Activiti 5.3：子流程（subProcess）

Activiti 5.3提供了子流程的实现，包括两种基于子流程的实现：

一种是内嵌子流程：子流程元素<subProcess>内嵌在主流程元素<process>之内，只能在该流程中使用该子流程，外部是无法访问到的。这种子流程一般作为局部通用逻辑处理，或者因为特定业务需要，使得比较复杂的单个主流程设计清晰直观；

另一种是调用子流程：首先实现一个流程，在另一个流程中可以调用该流程，通常可以定义一些通用的流程作为这种调用子流程，供其他多个流程定义复用。这种子流程使用<callActivity>元素来进行调用，间接地嵌入到主流程中，用起来比较方便。

 

内嵌子流程

实现的基于内嵌子流程的流程，示例如图所示：

 

对应的流程定义文件SubProcessTest.MySubprocess.bpmn20.xml，内容如下所示：

流程定义中，实现了3个TaskListener，对应的代码分别如下所示：

 package org.shirdrn.workflow.activiti.subprocess;

 import java.util.HashMap;
 import java.util.logging.Logger;

 import org.activiti.engine.delegate.DelegateTask;
 import org.activiti.engine.impl.pvm.delegate.TaskListener;

 public class CheckBankTask implements TaskListener {

     private final Logger log = Logger.getLogger(CheckBankTask.class.getName());

     @SuppressWarnings("unchecked")
     public void notify(DelegateTask delegateTask) {
         log.info("i am CheckBankTask.");
         System.out.println("in : " + delegateTask.getVariables());
         ((HashMap<String, Object>)delegateTask.getVariables().get("in")).put("next", "CheckBankTask");
         ((HashMap<String, Object>)delegateTask.getVariables().get("out")).put("reponse", "subprocess:CheckBankTask->CheckMerchantTask");
     }
 }

 package org.shirdrn.workflow.activiti.subprocess;

 import java.util.HashMap;

 public class CheckMerchantTask implements TaskListener {

     private final Logger log = Logger.getLogger(CheckMerchantTask.class.getName());

     @SuppressWarnings("unchecked")
     public void notify(DelegateTask delegateTask) {
         log.info("i am CheckMerchantTask.");
         System.out.println("in : " + delegateTask.getVariables());
         ((HashMap<String, Object>)delegateTask.getVariables().get("in")).put("previous", "CheckMerchantTask");
     }
 }

 package org.shirdrn.workflow.activiti.subprocess;

 import java.util.Map;

 public class CollectMessageTask implements TaskListener {

     private final Logger log = Logger.getLogger(CollectMessageTask.class.getName());

     @SuppressWarnings("unchecked")
     public void notify(DelegateTask delegateTask) {
         log.info("i am CollectMessageTask.");
         System.out.println("out : " + (Map<String, Object>)delegateTask.getVariables().get("out"));
         System.out.println("all : " + delegateTask.getVariables());
     }
 }

测试用例，代码如下所示：

 package org.shirdrn.workflow.activiti.subprocess;

 import java.util.HashMap;
 import java.util.List;
 import java.util.Map;

 import org.activiti.engine.repository.Deployment;
 import org.activiti.engine.runtime.ProcessInstance;
 import org.activiti.engine.task.Task;
 import org.shirdrn.workflow.activiti.AbstractTest;

 /**
  * @author shirdrn
  */
 public class MySubProcessTest extends AbstractTest {

     @Override
     protected void initialize() throws Exception {
         Deployment deployment = repositoryService
         .createDeployment()
         .addClasspathResource(
                 "diagrams/SubProcessTest.MySubprocess.bpmn20.xml")
         .deploy();
         deploymentId = deployment.getId();
     }

     @Override
     protected void destroy() throws Exception {
         repositoryService.deleteDeployment(deploymentId, true);
     }

     public void testSubProcess() {
         // prepare data packet
         Map<String, Object> variables = new HashMap<String, Object>();
         Map<String, Object> subVariables = new HashMap<String, Object>();
         variables.put("maxTransCount", 1000000);
         variables.put("merchant", new Merchant("ICBC"));
         variables.put("protocol", "UM32");
         variables.put("repository", "10.10.38.99:/home/shirdrn/repository");
         variables.put("in", subVariables);
         variables.put("out", new HashMap<String, Object>());

         // start process instance
         ProcessInstance pi = runtimeService.startProcessInstanceByKey("MySubprocess", variables);

         // enter subprocess
         List<Task> tasks = taskService.createTaskQuery().processInstanceId(pi.getId()).orderByTaskName().asc().list();
         assertEquals(2, tasks.size());

         for(Task task : tasks) {
             taskService.complete(task.getId());
         }

