Hierarchical support for embedded sub processes

mcervera

Hi,

When will this feature be supported in the Activiti Designer?

As a work around, I've thought of using the CallActivity element, but (if I am correct) this forces me to define the processes in separate .activiti models, which is undersirable for me. Is there any other way to obtain this functionality?

Best regards,

Mario

Hi,

Can you explain a little bit more why you need hierarchical sub processes?
Actually for 2 reasons, one to understand the use case, and second for having a test case.

Thanks.

Hi,

Well … it is actually defined in the BPMN 2.0 specification, so I presume the Activiti Designer will eventually provide support to it. That's why I wondered when.

My use case is the following: I've got an Eclipse RCP Application which has some processes defined as models in a non-standarized format (these processes are instances of a metamodel that we've defined). I want to implement a transformation that translates these models into BPMN 2.0 models. These processes may contain subprocesses and these subprocesses may contain other subprocesses, and so on. If the Activiti Designer supported hierarchical subprocesses my problem would be solved but I think that, at the moment, the only possibility is to use the CallActiviti primitive and split the output BPMN 2.0 model into several files. Am I right?

Thanks in advance.
