Activiti listeners not working

HI,

I am trying to catch all the events for a process running on the Activiti explorer. I have implemented the bpmnparselistener class and moved my handler classes as Jars file to the WEB-INF/lib folder (ParseListener.jar). I have uploaded my process to the explorer using the bar file. However. no events are generated for the deployed process i.e. start event. I think It is my code below, which i am not sure where to put. Currently, it is in \webapps\activiti-explorer\WEB-INF\applicationContext.xml. I tried embedding the Listener with in the BPMN xml file and it worked but look like the Activiti can not read when using BPMNParseListener (implemented). It doesn't raise any exceptions or errors. My understanding is that Activiti engine automatically understand the customPostBPMNParseListeners property and there is nothing to declare in the process itself

 <property name="customPostBPMNParseListeners">
      <list>
        <bean class="org.handler.ParseListener"></bean>
      </list>
    </property>‍‍‍‍‍

Any help would be highly appreciated

thanks,

Hi,

You should add this property to the activiti-standalone-context.xml file for the following bean:

<bean id="processEngineConfiguration" class="org.activiti.spring.SpringProcessEngineConfiguration">

Best regards,

Thanks for your reply.

I have Activiti 5.10 and can not locate the file activiti-standalone-context.xml file. Could you please specify where can I locate this file

thanks

This is still unresolved for me. Could someone help plz?

Hi,
activiti-standalone-context.xml is contained only (imho) into activiti 5.11 release.
No refrence in activiti 5.10 (user guide) was found

Smiley Surprised

ops:

I'm found that into activiti-explorer.war file of 5.11 release. The activiti-explorer.war was placed into "activiti-5.11\wars" order. Notice, that i have downloaded activiti-5.11 into "activiti-5.11" order

If i open the activiti-explorer.war with 7z-program i see the activiti-standalone-context.xml under
activiti-5.11\wars\activiti-explorer.war\WEB-INF\

Hi,

I have activiti 5.10

I tried inserting the following code

&nbsp; <property name="customPostBPMNParseListeners"><br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; <list><br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; <bean class="org.handler.Listener"></bean><br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; </list><br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; </property>

into
\activiti-5.10\apps\apache-tomcat\webapps\activiti-explorer\WEB-INF\applicationcontext.xml
Also tried
\activiti-5.10\setup\files\webapps\activiti-explorer.war\WEB-INF\applicationcontext.xml
Also tried
\activiti-5.10\setup\files\cfg.activiti\standalone\activiti.cfg.xml

but none of them worked for me.

I have my handler classes in \activiti-5.10\apps\apache-tomcat\webapps\activiti-explorer\WEB-INF\lib\

I am not sure where I am wrong.

Please help me out

Hi,
Can you paste the whole \activiti-5.10\apps\apache-tomcat\webapps\activiti-explorer\WEB-INF\applicationcontext.xml (not only lisr-fragment)

and the java code for listeners?
?

P.S i assume, that it not specifical activiti but spring configuration problem

Many thanks.

For the handler classes, I have simply implemented the BpmnParseListener class (I think too long to paste here). I have tried this offline using UnitTest and it worked for implementing BPMNParseListner but I am struggling configure this on tomcat explorer. I have also tested the handler classes by embedding the with in the process itself and it worked but this is not what I want. I want to use the BpmnParseListener to catch all the events when a process is deployed on TomCat.

Am I also right to put those handler classes in \activiti-5.10\apps\apache-tomcat\webapps\activiti-explorer\WEB-INF\lib\

Hi,
it worked if i test it :roll: The parseStartEvent method will be called. The MyBpmnParseListener instance will be created.

I just implemented the org.activiti.engine.impl.bpmn.parser.BpmnParseListener too, then i have registered it into applicationContext.xml of activiti explorer 5.10, that placed under …\activiti-5.10\apps\apache-tomcat-6.0.32\webapps\activiti-explorer\WEB-INF\ :
( Note, that i have manually add the <context:annotation-config /> to enable the spring autowiring)

Thank you very much for you help.

