activiti5工作流入门小程序

最近工作有接触activiti5工作流，特意到activiti5官网学习了activiti5的一些简单的使用过，在此写一个简单的activiti5程序，使用mysql作为数据库。有不正确的麻烦多多指导。
第一步：
使用eclipse创建基于maven的java项目，pom文件中倒入以下依赖：

<project xmlns="http://maven.apache.org/POM/4.0.0" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:schemaLocation="http://maven.apache.org/POM/4.0.0 http://maven.apache.org/xsd/maven-4.0.0.xsd">
  <modelVersion>4.0.0</modelVersion>
  <groupId>$quickStartJavaProjectName</groupId>
  <artifactId>$quickStartJavaProjectName</artifactId>
  <version>0.0.1-SNAPSHOT</version>

  <!-- ... other configurations may exist, such as a build stanza, depending your environment ... -->

  <dependencies>
    <dependency>
        <groupId>org.activiti</groupId>
        <artifactId>activiti-engine</artifactId>
        <version>5.22.0</version>
    </dependency>
    <dependency>
        <groupId>org.slf4j</groupId>
        <artifactId>slf4j-api</artifactId>
        <version>1.7.21</version>
    </dependency>
    <dependency>
        <groupId>org.slf4j</groupId>
        <artifactId>slf4j-log4j12</artifactId>
        <version>1.7.21</version>
    </dependency>
    <dependency>
        <groupId>com.h2database</groupId>
        <artifactId>h2</artifactId>
        <version>1.4.193</version>
    </dependency>
  </dependencies>
</project>

第二步：添加日志支持
在/src/main/resources/下新建一个文件，命名为：log4j.properties
文件中添加一下配置：
log4j.rootLogger=DEBUG, ACT

log4j.appender.ACT=org.apache.log4j.ConsoleAppender
log4j.appender.ACT.layout=org.apache.log4j.PatternLayout
log4j.appender.ACT.layout.ConversionPattern= %d{hh:mm:ss,SSS} [%t] %-5p %c %x - %m%n

第三步：构建流程引擎
前期工作都准备好之后就开始构建流程引擎了。使用main方法即可。在main方法里面配置数据库链接信息以及数据库表生成的策略。
新建一个OnboardingRequest .java文件

public class OnboardingRequest {

public static void main(String[] args) {
    ProcessEngineConfiguration cfg = new StandaloneProcessEngineConfiguration();
    cfg.setJdbcDriver("com.mysql.jdbc.Driver")
    .setJdbcUrl("jdbc:mysql://127.0.0.1:3306/activiti?useUnicode=true&characterEncoding=UTF8")
    .setJdbcUsername("root")
    .setJdbcPassword("root")
    .setDatabaseSchemaUpdate(ProcessEngineConfiguration.DB_SCHEMA_UPDATE_TRUE);

    ProcessEngine engine = cfg.buildProcessEngine();
    String processName = engine.getName();
    String version = ProcessEngine.VERSION;
    System.out.println("name:"+processName+",version"+version);
}

}

运行main方法会发现打印出了流程名称一级版本号，在这里分别是’default’（默认的名称）和5.22.0.
第四步：开始部署流程定义
在/src/main/resources/下新建一个文件，命名为：onboarding.bpmn20.xml，这里存放的是整个流信息；

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

    </bpmndi:BPMNPlane>
  </bpmndi:BPMNDiagram>
</definitions>

第五步：开始部署
OnboardingRequest.java文件添加如下代码：
//Loads the supplied BPMN model and deploys it to Activiti Process Engine.
RepositoryService repositoryService = engine.getRepositoryService();
Deployment deployment = repositoryService.createDeployment()
.addClasspathResource(“onboarding.bpmn20.xml”).name(“activiti部署名”).deploy();
ProcessDefinition definition = repositoryService.createProcessDefinitionQuery().deploymentId(deployment.getId()).singleResult();
//Retrieves the deployed model, proving that it is in the Activiti repository.
System.out.println(“Found process definition [“+
definition.getName()+”]with id [“+
definition.getId()+”]”);
第六步：执行部署以及恢复部署的数据
运行main方法即可查看activiti5数据库表数据的变化，在act_re_deployment表有一条记录，在act_re_procdef表也有一条记录，在act_ge_bytearray有两条记录，分别存放xml文件和png图像信息。其中id是以部署表的id为基础+1。至此整个以流程到此结束。
