在5.12版本中把各个模块进行了大幅度的划分,值得一提的就是activiti-bpmn-的几个模块(activiti-bpmn-converter、activiti-bpmn-layout、activiti-bpmn-model)。
Activiti团队核心成员frederikheremans创建了activiti-dynamic-process项目,该项目利用以上的几个模块演示了如何动态创建流程并部署运行,这几个步骤仅仅用了100行代码(还可以继续精简,但是这不是重点,重点在于体现Activiti的灵活性)。

部署后获取流程图如下所示:
按照从代码清单中的7步依次分析:
利用这个Demo可以在不借助可视化流程设计器的情况下动态设计流程,进一步提升了应用的灵活性;当然如果你熟悉了以上的几个模块也可以自己扩展实现特定功能,例如Activiti中的Email Task就是一个特殊的活动类型,它继承于Service Task,所以你也可以参考它做自己的实现。
