A groovy reminder about the use of Groovy in Bonita

In the Bonita documentation, you'll find a How-to article to help you with the use of Groovy, the scripting language used in Bonita in addition to Java.

Groovy was chosen as the scripting language because it is:

• Concise, readable and has an expressive syntax, so it's easy to learn for Java developers
• Seamlessly and transparently integrates and interoperates with Java and third-party libraries

Our How-to will tell you everything about the way to use Groovy scripts in Bonita and ease your Java developer life.

It also details use case examples such as:

• Instantiate a business data
• list business objects using DAO
• update a business data
• search for task instances
• get CustomerUserInfo value for a user

If you are beginning with Groovy, I know the temptation would be high to use Java code along with Groovy... but if you do, you'll loose the real benefit of Groovy: to develop faster !

So it's worth some time to read this useful How-to and start using Groovy in Bonita.
