How to build and deploy process from Eclipse to jbpm6 console? When I right click on JBPM6 project or BPMN process definition, there is no option of deploying.
Is there an ant script to generate deployable process archive from an eclipse jbpm6 project?
When I ask about Guvnor, people say its removed from Jbpm 6. Where do my deployment go then?
Is there a documentation about the structure of deployment file? Can I deploy my own web services/rest services/EJBs along with JBPM process?
Camunda has a very well documented process deployment model. I am expecting similar model from JBPM6, but there is very little documentation.

There was a huge change in technology in the project for the 6 release, so you need to wait until the final community version is out. Now guvnor was replaced by a different more up to date repository where now all your deployments go. The structure of a deployable artifact is a regular maven project, which make your life easier when you need to deal with dependencies between packages.

I'm a newbie to J2ee though not a complete newbie. I'm unable to find a good resource (book or video) that could help me understand what exactly happens when we build, deploy and publish. I have a fair idea though. So my questions are -
Is there a good resource out there that can help me understand these concepts? I've read some books on struts and servlets/jsp but they don't delve into eclipse and how/what it does. The eclipse documentation has been helpful but only slightly.
When we build an application the the java files are converted into the class files and stored in the java build path. What else happens during build? Many people use the term 'library dependencies', what does this mean? Also, when people refer to dependencies do they refer to files like xml and tld?
At what stage (build or run on server) does the container check to see if the dependencies are alright? Say for instance, if the servlet class/name in the web.xml file.
Is it appropriate to say that build is basically compilation while deploying the project and running it is the same as executing it?
Familiarity with the servlet specification would help you (perhaps some older version would be quicker to read like 2.4), but general understanding of what you build and how you do it in Eclipse is what you are after.
The way I see it is that during the build Eclipse creates almost complete version of WAR (or some other archive, if you use EJBs for instance) and by publishing you deploy it to some server (this is practically the same thing although Eclipse might just configure the server to use exploded WAR that it just prepared instead of copying it to some "deploy" dir that you are supposed to do if you work without an IDE).
If you configure your project well, the build can only mean compilation, but if you have more ceremony in it, then some source generation and moving files around might happen too.
To address your second question, library dependencies can be files that reside in WEB-INF/lib for instance. Read the spec to know what should be there and what should not. Eclipse tries to copy there all defined dependencies of your project.
I've created a process definition in jBPM Project in Eclipse and now I'd like to deploy this definition to jbpm-console on remote database.
I found (here:https://developer.jboss.org/thread/234899) two ways to deploy a process, but it's not what I want:
- use archetype to create maven project for kjar, then simple mvn clean install and use Deployments view in jbpm console to deploy it
- push your maven project into jbpm console git repository and build and deploy it from within console - there is GIT integration screen cast on jbpm installer chapter in docs that might be useful
Is there a possibility to do this from API? I mean by using some methods.
If I understand your question well, you are looking for some remote API call which allows you to upload your process definitions into the jBPM Console. Am I right?
Unfortunately, there is not such option. The remote API only provides methods to manipulate with the resources that are already on the server. And you can get your resources there using one of those two methods you have mentioned.
However, for process definitions there is also a third option which is more user-friendly but there is no easy way how to automate it. You can just create a new business process directly using the web interface of jBPM Console and upload your process definition in jBPM Designer.
I am trying to figure out what's the best process to implement for build & deployment for coldfusion project.
I am much more familiar with the regular java stack: some back-end framework (Spring, Struts, etc), bunch of JSP files, then use maven to compile and bundle everything to a .war file that I simply deploy (copy) over to a tomcat webapp directory
Are cfm files practically same as jsp? What are the similarities & differences between Java vs Coldfusion build/deploy process?
The resources I found so far make it sound like to just copy & paste the physical files, which doesn't sound quite right.
The thread here Best Practices for Code/Web Application Deployment? - goes on the generic deployment process, which we already have implemented. We have code repository and maven to manage our build & deployment process, can coldfusion work straight out of the box with the same set up as regular Java/war projects?
A thread in Adobe forum does not give much insights either: Deploying ColdFusion 8 project via EAR/WAR file, plus it talks about EAR rather than WAR.
