checkout engine.properties file, there is a property for creating demo users "create.demo.users". This property is by default set to true hence it creates/updates users every time you deploy this application.

Katy,
Activiti uses in memory H2 database out of the box. So every time you restart the tomcat, your changes will be lost.
You will have to configure a different database in order to avoid this. You can do it easily by changing the db.properties to point to a db of your choice(Oracle, Postgres, Mysql, DB2 ).
But when you do this, you will also have to create the schema for activiti to use in your new database. For this, run the scripts which come along with the activiti download which are available under database/create.
