Getting started: workspace and .bos file

Overview

This repository provides the solution for Bonita getting started.

Compatibility

This example has been built with Bonita 2023.2 Community Edition.

It is compatible with all Bonita editions (Community and Enterprise). It should remain compatible with any future releases.

Artifacts provided

You can get the .bos file from the release section on GitHub. This .bos file includes:

• The process diagram with the process definition
• The Business Data Model (BDM)
• Instantiation and step forms
• Application page
• An Application descriptor
• A Timeline custom widget

Importing the solution in Studio

To import the solution in Bonita Studio:

• Go to File > Import > BOS archive... Studio menu
• Click on Browse... button and select claims-management.bos file
• Click on Import button

WARNING: When you import claims-management.bos in your Studio, if some artifacts (BDM, diagrams...) with identical names already exsit, Studio will ask you if you want to override them. To avoid that, you probably want to import the bos file content to a new project. {: .note}

NOTE: alternatively you can clone this repository using Git integration. {: .note}

Deployment

Click on File > Deploy Bonita Studio menu to deploy all artifacts and open the Claims management application or the Bonita user home page. For more details refer to Bonita getting started.

Releasing a new version

⚠️ There is a known limitation that prevent the usage of a Github action to perform the release automatically.

Maintainer of the project can use the maven-release-plugin to publish a new release for this project.

• Java 11 and Maven 3.8.x is required to publish a release
• Checkout the master branch and run:

 mvn --batch-mode release:prepare -D releaseVersion=x.y.z -D developmentVersion=a.b.c-SNAPSHOT 

As a result a new tag should be pushed. You must now create a Github release from this tag and attached the generated .bos in the target folder.
