An Application Framework Based on JBPM Workflow Engine

Abstract

JBPM (Java Business Process Management) is a completely-defined, rich-functional workflow engine. However, JBPM is born with some defects. It does not support returning tasks, counter signatures or repeated tasks. Besides, it does not provide a complete application framework, so that it can’t be used directly. This paper analyzes the problems JBPM encounters and puts forward a more applicable application framework design based on JBPM workflow engine. The framework provides business logic handling framework, data saving, data validating, and so on. Meanwhile the framework provides a basic solution for returning tasks, random jumps and counter signatures. The framework is well applied in the background project as its main architecture.
