Chapter 2. Creating a business application

Procedure

1. Enter the following URL in a web browser:

   https://start.jbpm.org

2. Click Configure your business application.
3. Click Business Automation and click Next.
4. Enter a package and application name.

5. Select Enterprise 7.8 from the Version menu and click Next.

   Note

   You must select Enterprise 7.8 to create a Red Hat Process Automation Manager business application.

6. Select the project types that you want to include in your project. You can include more than one project type.

   • Business Assets: Contains business processes, rules, and forms and are easily imported into Business Central. Select Dynamic Assets instead if you want to add adaptive and dynamic assets such as cases.
   • Data Model: Provides common data structures that are shared between the service projects and business assets projects. This enables proper encapsulation, promotes reuse, and reduces shortcuts. Each service project can expose its own public data model.
   • Service: Includes business logic that operates your business.

7. Click Generate business application.

   The <business-application>.zip file downloads, where <business-application> is the name that you entered in the Application Name box.

8. Unzip the <business-application>.zip file.
9. Open the <business-application>/business-application-service/src/main/docker/settings.xml file in a text editor.

10. Add the following repository to the repositories element:

    <repository>
      <id>jboss-enterprise-repository-group</id>
      <name>Red Hat JBoss Enterprise Maven Repository</name>
      <url>https://maven.repository.redhat.com/ga/</url>
      <layout>default</layout>
      <releases>
        <updatePolicy>never</updatePolicy>
      </releases>
      <snapshots>
        <updatePolicy>daily</updatePolicy>
      </snapshots>
    </repository>

11. Add the following plug-in repository to the pluginRepositories element:

    <pluginRepository>
      <id>jboss-enterprise-repository-group</id>
      <name>Red Hat JBoss Enterprise Maven Repository</name>
      <url>https://maven.repository.redhat.com/ga/</url>
      <layout>default</layout>
      <releases>
        <updatePolicy>never</updatePolicy>
      </releases>
      <snapshots>
        <updatePolicy>daily</updatePolicy>
      </snapshots>
    </pluginRepository>

    Doing this adds the productized Maven repository to your business application.
