Activiti 10分钟教程

一、安装环境

• Java JDK SE 1.7.4x 
• Apache Tomcat7
• Activiti 5.13
• Eclipse Indigo (activiti插件)
• H2 database(建议用1.3.X，太高的在activiti连接的时候会报错)

     HB database安装时，直接使用安装包根据安装向导完成。

     Eclipse activiti插件安装: 【Help】->【Install New Software...】在弹出的框中点击【Add...】,加入下面的内容:

• *Name:*Activiti BPMN 2.0 designer

• *Location:*http://activiti.org/designer/update/
  如图：

后面再选择全部，往后点【next】直到安装完成。

二、验证环境

    1、 activiti-explorer启动

     需要jdk是1.7的，所以tomcat也需要7，不然会把NoClassDefFoundException错误，操作：

     a、把 activiti-explorer.war拷到webapps目录下，启动tomcat

     b、登录 http://localhost:8080/activiti-explorer，用户名/密码  kermit/kermit

     登录成功，说明服务正常。

     2、H2独立服务

          windows通过菜单找到H2 Console (Command Line)，启动H2 数据库。

          登录http://localhost:8082，会出现如下登录界面

          

          修改红色区域内容，如果不能登录，则用jdbc:h2:tcp://localhost/activiti，能够登录说明数据库正常。

三、Activiti Explorer 与H2数据库集成

     1、关掉数据库服务和Activiti Explorer服务，首先启动数据库服务，

     2、再修改Activiti Explorer的db配置文件，文件路径： \webapps\activitiexplorer\WEBINF\classes\db.properties  file

          把jdbc.url改成jdbc.url=jdbc:h2:tcp://localhost/~/activiti，如果连接数据库的为jdbc:h2:tcp://localhost/activiti，这里就改成一样的。

     3、启动Activiti服务器，再登录Activiti，登录成功说明集成成功。到数据库界面可以看到新增加的数据库表。

四、自己创建实例运行

     1、在Eclipse中安装插件后，可以新建activiti project，再创建一个*.bpmn20.xml文件，这里直接拷手册中的数据到此文件，如下：

      <?  xml   version =  "1.0"   encoding  =  "UTF-8" ?>

<  definitions   id =  "definitions"

   targetNamespace =  "http://activiti.org/bpmn20"

   xmlns:activiti =  "http://activiti.org/bpmn"

   xmlns =  "http://www.omg.org/spec/BPMN/20100524/MODEL"  >

         <  process   id =  "financialReport"   name  =  "Monthly financial report reminder process" >

          <  startEvent   id =  "theStart"   />

          <  sequenceFlow   id =  'flow1'   sourceRef  =  'theStart'   targetRef =  'writeReportTask'   />

          <  userTask   id =  "writeReportTask"   name  =  "Write monthly financial report"   >

            <  documentation >

             Write monthly financial report for publication to shareholders.

            </  documentation >

            <  potentialOwner >

              <  resourceAssignmentExpression >

                <  formalExpression >  accountancy  </ formalExpression  >

              </  resourceAssignmentExpression >

            </  potentialOwner >

          </  userTask >

          <  sequenceFlow   id =  'flow2'   sourceRef  =  'writeReportTask'   targetRef  = 'verifyReportTask'  />

          <  userTask   id =  "verifyReportTask"   name  =  "Verify monthly financial report"   >

            <  documentation >

             Verify monthly financial report composed by the accountancy department.

             This financial report is going to be sent to all the company shareholders.

            </  documentation >

            <  potentialOwner >

              <  resourceAssignmentExpression >

                <  formalExpression >  management  </ formalExpression  >

              </  resourceAssignmentExpression >

            </  potentialOwner >

          </  userTask >

          <  sequenceFlow   id =  'flow3'   sourceRef  =  'verifyReportTask'   targetRef  = 'theEnd'  />

          <  endEvent   id =  "theEnd"   />

         </  process >

</  definitions >

      2、新建一个测试的java文件，文件内容可以如下：

           public   static  void  main(String[]  args ) {

                // Create Activiti process engine

                ProcessEngine  processEngine  = ProcessEngineConfiguration

                  . createStandaloneProcessEngineConfiguration()

                  .buildProcessEngine();

                 // Get Activiti services

                RepositoryService  repositoryService  =  processEngine  .getRepositoryService();

                RuntimeService  runtimeService  =  processEngine  .getRuntimeService();

                 // Deploy the process definition

                 repositoryService  .createDeployment()

                  .addClasspathResource(  "myProcess.bpmn20.xml"  )

                  .deploy();

                // Start a process instance

                  String  procId  =  runtimeService  .startProcessInstanceByKey( "financialReport"  ).getId();

            // Get the first task

           TaskService  taskService  =  processEngine  .getTaskService();

           List<Task>  tasks  =  taskService  .createTaskQuery().taskCandidateGroup( "accountancy"  ).list();

             for  (Task  task  :  tasks  ) {

             System.  out  .println( "Following task is available for accountancy group: "  +  task .getName());

              // claim it

              taskService  .claim( task  .getId(),  "fozzie" );

           }

            // Verify Fozzie can now retrieve the task

            tasks  =  taskService  .createTaskQuery().taskAssignee( "fozzie"  ).list();

            for  (Task  task  :  tasks  ) {

             System.  out  .println( "Task for fozzie: "  +  task  .getName());

              // Complete the task

              taskService  .complete( task  .getId());

           }

           System.  out  .println( "Number of tasks for fozzie: "

                   +  taskService  .createTaskQuery().taskAssignee( "fozzie"  ).count());

            // Retrieve and claim the second task

            tasks  =  taskService  .createTaskQuery().taskCandidateGroup( "management"  ).list();

            for  (Task  task  :  tasks  ) {

             System.  out  .println( "Following task is available for management group: "  +  task .getName());

              taskService  .claim( task  .getId(),  "kermit" );

           }

            // Completing the second task ends the process

            for  (Task  task  :  tasks  ) {

              taskService  .complete( task  .getId());

           }

            // verify that the process is actually finished

           HistoryService  historyService  =  processEngine  .getHistoryService();

           HistoricProcessInstance  historicProcessInstance  =

              historyService  .createHistoricProcessInstanceQuery().processInstanceId(  procId ).singleResult();

           System.  out  .println( "Process instance end time: "  +  historicProcessInstance  .getEndTime());

         }

          测试类后完成发布流程，启动流程和完成流程等一系列操作，这个是我们自己项目需要使用的API。
