History Query

[hamepal]

Hi all,
  I am trying  to understand the implementation of History query and its related functionality. Can someone give me pointer, from where to start looking Activiti source code?
  I am mainly interested in extending the activiti code to get the various statistics of workflow i.e, what all process variables were updated, what new variables are introduced, projection of any particular process execution time, current status of process execution etc.

any kind of help is greatly appreciated

All the historic queries are bundled in a history.mapping.xml (I think) file in the source code.

Thanks for the reply.

Currently I have imported the Activiti project by following the instrucgtion given at this link http://docs.codehaus.org/display/ACT/Developers+Guide#DevelopersGuide- But now I want to build the project using eclipse. Please let me know how to do it.

Thanks in advance…

after checking out from svn, you can directly import it in Eclipse if you have installed the m2Eclipse plugin. Select 'import as maven project' from the project import wizard.

  Thanks for the information. I have ported the activiti project in my eclipse and even I built it. Now I got stuck, don't have any idea how to deploy it and check whether my compiled version is working or not?
  I followed this link http://docs.codehaus.org/display/ACT/Developers+Guide#DevelopersGuide- but this link doesn't say anything about deployment?

Please share any pointer which gives idea about deployment.

Thanks in advance..

When you do an 'ant clean distro', you will get exactly the same zip file as is offered on the activiti.org website.
From there, you should be able to run the demo setup, and find the jars you can use to test your changes.
