工作流引擎 jBPM 5.2 發布

jBpm是一個靈活可擴展的工作流管理系統。作為 jBpm運行時server輸入的業務流程使用簡單強大的語言表達并打包在流程檔案中。jBmp將工作流應用開發的便利性和杰出的企業應用集成（EAI） 能力結合了起來。jBmp包括一個Web應用程序和一個日程安排程序。jBmp是一組J2SE組件，可以作為J2EE應用集群部署。

jBPM  團隊剛發布了 jBPM 5.2 正式版，jBPM 是一個開源的商業流程管理引擎，支持 BPMN2。

詳細的發行記錄：

jBPM 5.2 主要包括某些方面的優化、bug修復和小改進，主要包含如下幾方面內容：

核心引擎

• domain-specific service repository: the ability to import domain-specific services from a repository so you can immediately use them in your processes, e.g. 推ter integration, FTP, web or REST service, etc. This is ideal for non-technical users to integrate with external services
  
• improved persistence support for multiple databases and backwards compatibility
• jbpm-test: new module that offers improved support for JUnit testing of processes, including the automatic setup of the necessary datasources and services on the fly
  
• support for Java7

安裝程序

• added support for JBoss AS7, which is now used as the default application server in the jbpm-installer

基于Web的設計器

• Integration with the domain-specific service repository
• Visual Process Validation: new features allows users to visually validate their processes at edit time
• Ability to view the process in ERDF, JSON, PDF, PNG, BPMN2, and SVG formats
• New Process Information section: contains information about the process, such as name, creation date, version, etc
• jBPM 3.2 Process Migration: new feature allows users to migrate existing jBPM 3.2-based processes to BPMN2
• Ability to import existing bpmn2 processes straight into designer
• Ability to create "sharable" process image, PDF, and ability to generate code for embedding designer in custom applications
• Support four boundary events
• Visual support for Text Annotations, Groups, and Lanes
• Support for sub-processes
• Update to latest Guvnor
  

Human task service

• introduction of the task service interface, and interface to interact with the (default) human task service (independent of the underlying communication pattern and technology)
  
• user group callback: easily integrate with your own service for user / group validation and user-group-management (which users are part of which groups)
  
• local task service: a local implementation of the task service that runs locally, next to the process engine, and (re)uses the same transaction of the core engine
  
• human task service war: deploy the human task service as a service on your application server
  

jBPM console

• updated to latest version of the JBoss BPM console
• console synchronizes with the process definitions (and other assets) from all packages in the Guvnor repository
  
• updated BIRT reporting to latest version

Eclipse plugin

• jBPM perspective: Eclipse perspective that simplifies workspace configuration
  
• more advanced jBPM project wizard
