Generating acitiviti workflow from Java Code

[hellowrakesh123]

Hi,
I am looking for a solution where in i can generic an acitviti workflow (bpmn.xml) using Java Code. This is required primarily as the workflow can be defined in our application based on the inputs provided by the user. Is there anything already available.?
Thank you.!

Take a look at Joram's Kickstart code here: https://github.com/jbarrez/Activiti-KickStart, this contains some bpmn20.xml generation, a good point to start from.

Thank you and i looked through the examples. The KickstartServiceTasks only have a way to specify parallel tasks at 1st level, how do i create something like below-

Take the JAXB-model from kickstart and adapt it so it can output bpmn2.0.xml, based on what you want. However, you're not limited to JAXB, you can use any kind of xml-library. BPMN is just XML and as you know there are tons op options for spitting out XML rom java.

Thanks…i am already proceeding in this direction and planning build on top of it…wanted to check if there is something i missed and it already exists.

Nope, you didn't miss anything. Kickstart (currently) does no more than the behavior you described.
