最近要开始使用activiti结合原有的系统来开发一个专业领域内的业务管理软件,以下记录了第一次搭建该开发平台过程中所遇到的各种问题,备忘。
一、按照如下方式新建一个web工程
之所以要用maven,主要是为了解决各种依赖项的问题,用maven来管理依赖项还是很方便的。
用Eclipse创建Maven结构的web项目的时候选择了Artifact Id为maven-artchetype-webapp,由于这个catalog比较老,用的servlet还是2.3的,而一般现在都是用3.0,在Project Facets里面修改Dynamic web module为3.0的时候就会出现Cannot change version of project facet Dynamic web module to 3.0,如图:
解决这个问题的步骤如下:
1. 把Servlet改成3.0,打开项目的web.xml
<?
xml
version
=
"1.0"
encoding
=
"UTF-8"
?>
<
web-app
xmlns:xsi
=
"http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
xmlns
=
"http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee"
xsi:schemaLocation
=
"http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee/web-app_3_0.xsd"
id
=
"schedule-console"
version
=
"3.0"
>
2. 修改项目的设置,在Navigator下打开项目.settings目录下的org.eclipse.jdt.core.prefs
把1.5改成1.8
eclipse.preferences.version=1
org.eclipse.jdt.core.compiler.codegen.inlineJsrBytecode=enabled
org.eclipse.jdt.core.compiler.codegen.targetPlatform=1.8
org.eclipse.jdt.core.compiler.compliance=1.8
org.eclipse.jdt.core.compiler.problem.assertIdentifier=error
org.eclipse.jdt.core.compiler.problem.enumIdentifier=error
org.eclipse.jdt.core.compiler.problem.forbiddenReference=warning
org.eclipse.jdt.core.compiler.source=1.8
3. 打开org.eclipse.wst.common.project.facet.core.xml
把java改为1.8, 把jst.web改为3.0;
<?
xml
version
=
"1.0"
encoding
=
"UTF-8"
?>
<
faceted-project
>
<
fixed
facet
=
"wst.jsdt.web"
/>
<
installed
facet
=
"jst.web"
version
=
"3.0"
/>
<
installed
facet
=
"wst.jsdt.web"
version
=
"1.0"
/>
<
installed
facet
=
"java"
version
=
"1.8"
/>
</
faceted-project
>
二、解决报错The superclass "javax.servlet.http.HttpServlet" was not found on the Java Build Path
可以使用如下步骤来解决。
1、右击web工程-》属性或Build Path-》Java Build Path->Libraries-> Add Libray...->Server Runtime -》Tomcat Server
2、切换到Java Build Path界面中的Orader and Export,选择Tomcat。
三、修改项目的pom.xml文件,添加activiti相关依赖项
相关依赖项如下:
<dependency>
<groupId>org.activiti</groupId>
<artifactId>activiti-engine</artifactId>
<version>${activiti-version}</version>
</dependency>
<dependency>
<groupId>org.activiti</groupId>
<artifactId>activiti-spring</artifactId>
<version>${activiti-version}</version>
</dependency>
<dependency>
<groupId>org.codehaus.groovy</groupId>
<artifactId>groovy-all</artifactId>
<version>2.4.3</version>
</dependency>
<dependency>
<groupId>com.h2database</groupId>
<artifactId>h2</artifactId>
<version>1.3.168</version>
</dependency>
<dependency>
<groupId>org.slf4j</groupId>
<artifactId>slf4j-api</artifactId>
<version>1.7.6</version>
</dependency>
<dependency>
<groupId>org.slf4j</groupId>
<artifactId>slf4j-jdk14</artifactId>
<version>1.7.6</version>
</dependency>
<dependency>
<groupId>junit</groupId>
<artifactId>junit</artifactId>
<version>4.11</version>
</dependency>
其中
activiti
-version的定义如下:
<properties>
<activiti-version>5.18.0</activiti-version>
</properties>
其实这些内容我都是从Activiti工程的pom文件中拷贝过来的。
四、添加activiti需要的配置文件
在activiti的userguide(
http://activiti.org/userguide/index.html#_configuration )中有说。
如果我们使用如下语句来创建一个流程引擎实例
ProcessEngine processEngine = ProcessEngines.getDefaultProcessEngine() |