Unfortunately, it is still not working. I can see that tomcat manage to load MyBPMNParseListner Class but fails to generate any events. May be it has something to do with the process deployment. Below is a simple bpmn process that I have deployed using the Bar file.

Hi,
i assume, that no correlation exists.
I tested the following simple bpmn process, that i have just deployed.

The logs, that appear immediately after process deploying by activiti explorer (upload functionality) (before process started):

Process-definitions are cached, so the parse will only be called when:

- Process is new and is deployed
- Process exists and is not yet used since the activiti-engine has booted OR has been evicted from the process-definition cache.

So parse-listeners ARE working. They're only called once. Since process-definitions are immutable, it doesn't make sense to parse the XML of the process-definition again, since we're 100% sure it's still the same.. Joram added some interesting stuff to the 5.12 to allow the definition-cache to be pluggable.

If you want to add listeners for STARTING a process, use execution-listeners (see user guide) instead of parse-listeners…

HI,

I am sorry but I am confused now.
Basically, I was using execution listeners earlier to catch events every time a process is executed (regardless of first time only). I had to embed the execution listeners within the process to generate events (for process itself, service tasks, script tasks, usertask etc). However, I was looking for a more generic approach by not embedding the listener within the process but rather external. That's when I was told to use BPMNParseListener (like history functionality). I wanted to catch all the events a process could generate.

For example, my service tasks are implemented as webservices and they could be invoked many time at runtime. You mean I can not use the BPMNParseListener Class because it only works for a newly deployed process and is executed once. It can not be used if a process is executed multiple time for some reasons.

Please advise as it is very important for me to know

thanks

Look at org.activiti.engine.impl.persistence.deploy.DeploymentCache.resolveProcessDefinition(ProcessDefinitionEntity).
Only if processDefinition==null, so it will be parsed.
Show call hiearchy of
org.activiti.engine.impl.bpmn.parser.BpmnParse.parseProcessDefinitions()
So you can not use the BPMNParseListener during runtime.

The org.activiti.engine.impl.persistence.deploy.DeploymentCache.resolveProcessDefinition(ProcessDefinitionEntity):

<br>&nbsp; protected ProcessDefinitionEntity resolveProcessDefinition(ProcessDefinitionEntity processDefinition) {<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; String processDefinitionId = processDefinition.getId();<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; String deploymentId = processDefinition.getDeploymentId();<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; processDefinition = processDefinitionCache.get(processDefinitionId);<br>[b]&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; if (processDefinition==null) {[/b]<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; DeploymentEntity deployment = Context<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; .getCommandContext()<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; .getDeploymentManager()<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; .findDeploymentById(deploymentId);<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; deployment.setNew(false);<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; deploy(deployment);<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; processDefinition = processDefinitionCache.get(processDefinitionId);<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; <br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; if (processDefinition==null) {<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; throw new ActivitiException("deployment '"+deploymentId+"' didn't put process definition '"+processDefinitionId+"' in the cache");<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; }<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; }<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; return processDefinition;<br>&nbsp; }

@ logic3: A BPMNParseListener is a good approach for adding Execution-listeners or task-listeners to ALL processes, without defining the explicit ally in the process.

So when a process is parsed (or any element you're interested in), you should add an instance of the execution-listener you want to it. A good example is this class in Alfresco, which adds task-listeners to all tasks, to do validation:

http://svn.alfresco.com/repos/alfresco-open-mirror/alfresco/HEAD/root/projects/repository/source/java/org/alfresco/repo/workflow/activiti/AlfrescoBpmnParseListener.java

