h1. Introduction

The version 1.0.0 of the component embeds the BPMN 2.0 engine "Activiti". In this first version, only Activiti extensions can be used at the runtime level.

h1. Using the mode "service"

h2. Creating a service-unit for a process definition

h3. Creating the service contract

The SE BPMN2 provides a service with several operation for a process definition. A WSDL is associated to this service. This WSDL can be written freely. The user can use its own namespace, its own names, ... It is only constraint by the following rules:
* the operations of the binding section *are annotated* to link them to the supported operations of the process definition (create an instance of the process definition, complete the current task of the process instance, ...)
* the mandatory parameters of the operation *are annotated* to retrieve the right values.

{tip}For a unit test purpose, an extension of JUnit is available to validate your WSDL not only in a pur WSDL point of view, but also in a SE BPMN2 point of view. See chapter "[Unit testing|#Unit_Testing]".{tip}

h4. Identifying operations

The mapping between operations of the WSDL and operations supported by the BPMN 2.0 embedded in the SE BPMN2 is declared using a dedicated binding. The binding "BPMN2" is done adding the element {{\{http://petals.ow2.org/se/bpmn2.0/1.0}operation}} to the element operation of the binding. Its attribute *{{bpmnAction}}* defines the operation that will be executed on the process engine according to the following values:
|| value of {{bpmnAction}} || operation executed on the process engine ||
| {{startEvent}} | Create a new instance of the process. See [Associating an operation to the creation of an process definition instance|#associating_startEvent] for more information on this operation. |
| {{userTask}} | Complete a user task. See [Associating an operation to the completion of a process instance task|#associating_userTask] for more information on this operation. |

h4. Identifying input parameters of operations

In the same way, input parameters of operations are mapped through an annotation placed inside the message of the binding operation. Two natures of input parameters exists:
* the expected input parameters
* and, variables.
Each BPMN 2.0 engine API operation can require mandatory or optional input parameter, the expected input parameters, and can accept to set several variables in the same time.

Expected input parameters are declared using dedicated annotation according to the operation:

* the attribute *{{value}}* defines the value to set to the variable using an XPath expression.
See operation details to know if variables can be set.
No extra check is done by the SE BPMN2 about the compliance of the variable with the process definition.

No XSL parameters is available to generate the service output reply. Your XSL style-sheet will be a "constant" style-sheet.

A such operation is defined for each task of the process definition to complete. {color:red}*C'est le cas d'un service par tache à terminer. Essayer de mieux expliquer.*{color}.

{color:red}*Mapping des parametres à faire*{color}

{code:title=WSDL mapping sample}

<bpmn:output xsl="validOrderOutput.xsl" />
<wsdl:input/>
<wsdl:output/>
</wsdl:operation>
</wsdl:binding>
{code}

{code:title=Associated input request}
<validOrderRequest>
<orderId>12345</orderId>

{code:title=Associated output request}
<validOrderResponse />
{code}

h4. Associating an operation to retrieve process instances

The operation retrieving process instances is identified by the value *{{retrieveProcInst}}* set on the attribute {{bpmnAction}}:
{code}
<wsdl:binding name="Order" xmlns:bpmn="http://petals.ow2.org/se/bpmn2.0/1.0">
<wsdl:operation name="searchOrder" type="...">
<bpmn:operation bpmnAction="retrieveProcInst" />
<bpmn:input-parameter name="isActive" value="/searchOrderRequest/isInProgress" />
<bpmn:input-parameter name="responsibleUser" value="/searchOrderRequest/responsibleUser" />
<bpmn:input-parameter name="responsibleGroup" value="/searchOrderRequest/responsibleGroup" />
<bpmn:output xsl="searchOrderOutput.xsl" />
<wsdl:input/>
<wsdl:output/>
</wsdl:operation>
</wsdl:binding>
{code}

This operation requires the following input parameters:
|| Input parameter name || Type || Description || Required ||
| isActive | Boolean | Only active task are returned. | No |
| responsibleUser | String | Only select tasks for which the given user is a candidate are returned. | No |
| responsibleGroup | String | Only select tasks for which users in the given group are candidates are returned. | No |
It does not use variables.

The process instances returned by the component are all associated to the current process definition (the process definition packaged in the service unit).

The XSL parameters available to generate the service output reply are:
|| XSL parameter name || Type || Description ||
| processInstances | {color:red}Quel type 'list' est exploitable coté XSL{color} | The list of process instance identifier matching criteria. |

It is possible to map several operations of the WSDL to search process instance, for example with different search criteria.

h2. Deploying a service unit

When deploying the service unit on the SE BPMN2, the embedded process definition is automatically deployed into the BPMN 2.0 engine, and the associated services are registered.

