Deploy custom workflow developed in jbpm into alfresco

I am using alfresco 3.0 .. I followed the link below to install jbpm and start creating jbpm workflow ..

http://wiki.alfresco.com/wiki/WorkflowAdministration

In the link It says there are 2 ways of deploying .. first one through designer deploy tab and the other is manually..

I could make it work trough deploy tab.

can anyone tell how can deploy manually .. as the info in the link is insufficient..

I want to know how does it work.. like where i need to place the deployer bean .. ect

Thanks

The first way about I know is to write bean in context file (it will be deployed while alfresco starts)- can looks like that (in \tomcat\shared\classes\alfresco\extension)

    <?xml version='1.0' encoding='UTF-8'?>
    <!DOCTYPE beans PUBLIC '-//SPRING//DTD BEAN//EN' 'http://www.springframework.org/dtd/spring-beans.dtd'>

    <beans>                                              
       <!-- custom Workflow bean -->
       <bean id="WorkflowID" parent="workflowDeployer">
          <property name="workflowDefinitions">
             <list>
                <props>
                   <prop key="engineId">activiti</prop>
                   <prop key="location">alfresco/extension/nameOfTheFile.bpmn</prop>
                   <prop key="mimetype">text/xml</prop>
                   <prop key="redeploy">true</prop>
                </props>
             </list>
          </property>
       </bean>

<!-- custom model BEAN -->
       <bean id="SomeID2.dictionaryBootstrap" parent="dictionaryModelBootstrap" depends-on="dictionaryBootstrap">
            <property name="models">
                <list>
                    <value>alfresco/extension/Somename-model.xml</value>
                </list> 
            </property>
       </bean>    

    </beans>

And the second way how to deploy is workflow console URLs, eg.:

  • Alf 4.2.f /alfresco/faces/jsp/admin/workflow-console.jsp
  • Alf 5.0.d /alfresco/s/admin/admin-workflowconsole

(write help for the help)

For deploy: activiti - eg. deploy activiti alfresco/extension/wfFileName.bpmn jbpm - eg. deploy jbpm alfresco/extension/wfFileName.bpmn

gl

EDIT: That's for activiti, not sure if it could be the same :)

Btw there should be also way how to deploy through "data dictionary" :)

There are two links that tell you where to put things:

An old but mostly still valid article from Jeff Potts might also come in handy for you.