<br>@Override<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; public void parseUserTask(Element userTaskElement, ScopeImpl scope, ActivityImpl activity)<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; {<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; ActivityBehavior activitybehaviour = activity.getActivityBehavior();<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; if (activitybehaviour instanceof UserTaskActivityBehavior)<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; {<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; UserTaskActivityBehavior userTaskActivity = (UserTaskActivityBehavior) activitybehaviour;<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; if (createTaskListener != null)<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; {<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; userTaskActivity.getTaskDefinition().addTaskListener(TaskListener.EVENTNAME_CREATE, createTaskListener);<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; }<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; if (completeTaskListener != null)<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; {<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; userTaskActivity.getTaskDefinition().addTaskListener(TaskListener.EVENTNAME_COMPLETE,<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; completeTaskListener);<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; }<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; }<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; }<br><br>

@frederikheremans: this is a relief. So i can still get events at runtime

This is what I have been doing. for example

<br>public class ParseListener implements BpmnParseListener {<br><br> protected static final ActivityInstanceStartHandler ACTIVITY_INSTANCE_START_LISTENER = new ActivityInstanceStartHandler();<br><br> protected void addActivityHandlers(ActivityImpl activity) {<br><br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; activity.addExecutionListener(PvmEvent.EVENTNAME_START, ACTIVITY_INSTANCE_START_LISTENER, 0);<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; activity.addExecutionListener(PvmEvent.EVENTNAME_END, ACTIVITY_INSTANCE_END_LISTENER);<br>&nbsp;&nbsp; <br> }}<br>

and my ActivityInstanceStartHandler class

<br>public class ActivityInstanceStartHandler implements ExecutionListener{<br>&nbsp; <br>&nbsp; public void notify(DelegateExecution execution) {<br>&nbsp; <br>&nbsp;&nbsp; String activityId = ((ExecutionEntity) execution).getActivityId();<br>&nbsp;&nbsp; System.out.println(">>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>&mdash;&mdash;&mdash;&mdash;&mdash;&mdash;&mdash;> Activity Start Event of "+activityId);<br>&nbsp;&nbsp; System.out.println("Activity = " +activityId);<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; <br>&nbsp; }<br>}

but as I explain earlier, the deployed process generate no event. Could you please help?

thanks

frederikherema1

protected void addActivityHandlers(ActivityImpl activity) {

Is this piece of code called from within the "parseProcess()" method on BPMNParseListener? As I said before, the bpmnparselistener is only called once per process, so once the listeners are added to the definition, the BPMNParseListener doesn't need to be called again…

My code is inspired from the HistoryParseListener and the piece of code is called from various other methods i.e. parseScriptTask(), ParseUserTask() etc. I have my handler classes for handling various tasks with in a process ( as in HistoryParseListener)

Even if the bpmnparselistener is only called once per process, do you think the added execution listener could be executed more than once for a particular service task or a user task (if invoked more than once)

thanks

frederikherema1

do you think the added execution listener could be executed more than once for a particular service task or a user task (if invoked more than once)

yes, that's exactly what should happen… otherwise, history wouldn't work for more than on process

I am sorry but I have to start this again as I still have no success with it. I have implemented my BPMNPasrseListener class like the HistoryParseListner class and copied my handler classes as Jars file to the WEB-INF/lib folder. I have uploaded my process to the explorer using the bar file.
(https://svn.codehaus.org/activiti/activiti/branches/meyerd/modules/activiti-engine/src/main/java/org/activiti/engine/impl/history/handler/HistoryParseListener.java)

But it does nothing. I added the customPostBPMNParseListeners property to my activiti-explorer\WEB-INF\applicationContext.xml. It manages to find my BPMNPasrseListener class when I execute the demo.start and displays

&mdash;&mdash;&mdash;&mdash;&mdash;&mdash;&mdash;&mdash;&mdash;&mdash;&mdash;&mdash;&mdash;&mdash;&mdash;&mdash;&mdash;&mdash;&mdash;<br>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> CLASS LOADED <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<: org.bpmnwithactiviti.handler.MyBpmnParseListener<br>&mdash;&mdash;&mdash;&mdash;&mdash;&mdash;&mdash;&mdash;&mdash;&mdash;&mdash;&mdash;&mdash;&mdash;&mdash;&mdash;&mdash;&mdash;&mdash;

But nothing when the actual process is executed.

