jBPM Process & Task Dashboard

jBPM Dashboard Builder

Dashboard Builder is a web application for the visual composition of dashboards. A dashboard is composed by a set of business indicators (aka Key Performance Indicators) which are feed from data coming from heterogeneous sources of information like databases or CSV files.

The jBPM Dashboard is a customization of the Dashboard Builder project. This customization has the following goals in mind:

• To provide users with a full featured dashboard with a bunch of key performance indicators built on top of the jBPM history log.
• To replace the whole Dashbuilder's look&feel with jBPM's branding.
• To offer a tight integration between Dashbuilder and jBPM at the data connectivity layer.

Building the project

If you want to build the project please, proceed as indicated:

1. Prerequisites:

This guide assumes you have Java JDK 1.6 (set as JAVA_HOME), and Maven 3.0.4+ (set as MAVEN_HOME) in your system. The java and mvn commands must be added to the executable's path as well.

2. Open a terminal window, go to the project root directory and type the following command:

    $ mvn clean install -Dfull -DskipTests
   

This command compiles, builds and runs the application. It'll last a few minutes (but only for the first time) because the maven build process needs to download a lot of third-party libraries.

JBoss Application Server

To deploy the jBPM dashboard to WildFly 8, first see "Building the project", then proceed as indicated:

1. Go to the jbpm-dashboard-distributions/target directory and get the jbpm-dashbuilder-wildfly8.war

2. Then take a look at the following guide.
