Hello,

can I write my own validating diagram class without using my own export marshaller? Because I want define rules for the diagrams, but I want use the standard BPMN export marshaller to export the diagrams.

Now my own validator extension only works if I write also an export marshaller with this code:

final boolean validDiagram = invokeValidator(IntellixProcessValidator.VALIDATOR_ID, diagram, monitor);
if (!validDiagram) {
        addProblemToDiagram(diagram, "Marshalling to " + getFormatName()
                + " format was skipped because validation of the diagram failed.", null);
} else {
        InputStream stream = getInputStreamForDiagram(diagram);
        saveResource(getRelativeURIForDiagram(diagram, FILENAME_PATTERN), stream, monitor);
}
‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍

The validateDiagram method of the validator has this code:

public boolean validateDiagram(Diagram diagram, IProgressMonitor monitor) {
        boolean valid = false;

        clearMarkers(getResource(diagram.eResource().getURI()));
        
        monitor.beginTask("Activiti Intellix Validation", 1);

        // Check correctness of the diagram

        return valid;
    }
‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍

Best regards,

Christian,

at the moment, you cannot. This is subject to implementation of http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/ACT-523, which to be honest, has not been high on my priority list. I've assigned the issue to myself and will look into it soon.