How I Test It:
-I create a BPMN diagram and then generate a bar file for it
-Start server with ant demo.start and upload the bar file to the Activiti explorer
-and then run the process from the explorer
However, nothing happens during these steps

I will really appreciate your help!. Below you can find the output.

Are you using Activiti 5.10?
What did you implement in the BpmnParseListener?

Best regards,

Yes, It is Activiti 5.10.

I tried to Implement the BpmnParseListener like the HistoryParseListner class. I have a method (addActivityHandlers()-shown below) with in the BpmnParseListener that is called from different parse events for example;

 <br>public void parseServiceTask(Element serviceTaskElement, ScopeImpl scope, ActivityImpl activity) {addActivityHandlers(activity);<br>&nbsp; }<br>

<br>addActivityHandlers(ActivityImpl activity) {<br>activity.addExecutionListener(PvmEvent.EVENTNAME_START, ACTIVITY_INSTANCE_START_LISTENER, 0);<br>activity.addExecutionListener(PvmEvent.EVENTNAME_END, ACTIVITY_INSTANCE_END_LISTENER);<br> }

I also have my handler classes to catch the events. They are separate classes for example: ActivityInstanceStartHandler, ActivityInstanceEndHandler.

I have tested this application offline with unit Testing and it works perfectly but it is not working on server or activiti explorer to generate live events.

thanks,

Kind regards,

Is your engine-configuration in the activiti-explorer application-context? A default activiti.cfg.xml file IS NOT picked up in activiti-explorer, as it uses the spring-context to fire up the engine, unlike how it is done in a standalone setup.

Honestly I am not sure about my engine configuration

Smiley Surprised

ops: . I thought the Activiti engine uses activiti-explorer\WEB-INF\applicationContext.xml by default for configuration and that's why I added the bpmnParseListner property to the activiti-explorer\WEB-INF\applicationContext.xml. Could you please advise how to resolve this or fix this problem ?

You are right, it does. But if you test you code in a unit-test for example, standalone activiti.cfg.xml is used (if using default activiti test cases).

That configuration looks good. You said that it worked outside of tomcat, how did you test that?

Thanks for your reply.

I really can't figure out why it is not working. Below you can find my applicationcontext file for offline testing. It offers engine configuration, deploy the process and contain the BPMNParseListner property. I then used the "@ContextConfiguration("classpath:listener/application-context.xml")" with in my tester.java file which simply run the process using "ProcessInstance processInstance = runtimeService.startProcessInstanceByKey("Process");". For unit testing, the running process successfully throws out events.

I don't see any other customizations in your app-context.xml file. Are you sure there is NO activiti.cfg.xml on your class path somewhere?

Because it *could* be that the wrong default-process-engine has been initialized BEFORE, so the one that your spring-context fires up, is not registered as default. All explorer-app code uses ProcessEngines.getDefaultProcessEngine() to obtain a process-engine.

So the presence of a activiti.cfg.xml-file will cause that engine to be used, while all other parts (UI, …) are taken from spring.

thanks for your response.
Could you please advise how to fix this so that the activiti explorer start throwing events?

cheers

As I said in the previous post: can you check IF there ere any activiti.cfg.xml-files on your tomcat class path (in WEB-INF/classes, inside a jar, in tomcat/lib, …). If this is the case, remove it. If this is not the case, we're back to square one…

Thanks a million. It is working now

Smiley Very Happy

.
You were right. I had to delete the activiti-cfg.jar from tomcat/lib.
Thanks again.

frederikherema1

The jar was there for the activiti-rest, probably. Glad it worked out for you, there needed to be a simple explanation for your problem. Only the road to it was far from simple
