A common practice when developing a web application is having the server directly accessible in the IDE. This article explains how to do this using BOS bundles for a client-side application.
This tutorial uses the most recent version of IntelliJ IDEA. It has been tested with IDEA 11 and BOS 5.6.2.First, download the BOS-Tomcat bundle from the BOS download page (from the Bundles tab) and unzip it. Name this BOS_INSTALL.
Everything you’ll have to do next will be in IntelliJ. If you have already created a project, you can right click on your project and select Add framework support…
Alternatively, you can create a new project. On the framework support form, tick Application server, select New Tomcat Server and enter BOS_INSTALL in the Tomcat home field.
Then, in the settings of your project (F4), add the bonita-client-5.6.2.jar to the classpath and optionally add its documentation URL (http://www.bonitasoft.org/docs/javadoc/bpm_engine/5.6/)
Create a simple JSP file to test the installation:
[cc lang=“java”]
<%@ page contentType=“text/html;charset=UTF-8” language=“java” %>
<%@page import=“org.ow2.bonita.facade.QueryDefinitionAPI”%>
<%@ page import=“org.ow2.bonita.util.AccessorUtil” %>
<%@ page import=“org.ow2.bonita.light.LightProcessDefinition” %>
<%@ page import=“javax.security.auth.login.LoginContext” %>
<%@ page import=“org.ow2.bonita.util.SimpleCallbackHandler” %>
Deployed processes
- <%
LoginContext loginContext = new LoginContext("BonitaStore", new SimpleCallbackHandler("user", ""));
loginContext.login();
QueryDefinitionAPI queryDefinitionAPI = AccessorUtil.getQueryDefinitionAPI();
- "+lightProcessDefinition.getName()+" "); } loginContext.logout();
for (LightProcessDefinition lightProcessDefinition : queryDefinitionAPI.getLightProcesses()) {
out.println("
%>
[/cc]
And here is what you should get:
