Get Process Documentation

krigu

Is it possible to get (via Java) the documentation of the process itself somehow?

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<definitions xmlns="http://www.omg.org/spec/BPMN/20100524/MODEL" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xmlns:activiti="http://activiti.org/bpmn" xmlns:bpmndi="http://www.omg.org/spec/BPMN/20100524/DI" xmlns:omgdc="http://www.omg.org/spec/DD/20100524/DC" xmlns:omgdi="http://www.omg.org/spec/DD/20100524/DI" typeLanguage="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema" expressionLanguage="http://www.w3.org/1999/XPath" targetNamespace="http://www.activiti.org/test">
  <process id="MyFirstProcess" name="MyFirstProcess">
    <documentation>This is the text i like to get</documentation>

Hi,

No this is not available via the Activiti API.
But it shouldn't be too hard to make it available. Can you create a JIRA?

Best regards,

krigu

Done.

I found out this feature got implemented in Version 5.10. Thanks a lot.

However, I tried to get the documentation with the new method but I always recieve null.

This is my unittest:

 @Rule<br> public ActivitiRule activitiRule = new ActivitiRule();<br><br> @Test<br> @Deployment(resources = { "diagrams/MyProcess.bpmn" })<br> public void descriptionTest() {<br><br>&nbsp; RuntimeService runtimeService = activitiRule.getRuntimeService();<br>&nbsp; runtimeService.startProcessInstanceByKey("MyProcess");<br><br>&nbsp; ProcessDefinition r =&nbsp; activitiRule<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; .getRepositoryService().createProcessDefinitionQuery().list()<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; .get(0);<br>&nbsp; <br>&nbsp; assertNotNull(r.getDescription()); // Always fails<br>&nbsp; <br> }

The bpmn looks like:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?><br><definitions xmlns="<a href="http://www.omg.org/spec/BPMN/20100524/MODEL" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">http://www.omg.org/spec/BPMN/20100524/MODEL</a>" xmlns:xsi="<a href="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance</a>" xmlns:activiti="<a href="http://activiti.org/bpmn" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">http://activiti.org/bpmn</a>" xmlns:bpmndi="<a href="http://www.omg.org/spec/BPMN/20100524/DI" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">http://www.omg.org/spec/BPMN/20100524/DI</a>" xmlns:smileysurprised:mgdc="<a href="http://www.omg.org/spec/DD/20100524/DC" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">http://www.omg.org/spec/DD/20100524/DC</a>" xmlns:smileysurprised:mgdi="<a href="http://www.omg.org/spec/DD/20100524/DI" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">http://www.omg.org/spec/DD/20100524/DI</a>" typeLanguage="<a href="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema</a>" expressionLanguage="<a href="http://www.w3.org/1999/XPath" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">http://www.w3.org/1999/XPath</a>" targetNamespace="<a href="http://www.ultrasoft.ch/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">http://www.ultrasoft.ch/</a>"><br>&nbsp; <process id="MyProcess" name="MyName"><br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; <documentation>My Documentation</documentation><br><!&ndash; and so on&hellip; &ndash;><br>

I get the correct name, namespace, etc, but the description is always null. Am I doing something wrong?

Could you attach your unit test + process to that jira issue and reopen it?

krigu

Could you attach your unit test + process to that jira issue and reopen it?

Done. I provided a small standalone testcase with maven. Hope it helps!

Thanks for your work!

jbarrez

Thanks. I'll look into it.

I have just come across this exact same issue with getDescription() returning null.

Do you have any idea when this issue is planned to be fixed? My code is relying on it working and we ship at the end of the month.

Any assistance, temporary work arounds would be appreciated.

Thanks
Marc

I believe Bernd fixed it on master: see https://jira.codehaus.org/browse/ACT-1020

marcthomas2012

Does anyone know when 5.11 will be made available?

One month from now, November 1st.
