Building Graphical Process Monitor
Hi All,
Is there an API in ODE which can be used by client applications to render a
graphical view of the process instance?
Cheers
Anup

Not directly, as Ode is oblivious to the graphical representation of
processes. You can use Ode's process management APIs to query the process
state, and from there project this information onto a graphical model (e.g.
BPEL tree view, BPMN graph view, etc.)

Hi Anup,
sorry, the impl it not (yet) publicly available. The OModel is located
in bpel-obj/org.apache.ode.bpel.o.*
It's basically the runtime model and is the result of the compilation
of a BPEL process. It introduces some abstractions that make
navigation easier (like converting <receive> activities to
<pick>/<onMessage>).
hth,
Tammo

Thanks Tammo...
Do you have a link to this impl?
Thanks

Tammo,
sorry can i have a link / doc if any to this impl.
what is OModel and where can i learn more about it?
Thanks

That sounds like cool stuff! Do you have a link?
FWIW, that's essentially the approach that others have taken in
building dashboards and/or GUIs. Once upon a time, there was a
NetBeans debugger that was built on top of the OModel and BpelEvent
infrastructure, and it worked pretty well. The source might actually
be out there somewhere, but it is based on PXE from the 2005 timeframe.

Hi Anup,
a student has done such a prototype as her diploma thesis. She has
uses the OModel (the object model prefixed with O) as a tree
representation of the BPEL graph and has used JGraphs to visualize it.
The BPEL events have been sent using a modified JMSEventListener (see
extensions directory in trunk) to the monitoring tool. That works
basically pretty fine.
HTH,
Tammo
