Editing Activiti (section)

==Using Activiti==
 C:\Uwes\java\activiti\5.0\setup\ant (default target is '''demo.start''') starts h2-DB on port 9092 and tomcat on port 8099. 
Other targets are '''tomcat.start''', '''tomcat.stop''', '''h2.start''', '''h2.stop''', '''db.drop''', '''db.create'''.

===Modeler===
* files are saved in C:\Uwes\java\Activiti\activiti-5.6\workspace\activiti-modeler-examples\


===Designer===

====Activities====

=====Script Tasks=====
All process variables are accessible by name in the script.

=====Service Tasks=====

 public class CreateApplicationTask 
   implements org.activiti.engine.delegate.JavaDelegate
 { 
   @Override
   public void execute(DelegateExecution arg0) throws Exception
   {
     // has to implement Serializable
     Application app = new Application();
     // get process variable
     Boolean b = (Boolean) execution.getVariable("name"));
     // store process variable
     execution.setVariable("name", app);
   }
 }

====Create JUnit Test====
* right click diagram -> Activiti -> Create JUnit Test
* process parameter can be defined by 
 Map<String, Object> vars = new HasMap<String, Object>();
 vars.put("name", value);
 runtimeService.startProcessInstanceByKey("diagram", vars);

===Deployment===
The so-called Business Archive (BAR) files are ZIP compressed files that contain processes and their dependencies, like forms, that can be deployed on the Activiti Engine. Deployment of a BAR file via:
* Probe. Probe provides functionality to deploy new BAR files and to delete previous deployments.
* Ant using the REST API.