{note}When a Petals ESB node restarts, all service units previously deployed are redeployed. So if a process definition is already registered in the BPMN 2.0 engine, its registration is skipped without any message.{note}
{tip}To be able to fix a process definition, you must create a new version of the process definition{tip}

h2. Undeploying a service unit

When undeploying a service unit from the SE BPMN2, the embedded process definition is deregistered from the BPMN 2.0 engine, and the assocaited services are unregistered.
{color:red}Que faire si il y a encore de process instances en cours ?{color}

h1. Using the mode "integration"

The mode "integration" provides different services to interact directly with the BPMN 2.0 engine embedded in the SE BPMN 2.0. It goes back over the BPMN 2.0 engine API. Available services are:
|| Interface name || Service name || Description ||
| {{Runtime}} | {{RuntimeService}} | To manage process instances |
| {{Task}} | {{TaskService}} | To manage task of process instances |

{color:red}*A completer avec Bertrand*{color}

For this version of the SE BPMN 2.0, see the WSDL of the service and the Activiti Java API documentation to get more information.
{tip}The namespace of interface name and service name is {{http://petals.ow2.org/se/bpmn2.0/1.0}}{tip}

h2. The service "RuntimeService"

The service "RuntimeService" provides following operations
|| Operation name || Description || Matching Activity Java API ||
| startProcessInstanceById | Starts a new process instance in the latest version of the process definition with the given id and variables. | {{RuntimeService.startProcessInstanceById(String, Map<String,Object>)}} |
| startProcessInstanceByKey | Starts a new process instance in the latest version of the process definition with the given key and variables. | {{RuntimeService.startProcessInstanceByKey(String, Map<String,Object>)}} |

{color:red}*A completer avec Bertrand*{color}

h2. The service "TaskService"

The service "TaskService" provides following operations
|| Operation name || Description || Matching Activity Java API ||
| complete | Called when the task is successfully executed, and the required task parameters are given by the end-user. | {{TaskService.complete(String, Map<String,Object>)}} |

{color:red}*A completer avec Bertrand*{color}

h1. Configuring the component

The component can be configured through the parameters of its JBI descriptor file. These parameters are divided in following groups:
* *JBI parameters* that have not to be changed otherwise the component will not work,
* *CDK parameters* that are parameters driving the processing of the CDK layer,
* and *BPMN 2.0 engine parameters" that are relative to the BPMN 2.0 engine.

h2. CDK parameters
The component configuration includes the configuration of the CDK. The following parameters correspond to the CDK configuration.

{include:0 CDK Component Configuration Table 5.4.0}
{include:0 CDK Parameter scope}
{include:0 CDK Component Interceptor configuration}

h2. Component specific parameters

These parameters drive features proposed by the component and configure the BPMN 2.0 engine "Activiti 5.14" embedded in the SE:
* activation of the mode 'integration',
* database parameters. Your are responsible to provide this database according to your needs. And especially, you must assume that the database is highly available to have a SE BPMN2 highly available.

h1. Logging

To enable traces of the BPMN 2.0 engine "Activiti", you add in the logging configuration file of Petals ESB the following logger with the right level: {{xxxx}}

h1. Monitoring the component

{warning}In this documentation, the term "Allocated threads" must be understood as "Active threads", see [PETALSDISTRIB-37|https://jira.petalslink.com/browse/PETALSDISTRIB-37]. This naming error will be fixed in the next version.{warning}

h2. Using metrics

Several probes providing metrics are included in the component, and are available through the JMX MBean '{{org.ow2.petals:type=custom,name=monitoring_*<component-id>*}}', where {{*<component-id>*}} is the unique JBI identifier of the component.

h3. Common metrics

{include:0 CDK Component Monitoring Metrics 5.4.0}

h3. Dedicated metrics

No dedicated metric is available.

h2. Receiving alerts

Several alerts are notified by the component through notification of the JMX MBean '{{org.ow2.petals:type=custom,name=monitoring_*<component-id>*}}', where {{*<component-id>*}} is the unique JBI identifier of the component.

{tip}To integrate these alerts with Nagios, see [petalsesbsnapshot:Receiving Petals ESB defects in Nagios].{tip}

h1. Unit testing

An extension of JUnit is available:
* to validate your WSDL,
* to test unitary your XSLs.

h2. Validating your WSDL

{color:red}*TODO*{color}

h2. Unit-testing your XSD

A framework is available to unit-test the service unit deployed on the SE BPMN2. It provides facilities for:
* check the compliance of the WSDL with the attendees of the component,
* verify easily the XSL used to generate output replies.

h3. Checking the compliance of the WSDL

The unit test framework contains an assertion '{{assertIsCompliant}}' to verify easily the compliance of your WSDL with the attendees of the mode 'service':
{code:lang=java}
import static org.junit.Assert.assertNotNull;
import static org.ow2.petals.se.bpmn2.unittest.Assert.assertIsCompliant;

import java.io.InputStream;

import org.junit.Test;

public class WSDLComplianceTest {

@Test
public void testWSDLCompliance() {
final InputStream isWsdl = Thread.currentThread().getContextClassLoader()
.getResourceAsStream("myService.wsdl");
assertNotNull("WSDL not found as resource !", isWsdl);
assertIsCompliant("WSDL not compliant with SE BPMN2 attendes !", isWsdl);
