Class ProcessConnector

java.lang.Object
  org.mule.providers.AbstractConnector
      org.mule.providers.bpm.ProcessConnector

All Implemented Interfaces:

Disposable, EventListener, ExceptionListener, Initialisable, MessageService, UMOConnectable, UMOConnector, WorkListener

public class ProcessConnector

extends AbstractConnector

implements MessageService

The BPM provider allows Mule events to initiate and/or advance processes in an external or embedded Business Process Management System (BPMS). It also allows executing processes to generate Mule events.

Field Detail

bpms

protected BPMS bpms

The underlying BPMS

bpmsClass

protected String bpmsClass

If the BPMS instance itself is not provided, it will be instantiated from this class (using the default constructor).

processIdField

protected String processIdField

This field will be used to correlate messages with processes.

allowGlobalReceiver

protected boolean allowGlobalReceiver

The global receiver allows an endpoint of type "bpm://*" to receive any incoming message to the BPMS, regardless of the process. If this is false, the process name must be specified for each endpoint, e.g. "bpm://MyProcess" will only receive messages for the process "MyProcess".

allowGlobalDispatcher

protected boolean allowGlobalDispatcher

If false, any message generated by the process is routed from the component on which it is received. If true, a process can send messages to any endpoint on any component.

Method Detail

getProtocol

public String getProtocol()

Specified by:

getProtocol in interface UMOConnector

Returns:

the primary protocol name for endpoints of this connector

doInitialise

protected void doInitialise()
                     throws InitialisationException

Specified by:

doInitialise in class AbstractConnector

Throws:

InitialisationException

doDispose

protected void doDispose()

Description copied from class: AbstractConnector

Template method to perform any work when destroying the connectoe

Specified by:

doDispose in class AbstractConnector

doConnect

protected void doConnect()
                  throws Exception

Description copied from class: AbstractConnector

Template method where any connections should be made for the connector

Specified by:

doConnect in class AbstractConnector

Throws:

Exception

doDisconnect

protected void doDisconnect()
                     throws Exception

Description copied from class: AbstractConnector

Template method where any connected resources used by the connector should be disconnected

Specified by:

doDisconnect in class AbstractConnector

Throws:

Exception

doStart

protected void doStart()
                throws UMOException

Description copied from class: AbstractConnector

Template method to perform any work when starting the connectoe

Specified by:

doStart in class AbstractConnector

public ProcessMessageReceiver lookupReceiver(String processName,
                                             Object processId)

This method looks for a receiver based on the process name and ID. It searches iteratively from the narrowest scope (match process name and ID) to the widest scope (match neither - global receiver) possible.

Returns:

ProcessMessageReceiver or null if no match is found

toUrl
