Hi
Kumar
I were watching the "World Cup" in night, too tired,
, I just see your question. :shock:
Before answering your ask, I have to say, I'm not a developer from Activiti Team, so I don't know my answer is exactly right or not, you can consider my answer only as a reference (I see JBarrez has replied for u). Haha.
From my opinion, there are 4 independent components in activiti suite by now, they are:
1. activiti-engine. It's a core component, it is a 'jar' package; you must deploy it into your AppServer's lib folder (ie. Tomcat's Lib)
2. activiti-probe. It's used for admin-console, it is a 'war' package; it is being enhanced by activiti team.
3. activiti-explore. It's used for user-console, it is also a 'war' package; being enhanced by activiti team at same time.
4. signavio-modeler. It's used for modeling-tool in browser, it is contributed by Signavio team.
…. future, there will be activit-cycle, a collaborative tool.
So I don't know why you need to make your own web-app application, what is its functionality?
I guess, you want customize or extend the functionality for end-user? If so, there are two approaches, I think,
1. Modify the activiti-explore project for your customization requirements (This project is built by Spring-Surf Framework mainly, maybe)
2. Re-build a totally new web-app project by any technology you like and familiar with (Just like Jbarrez's anwser in another post). But you need to know the DB-Schema Structure of Activiti and can read the information you desired from this db and render these information correctly for your own requirements (Start process, claim/complete process etc..)
If you only want customizing some new 'Business-Process' definition files(and/or forms) and see your achievement in activiti-explorer by browser, there are also two approaches, I think.
1. By an ant command. The target may utilize or simulate the example's build.xml.
[size=150]
2. By write a Java Class and run this java class to deploy your new business-process definition files (You can study this: 'org.activiti.impl.ant.DeployBarTask').
I recommend first one: utilize the build target in example's build.xml to deploy your own Bar File.
That's all. Write so much, I don't know if it is satisfied your requirement.
So the conclusion is: you DON'T need build a web-app to create/deploy a process; you need only use one of two method above to deploy your own process (a bpmn20.xml file in the Bar)