         // leave subprocess
         Task collectTask = taskService.createTaskQuery().processInstanceId(pi.getId()).singleResult();
         assertEquals("Collect message", collectTask.getName());

         Map<String, Object> taskVariables = new HashMap<String, Object>();
         taskVariables.put("att", "anything you need");
         taskService.setVariable(collectTask.getId(), "oper", "shirdrn");
         taskService.complete(collectTask.getId(), taskVariables);
     }

 }

运行结果信息，如下所示：

 2011-3-24 17:36:36 org.shirdrn.workflow.activiti.subprocess.CheckBankTask notify
 信息: i am CheckBankTask.
 in : {protocol=UM32, repository=10.10.38.99:/home/shirdrn/repository, merchant=Merchant[ICBC], maxTransCount=1000000, in={}, out={}}

调用子流程

实现的子流程，示例如图所示：

对应的流程定义文件Subprocess.Check.bpmn20.xml，如下所示：

 <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
 <definitions xmlns="http://www.omg.org/spec/BPMN/20100524/MODEL" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xmlns:activiti="http://activiti.org/bpmn" xmlns:bpmndi="http://www.omg.org/spec/BPMN/20100524/DI" xmlns:omgdc="http://www.omg.org/spec/DD/20100524/DC" xmlns:omgdi="http://www.omg.org/spec/DD/20100524/DI" typeLanguage="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema" expressionLanguage="http://www.w3.org/1999/XPath" targetNamespace="http://www.activiti.org/test">
   <process id="CheckSubprocess" name="CheckSubprocess">
     <startEvent id="startevent4" name="Start"></startEvent>
     <serviceTask id="servicetask4" name="Check User" activiti:class="org.shirdrn.workflow.activiti.subprocess.BusinessCheck"></serviceTask>
     <endEvent id="endevent4" name="End"></endEvent>
     <sequenceFlow id="flow7" name="" sourceRef="startevent4" targetRef="servicetask4"></sequenceFlow>
     <sequenceFlow id="flow8" name="" sourceRef="servicetask4" targetRef="endevent4"></sequenceFlow>
   </process>
 </definitions>

上面的流程定义，和通常定义流程的方式是相同的。流程中，对应的JavaDelegate的实现类，代码如下所示：

 package org.shirdrn.workflow.activiti.subprocess;

 import java.util.logging.Logger;

 import org.activiti.engine.delegate.DelegateExecution;
 import org.activiti.engine.delegate.JavaDelegate;

 public class BusinessCheck implements JavaDelegate {

     private static final Logger log = Logger.getLogger(BusinessCheck.class.getName());

     @Override
     public void execute(DelegateExecution execution) throws Exception {
         // varOutFromMainprocess<->varInSubprocess
         String varInSubprocess = (String)execution.getVariable("varInSubprocess");
         log.info("in subprocess get(varInSubprocess): " + varInSubprocess);

         log.info("variavles=" + execution.getVariables());
         execution.setVariable("s:bc", "Subprocess:BusinessCheck");
         log.info("I am BusinessCheck in subprocess.");

         execution.setVariable("varInSubprocess", "BBBB");
         log.info("in subprocess set(varInSubprocess): " + varInSubprocess);
     }
 }

该BusinessCheck类简单用来校验用户数据。

下面看一下主流程，如图所示：

上面的callSubprocess结点对应的就是流程定义中的<callActivity>元素，调用了外部流程。对应的流程定义文件Subprocess.Mainprocess.bpmn20.xml，如下所示：

 <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
 <definitions xmlns="http://www.omg.org/spec/BPMN/20100524/MODEL"
     xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xmlns:activiti="http://activiti.org/bpmn"
     xmlns:bpmndi="http://www.omg.org/spec/BPMN/20100524/DI" xmlns:omgdc="http://www.omg.org/spec/DD/20100524/DC"
     xmlns:omgdi="http://www.omg.org/spec/DD/20100524/DI" typeLanguage="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema"
     expressionLanguage="http://www.w3.org/1999/XPath" targetNamespace="http://www.activiti.org/test">
     <process id="Mainprocess" name="Main Process">
         <startEvent id="startevent1" name="Start"></startEvent>
         <sequenceFlow id="flow1" name="" sourceRef="startevent1" targetRef="servicetask1"></sequenceFlow>
         <serviceTask id="servicetask1" name="System Initialization" activiti:class="org.shirdrn.workflow.activiti.subprocess.Initialization"></serviceTask>
         <sequenceFlow id="flow2" name="" sourceRef="servicetask1" targetRef="callSubprocess"></sequenceFlow>
         <callActivity id="callSubprocess" calledElement="CheckSubprocess" >
           <extensionElements>
                   <activiti:in source="varOutFromMainprocess" target="varInSubprocess" />
                   <activiti:out source="varInSubprocess" target="varOutFromSubprocess" />
           </extensionElements>
         </callActivity>
         <sequenceFlow id="flow3" name="" sourceRef="callSubprocess" targetRef="servicetask2"></sequenceFlow>
         <serviceTask id="servicetask2" name="Do Transaction" activiti:class="org.shirdrn.workflow.activiti.subprocess.DoTransaction"></serviceTask>
         <sequenceFlow id="flow4" name="" sourceRef="servicetask2" targetRef="endevent1"></sequenceFlow>
         <endEvent id="endevent1" name="End"></endEvent>
     </process>
 </definitions>

