How to Configure Activiti Engine In Config file

[himabindu_v]

Dear team,

Hi i need to configure Activiti Enginee in config file,as well as create tables in database.

Could you please give the support to me for configuring activiti in Config.grrovy file.

I added like this

activiti {
   processEngineName = "activiti-engine-default"
   jobExecutorActivate = false
   asyncExecutorActivate = false
   databaseType = "mysql"
   history = "audit"
   datasource = ""
}

environments {
   development {
      grails.logging.jul.usebridge = true
      activiti {
         processEngineName = "activiti-engine-dev"
         databaseSchemaUpdate = true // false, true or "create-drop"
      }

   }
   production {
      grails.logging.jul.usebridge = true
      activiti {
         processEngineName = "activiti-engine-dev"
         databaseSchemaUpdate = true // false, true or "create-drop"
      }
   }

}

but tables are not created in database.

For development, have you tried:    "create-drop"?

I tried but i have to generate models in my project.How can i do?

In the same way.. you need to make sure that in your project you have that set up.

same way i did, but tables are not created in database.

Could You please share any sample example link for us.

activiti {
   processEngineName = "activiti-engine-default"
   jobExecutorActivate = false
   asyncExecutorActivate = false
   databaseType = "mysql"
   history = "audit"
}

environments {
   development {
      grails.logging.jul.usebridge = true
      activiti {
         processEngineName = "activiti-engine-dev"
         databaseSchemaUpdate = "create-drop"// false, true or "create-drop"
      }

   }
   production {
      grails.logging.jul.usebridge = true
      activiti {
         processEngineName = "activiti-engine-dev"
         databaseSchemaUpdate = "create-drop" // false, true or "create-drop"
      }
   }

}

So for some reason your  development profile is not being picked up?

1)     Integrating Activiti in Grails:

BuildConfig.groovy

    repositories {

       //maven of activiti repository

mavenRepo name: "Activiti", root: "https://maven.alfresco.com/nexus/content/groups/public"

    }

    dependencies {

        runtime 'mysql:mysql-connector-java:5.1.29'

        test "org.grails:grails-datastore-test-support:1.0.2-grails-2.4"

       //add this line for downloading activiti related jars from repository

        compile ('org.activiti:activiti-engine:5.20.0') {

             excludes 'livetribe-jsr223', 'spring-beans'

        }

        runtime ('org.activiti:activiti-spring:5.20.0') {

excludes 'spring-context', 'spring-jdbc', 'spring-orm', 'slf4j-log4j12', 'commons-dbcp'

        }

    }

}

Configuring ProcessEngineConfiguration in Grails:

In resources.groovy add this Code

resources.groovy:

import org.activiti.spring.SpringProcessEngineConfiguration

import org.hibernate.SessionFactory;

import org.springframework.orm.hibernate3.HibernateTransactionManager

// Place your Spring DSL code here

beans = {

      processEngineConfiguration(org.activiti.spring.SpringProcessEngineConfiguration) {

databaseType = "mysql" // (u have to specify which database did u used in your application)

            databaseSchemaUpdate = true // create-drop, true, false

            dataSource = ref("dataSource")

            transactionManager = ref("transactionManager")

            history = "audit";

            asyncExecutorActivate = false;

            jobExecutorActivate = false;

      }

      processEngine(org.activiti.spring.ProcessEngineFactoryBean) {

            processEngineConfiguration = ref("processEngineConfiguration")

      }

      runtimeService(processEngine:"getRuntimeService")

    repositoryService(processEngine:"getRepositoryService")

      taskService(processEngine:"getTaskService")

      managementService(processEngine:"getManagementService")

      identityService(processEngine:"getIdentityService")

      historyService(processEngine:"getHistoryService")

    formService(processEngine:"getFormService")

      baseController(com.nipun.BaseController) {

            repositoryService = ref("repositoryService")

            runtimeService = ref("runtimeService")

            taskService = ref("taskService")

            identityService = ref("identityService")

            formService = ref("formService")

      }

}
