Hello,

You have to use the JAVA API to do that. 

In the maven, just add 

<dependencies>
    <dependency>
        <groupId>org.bonitasoft.engine</groupId>
        <artifactId>bonita-client</artifactId>
        <version>7.10.4</version>
    </dependency>       
 

then here a simple Java example

package org.bonitasoft.training;


import java.util.HashMap;
import java.util.List;
import java.util.Map;
import java.util.logging.Level;
import java.util.logging.Logger;

import org.bonitasoft.engine.api.ApiAccessType;
import org.bonitasoft.engine.api.IdentityAPI;
import org.bonitasoft.engine.api.LoginAPI;
import org.bonitasoft.engine.api.TenantAPIAccessor;
import org.bonitasoft.engine.identity.RoleSearchDescriptor;
import org.bonitasoft.engine.identity.User;
import org.bonitasoft.engine.identity.UserCriterion;
import org.bonitasoft.engine.identity.UserSearchDescriptor;
import org.bonitasoft.engine.search.SearchOptionsBuilder;
import org.bonitasoft.engine.search.SearchResult;
import org.bonitasoft.engine.session.APISession;
import org.bonitasoft.engine.util.APITypeManager;

public class TestUserList {

    public static void main(final String args[]) {
        final Logger logger = Logger.getLogger("TestUserList");
        try {

            final Map<String, String> map = new HashMap<String, String>();
            map.put("server.url", "http://localhost:8080");
            map.put("application.name", "bonita");
            APITypeManager.setAPITypeAndParams(ApiAccessType.HTTP, map);

            // Set the username and password
            final String username = "William.Jobs";
            final String password = "bpm";
            // get the LoginAPI using the TenantAPIAccessor
            final LoginAPI loginAPI = TenantAPIAccessor.getLoginAPI();
            // log in to the tenant to create a session
            final APISession session = loginAPI.login(username, password);
            // get the identityAPI bound to the session created previously.
            final IdentityAPI identity = TenantAPIAccessor.getIdentityAPI(session);

            // get the list of users
            final List<User> user = identity.getUsers(0, 30, UserCriterion.FIRST_NAME_ASC);

            // display the list of userNames 

            for (int i = 0; i < user.size(); i++) {
                System.out.println(user.get(i).getUserName());
            }
            
            

            loginAPI.logout(session);
        } catch (final Exception e) {
            logger.log(Level.SEVERE, "ERROR RETRIEVING USERS", e);
        }
    }
}

Hope this help,

Hello,

I don't get it.

I understood that you want to access Bonita via JAVA.

To execute the process, you have

* to install a Bonita Server, then you have to deal with organization to be able to connect. Then, you can use this piece of Java to connect your server.

* you don't want to install a Bonita Server. Then, you want to include the Bonita Server in YOUR application. It's more complex, but doable. Then, your application must include all components used by the BonitaServer (Spring, Hibernate....) and you have to deal with all the artifact by your application (deploy a process...)

That what we call the "embed engine" : visit https://documentation.bonitasoft.com/bonita/7.11/embed-engine

Hope this help,