需要说明的是，对于主流程与子流程之间进行数据交换，需要在<callActivity>元素中进行配置，通过执行“传入”、“传出”变量的方式来进行。片段如下所示：

 <callActivity id="callSubprocess" calledElement="CheckSubprocess" >
   <extensionElements>
           <activiti:in source="varOutFromMainprocess" target="varInSubprocess" />
           <activiti:out source="varInSubprocess" target="varOutFromSubprocess" />
   </extensionElements>
 </callActivity>

我们可以通过在主流程中设置一个变量为varOutFromMainprocess，并指定对应的输入数据，根据流程定义，会将变量varOutFromMainprocess对应的值，传递给子流程中的变量varInSubprocess，只需要在子流程中获取变量varInSubprocess的值即可。从子流程中传出数据的道理是类似的。上面实现了2个JavaDelegate处理类，代码分别如下所示：

 package org.shirdrn.workflow.activiti.subprocess;

 import java.util.logging.Logger;

 public class Initialization implements JavaDelegate {

     private static final Logger log = Logger.getLogger(Initialization.class.getName());

     @Override
     public void execute(DelegateExecution execution) throws Exception {
         log.info("variavles=" + execution.getVariables());
         execution.setVariable("m:i", "Mainprocess:Initialization");
         log.info("I am Initialization in mainprocess.");

         execution.setVariable("varOutFromMainprocess", "AAAA");
         log.info("in mainprocess set(varOutFromMainprocess): " + execution.getVariable("varOutFromMainprocess"));
     }
 }

 package org.shirdrn.workflow.activiti.subprocess;

 import java.util.logging.Logger;

 public class DoTransaction implements JavaDelegate {

     private static final Logger log = Logger.getLogger(DoTransaction.class.getName());

     @Override
     public void execute(DelegateExecution execution) throws Exception {
         // varInSubprocess<->varOutFromSubprocess
         String varOutFromSubprocess = (String)execution.getVariable("varOutFromSubprocess");
         log.info("in mainprocess get(varOutFromSubprocess): " + varOutFromSubprocess);

         log.info("variavles=" + execution.getVariables());
         execution.setVariable("m:dt", "Mainprocess:DoTransaction");
         log.info("I am DoTransaction in mainprocess.");
     }
 }

实现的测试用例，代码如下所示：

 

 package org.shirdrn.workflow.activiti.subprocess;

 import java.util.HashMap;
 import java.util.Map;

 import org.activiti.engine.repository.Deployment;
 import org.activiti.engine.runtime.ProcessInstance;
 import org.shirdrn.workflow.activiti.AbstractTest;

 /**

  */
 public class MainprocessTest extends AbstractTest {

     @Override
     protected void initialize() throws Exception {
         Deployment deployment = repositoryService
         .createDeployment()
         .addClasspathResource(
                 "diagrams/Subprocess.Check.bpmn20.xml")
         .deploy();
         deploymentIdList.add(deployment.getId());

         deployment = repositoryService
         .createDeployment()
         .addClasspathResource(
                 "diagrams/Subprocess.Mainprocess.bpmn20.xml")
         .deploy();
         deploymentIdList.add(deployment.getId());
     }

     @Override
     protected void destroy() throws Exception {
         for(String deployment : deploymentIdList) {
             repositoryService.deleteDeployment(deployment, true);
         }
     }

     public void testSubProcess() {
         // prepare data packet
         Map<String, Object> variables = new HashMap<String, Object>();
         Map<String, Object> subVariables = new HashMap<String, Object>();
         variables.put("protocol", "UM32");
         variables.put("repository", "10.10.38.99:/home/shirdrn/repository");
         variables.put("in", subVariables);
         variables.put("out", new HashMap<String, Object>());

         // start process instance
         ProcessInstance pi = runtimeService.startProcessInstanceByKey("Mainprocess", variables);

         assertEquals(true, pi.isEnded());
     }

 }
