Standalone activiti modeler/editor

  • I have made good progress with respect to extracting the activiti-modeler  editor component out of activiti framework codebase.
  • I am able to host it as part of my sample web application.
  • I have taken the latest activiti-modeler component which is 5.17.0-SNAPSHOT. I built it locally after forking out the code base from GitHub.
  • The activiti-modeler editor requires valid model id to open the editor in the form of request parameter(/service/editor?id=<model-id>). It is done in that way. As a result, even activiti-explorer loads a demo-model definition by default to provide base linking between activiti-explorer and activiti-modeler. Model ID is bit different from BPMN process definition. Seems like there is bit of difference in representation. This is one area of investigation.
  • Activiti-modeler has REST layer written using Spring MVC and Spring REST modules.
  • Activiti-modeler has certain parts which are extracted from acitiviti-explorer-web-2 maven module.
  • I have tweaked and created REST resource which will load the sample model definition and proceed with loading the activiti modeler editor. I have attached below snapshot when the sample web application was running locally,
