deploying probe and other webapps along standalone engine

[lgazo]

Hi Activiti team,

I have a question regarding (for me) more complex deployment scenario. Let's suppose there is a web application with Activiti Engine instance packed within one WAR file.
What I want to achieve is to deploy Probe (and also Cycle, Explorer, …) along my application and to be able to inspect my engine running in the application. I noticed that within the demo installation these components are (they seem to me) like extracted separate applications.

So the questions are:
- Is it possible to achieve nowadays?
- What should I do? Are there any configuration steps needed?
- If I would have a second application (separate WAR) with independent engine, is it possible to use one Probe, Cycle, Explorer,… to manage both Engines or do I have to have separate instances?

Thanks for the response.

Yes

- What should I do? Are there any configuration steps needed?

The only thing you must do, is point the configuration of the webapps to the same database that your own webapp is using.
This means that you must change the activiti.cfg.jar of the activiti-rest webapp.

- If I would have a second application (separate WAR) with independent engine, is it possible to use one Probe, Cycle, Explorer,… to manage both Engines or do I have to have separate instances?

Yes, if you point them to the same database.
If your second application is using another database, you will need to have also a second deployment of explorer, Probe, etc.

Probe is no longer supported, but if you run the 5.0 alpha, you should be able to login with kermit kermit. In the new versions of activiti, probe-features are present in the explorer web app. So if you don't have an explicit need for 5.0-alpha, switch to more recent version..
