BPMN 2.0 Execution in Eclipse

[mcervera]

Hello,

I've found that an EMF-based BPMN 2.0 metamodel has already been implemented in Eclipse:

http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/scn/weblogs?blog=/pub/wlg/20177%3Futm_source%3Dfeedburner%26utm_medium%3D...

I am interested in integrating the Activiti engine in my Eclipse RCP Application and enabling the execution of BPMN 2.0 models created using an Eclipse editor rather than the Activiti modeler. I was wondering if the Activiti team has considered the posibility of supporting the execution of EMF-based BPMN 2.0 models. If not, can anyone give me any hint on how I will have to proceed to achieve my goal?

Thanks in advance

Mario

Hi Mario,

as Reiner's metamodel implementation supports the official BPMN 2.0 XML Schema, it should be no problem to generate XML out of an EMF-based BPMN 2.0 model and throw that into Activiti's XML parser.

Hope that helps,
Falko

Hi Guys,

What version of BPMN 2.0 XML Schema is supported by Activity? Is it the latest beta2?

[farrukh_najmi]

After RTFM I think the answer is that latest beta2 based upon the following page:

http://www.activiti.org/userguide/index.html#bpmnFirstExampleXml

"Note at the xml namespace that we are using the latest beta version of the BPMN 2.0 specification, released on May 2010. "

Yup. That latest beta has become the final release now, by the way.

In the next release, we are going to remove beta compatibility and only allow for 'final' BPMN 2.0

Hi Joram,

Is Activiti 5.0.beta2 support the 'final' BPMN 2.0?

Where can I download the final BPMN 2.0 spec? Is the BPMN v2.0 Beta 2 document at http://www.omg.org/bpmn/ considered final?

Yes, that is the final version.

Currently, the spec is being ratified and on the website this will become 'final' pretty soon (as Falko told us, and he is really in-depth with the BPMN spec committee)

Noted. Thanks.
