Customize the Camunda Webapps

This project shows how to customize the Camunda Webapps when using spring-boot. It works by unpacking the original webjar archive and replace interesting parts. In the project that uses the newly created webjar, you have to make sure that the original webjar is not included anymore.

It customizes:

How to use it?

Customize

  • Replace the files in springboot-customized-webapp-webjar/artwork with your files
  • Adjust the properties in the top section of springboot-customized-webapp-webjar/pom.xml
  • Possibly addionally adjust the contents of springboot-customized-webapp-webjar/src/main/resources/META-INF/resources/webjars/camunda/app/{tasklist|cockpit|admin}/{styles|scripts}/
  • Run
 cd springboot-customized-webapp-webjar
 mvn clean install

Test

Run

 cd springboot-customized-webapp-example
 mvn clean spring-boot:run

Now browse to http://localhost:8080/app/tasklist/default/ and see the customizes tasklist.

Spring Boot Application using Camunda.

This project demonstrates how to configure two datasources in a Camunda Springboot application with two transaction managers.

How to use it?

  1. Spin up a database (Postgres or MySQL) docker-compose up -d

  2. For MySQL change the according ~DataSourceConfig.java files

  3. restart the container docker-compose restart

  4. go to localhost:8088/ and log into the database with the credentials provided by docker-compose.yml (all fields: postgres)

  5. create a database camunda and another domaindata

  6. start the application

  7. send a POST request to localhost:8080/rest/order to create a new Order

    { "orderAmount": 500, "orderNumber": "sw-26", "orderFail": false, "processFail": false, "customer": { "address": { "street": "MyStreet 1", "zipCode": "12345", "city": "Berlin" }, "firstName": "Paul", "lastName": "Zimmer" } }

  8. You can pass whether orderFail or processFail to force an exception. That leads usually to inconsistent states after executing the OrderController. To solve that one can leverage XATransactions (see branch XA) or provide eventual consistency by implementing the SAGA pattern ==> provide compensation activities. The latter approach is the most recommended one.

Maven Spring Boot Plugin

  1. Build and deploy the process application using:
mvn clean package spring-boot:run

Your Java IDE

  1. Run the project as a Java application in your IDE using CamundaApplication as the main class.

Run and Inspect with Tasklist and Cockpit

Once you deployed the application you can run it using Camunda Tasklist and inspect it using Camunda Cockpit.

Environment Restrictions

Built and tested against Camunda BPM version 7.11.0.
