How to run the activiti source code?

[balaji1]

Hi,

1. We have checked out the source code from SVN and installed in SVN.
Can you please tell us how to build this source code?

ALso what will be the outcome of this process?

2. We have proposed to use activiti plugin for our porject. We need to customise the palette shapes and XML tags. Can you please tell us the process to perform.


Please help us to resolve to above issues. We are badly stuck up here.

Disable the BPMN marshaller in the Eclipse preferences. Enable your own marshaller. Place a breakpoint and press save in the diagram. You should end up in your breakpoint.

Hi,

Can you please tell us the way to perform the above change

Till the enabling of my own marshaller?

[tiesebarrell]

You should open the Eclipse preferences, go to the Activiti > Save page and uncheck the BPMN marshaller. Then check the checkbox for your own marshaller at the bottom of the preference page. If your marshaller is not there, you haven't created the extension correctly.

HI,

I made the following change in the acmeMarshaller export class

1. saveResource(getRelativeURIForDiagram(diagram, "abc.xml"), bais, this.monitor);

2. I have checked "Automatically save to Acme Format 1.15" in windows-> preference in eclipse
and unchecked "Automatically save to Activiti Designer Image".

3. Have set the breakpoint in the following function
  private void marshallBPMNDiagram()

But we still find the control has not yet transferred to Acme marshaller class. Please help us

Thanks

Balaji,

you should uncheck the BPMN marshaller, not the image marshaller, but never mind. If you're running against 0.5.0 of Designer, you might not have that option, I believe I only added it in 0.6.0 (currently in SVN). In either case, you'll want to place a breakpoint in the *public* method that gets invoked in the marshaller, not the private one. I noticed in your code that you have your toggle the wrong way around:

if (!validDiagram) {

addProblemToDiagram(diagram, "Could not find the Acme element we require", null);

} else {
//perform marshalling
performMarshalling = false;
}

You should set performMarshalling to true if you want to marshall    Notice the condition is !validDiagram, so a negation. Which means in the else clause, you should proceed with marshalling.

HI,

I changed that flag variable to true.
But still my objective is not achieved .

I am trying to create a xml called abc.xml with my own tag names.

Thanks

Do you reach the marshaller's marshallDiagram method?

[balaji1]

Hi,

No, The control is not coming to Acme marshall class itself.

THanks

[tiesebarrell]

Are you right clicking or pressing save?

[balaji1]

Hi,

I did both seperately

But no change.

ALso,
What makes the difference between these two statements?
Both are in the acme marshall class.

1. private static final String FILENAME_PATTERN = ExportMarshaller.PLACEHOLDER_ORIGINAL_FILENAME + ".bpmn20_new.xml";

2. saveResource(getRelativeURIForDiagram(diagram, "abc.xml"), bais, this.monitor);

Thanks