This is an old link from 2007: build tools: maven and coldfusion seem to indicate maven is not straight out of the box solution, also seems like Coldfusion has no need for dependency management that maven is so useful for?
Can someone help point me to the right direction for build & deployment of coldfusion projects with the following stack:
Code repository, doesn't matter much: Git, svn
Maven build
Deploy project as war into Tomcat7 (not built in)
MySQL db connector
and Lastly - how would the solution be different between CF8 vs CF10? Looks to me CF8 may be worse as it doesn't officially support Tomcat, whereas CF10 runs on modified version of Tomcat?
Thanks!
When it comes to deploying CFML out the box then you really just have to copy and paste the file into your web server. In your case if you are using git just pull it from your repository. You don't have to do anything other then that. However, in some cases you may need to clear your CFML Cache if you don't see the changes immediately. This is my personal process:
Make changes on local machine running a CFML Development environment.
Commit and Push changes to git repository.
Pull changes to Production Server
Clear cache if needed.
It really is simple as that as long as your code makes it that simple.
Answer 1:
I have worked on some substantial apps were the process was zip up all the files, send them to a deployment team and they will unzip at the appropriate location.
Answer 2:
I suspect you are looking for something like CAR files. http://help.adobe.com/en_US/ColdFusion/10.0/Admin/WSc3ff6d0ea77859461172e0811cbf364104-7fd3.html
From past 90 hours I am trying to know how to use Maven in my web project, generate a war file and deploy it into my JBoss 4.2 Server.
I am not getting.
I am reading all kinds of blogs, googling almost all time, trying out all kinds of way to build a dynamic web project with maven, but trying out different methods make a simple thing more complex.
Few examples tell me how to run, few tell me to change the folder structure, few tell me transfer the contents of web content but nothing is matching my requirements. In some of the examples war file is getting generated, but of some big name, and it does not contain the jars inside. Uff.
I know maven is easy and makes our lives better but learning it for the first time makes it complex.
My requirement is simple.
1) Build a Dynamic web project in eclipse indigo. (Preferably in JAVA perspective )
2) Enable Maven dependencies, in eclipse.
3) Update pom.xml to add dependencies.
4) Finish the web application i want to do by writing classes, html pages, deployment descriptors.
5) Build the war file using maven "IN ECLIPSE ONLY". (the WAR file must have user specific name and not some name like "V1- Snapshot dash dash dash")
6) Deploy my war file in jboss 4.2 server deployment location. (Preferably from eclipse )
7) Run my localhost server and my application from the browser.
And Done.
By spending time on it I am understanding how beautiful is maven, but I am not able to achieve what I want.
Please help me by giving me a detailed procedure on how to use maven to meet my requirements above.
Fist I would suggest to use the newest Eclipse (Juno) with Maven support (m2e and wtp-m2e).
The first step is to define your pom with the appropriate dependencies and the correct packaging type which is in your case war.
If you really need a different naming you should leave Maven, cause maven makes assumptions about the naming of your artifacts which usually isn't a problem. The default version patterns as 1.0.0-SNAPSHOT etc.
If you wan't to deploy the war into JBoss there exist a number of possibilites to do such things and if you like to run your application locally it sounds you wan't to do some kind of testing (integration testing) which is supported by Maven (see maven-failsafe-plugin).
Furthermore you must learn if you like to use Maven to understand that not Eclipse is anymore the leader of the project configuration. This job has been moved to Maven or in other words into the pom file. If you like to use the project in Eclipse you need to import this project into Eclipse.
Apart from the above i would suggest to go to a Maven training to lear all that stuff which is more effective than learning it yourself.
I am deploying my eclipse rcp product into some folder say C:\deploy\eclipse.
But
Here i am facing a problem,while i was exporting to the same location it says export failed,
Since my project is in development stage each time i do changes in the code,i need to deploy to perform unit testing its pretty time consuming.All that i want to achieve is just override the same deployed location, i don't know if it is possible? The current approach was just go and delete the currently deployed folder and then export again, this is odd i guess, can someone drive me in a better approach
I suggest to setup a headless build which means that you're able to trigger a build of your RCP application from the commandline. Once you've established a headless build you can write some sort of batch file which for example cleans up the deployment directory before the build.
You can integrate this batch file in your Eclipse IDE via External Tools.
Here is a tutorial on how to setup a headless build.
