Using Database in the Java Service Task

[frank41]

Hi all !
I'm evaluating Activiti for a BPM based Web solution. I have the requirement to re-use some Java classes as nodes in my Workflow. Since these Java classes perform operation on the DB, I'd be interested to know if a Java Service Task could be able to use an application server's Connection Pool-or an EntityManager reference (and thus use JPA). In our case we are planning to deploy our application on JBoss AS 7
Thanks a lot
Frank!

Hi Frank,

Yes you can do that. You can use JNDI to get hold of these references or use for example the Activiti Spring module to inject those in the service task delegate class.

Best regards,

Thanks Tijs, I've managed to do it using your suggestion!