那么实际上他是到该项目的classpath路径下去找一个名为 activiti.cfg.xml的配置文件,然后根据该配置文件的设置,通过spring的方式来创建一个processEngine。而且是去找其中的那个名字是default的processEngine。
所以我们可以在该项目的src/main/resources 目录下创建一个名为 activiti.cfg.xml的文件,然后将如下内容复制进去。
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<beans xmlns="http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans"
xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
xsi:schemaLocation="http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans
http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans/spring-beans.xsd">
<bean id="processEngineConfiguration" class="org.activiti.engine.impl.cfg.StandaloneInMemProcessEngineConfiguration">
</bean>
</beans>
五、创建sql server数据库
通过sql server management studio 创建一个数据库,比如名字叫做 activiti
六、在maven中添加sql server jdbc依赖项
在maven仓库中是没有sql server 的jdbc jar包的,可以按照如下步骤操作
Download the JDBC driver for Microsoft SQL Server
-
- Visit the MSDN site for SQL Server and download the latest version of the JDBC driver for your operating system.
- Unzip the package
- Open a command prompt and switch into the expanded directory where the
jar
file is located. - Execute the following command. Be sure to modify the
jar
file name and version as necessary:
1
|
mvn
install
:
install
-
file
-Dfile=sqljdbc4.jar -Dpackaging=jar -DgroupId=com.microsoft.sqlserver -DartifactId=sqljdbc4 -Dversion=4.0
|
-
- You should see something similar to this:
1
2
3
4
5
6
7
8
9
10
11
12
13

Modify your POM
Include the new dependency by modifying your project’s pom.xml
. Add the following dependency:
1
2
3
4
5
|
<
dependency
>
<
groupId
>com.microsoft.sqlserver</
groupId
>
<
artifactId
>sqljdbc4</
artifactId
>
<
version
>4.0</
version
>
</
dependency
>
|
Save the pom.xml
file and build the project to make sure no errors exist.
七、让activiti连接sql server数据库
修改第四节中的activiti.cfg.xml文件,将
processEngineConfiguration
的内容改成下文这样:
<bean id="processEngineConfiguration" class="org.activiti.engine.impl.cfg.StandaloneInMemProcessEngineConfiguration">
<property name="databaseSchemaUpdate" value="true"/>
<property name="jdbcUrl" value="jdbc:sqlserver://localhost:1433;databaseName=activiti2 " />
<property name="jdbcDriver" value="com.microsoft.sqlserver.jdbc.SQLServerDriver" />
<property name="jdbcUsername" value="sa" />
<property name="jdbcPassword" value="sa123" />
</bean>
八、在代码中使用activiti的api
ProcessEngine
processEngine
= ProcessEngines.
getDefaultProcessEngine
();
if(processEngine != null)
{
out.println("<h1> Hello !" + processEngine.getName() + "</h1>");
IdentityService identityService = processEngine.getIdentityService();
List<String> keys = identityService.getUserInfoKeys("Kermit");
for(String key: keys)
{
out.println(String.format("<h1> key = %s, value = %s </h1>", key, identityService.getUserInfo("Kermit", key)));
}
}
以上在调用
ProcessEngines.
getDefaultProcessEngine
();
的时候,实际上背后就会去调用搜索classPath目录下的activiti.cfg.xml文件,然后通过其中的配置来创建processEngine对象。
九、在eclipse中调试activiti项目
在eclipse中调试web项目,其实他是把相关的资料生成到如下路径:
<eclipse workspace dir>\.metadata\.plugins\org.eclipse.wst.server.core\tmp0\wtpwebapps\MavenWeb
如果发现某项配置修改之后,调试的时候没有生效,那可以试着clean一下, Project ->clean...,然后重新生成即可。
