Need A small end to end example of implementation on Activiti

[logicallimit]

Hello Guys!

I am completely new to Activiti.

Can anyone here guide me to a simple example of two step process that involves complete end to end implementation involving process modeling using latest eclipse plugin and activiti framework 5.19. And later it's deployment into activiti explorer, running the process and using forms to execute the tasks.

I tried to search a lot on google but could not find a single example for a novice user.

Can somebody please guide me to right place? or if someone has such an example with code and would like to share here.

Thanks

From where can I learn all the terminologies used in eclipse designer tool like data objects, pool, lane, transaction, event sub process,  events and so many of these.

Is there any tutorial describing all these terminologies specifically from the point of view of eclipse designer plugin. and when and how to use them while designing any process? What will be the effect if I use pool or do not use it.

Hi,

Did you read "activiti in action" book (little bit old, but you can start with it.)
e.g. http://www.codeproject.com/Tips/699392/Step-by-Step-your-First-journey-with-Activiti

Thanks for giving this information Martin!
I have downloaded that book from Manning and have started reading it. And in fact I have gone through that link but unfortunately the link "http://www.bpmnwithactiviti.org/book_sourcecode.html" to download code of the POC in that page is not working . It was definitely useful but very basic.

I wanted to understand about various palette items and their right usage in eclipse for designing the process after we install activiti plugin.
Something like Bonitasoft website (http://documentation.bonitasoft.com/product-bos-sp/process-modeling), they have explained these terminologies and have give a very good example of getting started (http://documentation.bonitasoft.com/getting-started-tutorial-2).

Hey!

Thanks a lot for sharing that book title. I searched and got a pdf for same. Published in 2014.
Just went through a few pages and seems to be written in simple language and to the point information from beginners perspective. It might be what I was exactly looking for!
