1、创建Springboot项目

打开IDEA,通过File -> New -> Project… -> Spring Initializr 创建一个新的Springboot项目

pom.xml文件内容:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<project xmlns="http://maven.apache.org/POM/4.0.0" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
         xsi:schemaLocation="http://maven.apache.org/POM/4.0.0 https://maven.apache.org/xsd/maven-4.0.0.xsd">
    <modelVersion>4.0.0</modelVersion>
    <parent>
        <groupId>org.springframework.boot</groupId>
        <artifactId>spring-boot-starter-parent</artifactId>
        <version>2.7.4</version>
        <relativePath/> <!-- lookup parent from repository -->
    </parent>
    <groupId>org.tntxia</groupId>
    <artifactId>flowable</artifactId>
    <version>0.0.1-SNAPSHOT</version>
    <name>flowable-spring-boot</name>
    <description>flowable-spring-boot</description>
    <properties>
        <java.version>17</java.version>
        <flowable.version>6.7.2</flowable.version>
    </properties>
    <dependencies>
        <dependency>
            <groupId>org.springframework.boot</groupId>
            <artifactId>spring-boot-starter</artifactId>
        </dependency>
        <dependency>
            <groupId>org.springframework.boot</groupId>
            <artifactId>spring-boot-starter-web</artifactId>
        </dependency>
        
        <dependency>
            <groupId>org.springframework.boot</groupId>
            <artifactId>spring-boot-starter-test</artifactId>
            <scope>test</scope>
        </dependency>
    </dependencies>

    <build>
        <plugins>
            <plugin>
                <groupId>org.springframework.boot</groupId>
                <artifactId>spring-boot-maven-plugin</artifactId>
            </plugin>
        </plugins>
    </build>

</project>

2、加入Flowable依赖包

修改pom.xml文件

"properties"属性下加入:

<flowable.version>6.7.2</flowable.version>

注意,请确保Flowable版本与Springboot版本匹配,否则会无法启动。查看Flowable不同版本对应的springboot版本,参考:https://blog.csdn.net/JinYJ2014/article/details/121530632

"dependencies"属性下加入:

<dependency>
    <groupId>org.flowable</groupId>
    <artifactId>flowable-spring-boot-starter</artifactId>
    <version>${flowable.version}</version>
</dependency>

这个依赖会自动向classpath添加正确的Flowable与Spring依赖。

注意:有时候,依赖JAR无法自动获取,可以右键点击项目,并选择 Maven ->Reload Project以强制手动刷新。

现在可以编写Spring Boot应用了:

import org.springframework.boot.SpringApplication;
import org.springframework.boot.autoconfigure.SpringBootApplication;

@SpringBootApplication
public class FlowableExampleApplication {

    public static void main(String[] args) {

        SpringApplication.run(FlowableExampleApplication.class, args);
    }

}

Flowable需要数据库来存储数据。运行上面的代码会得到异常提示,指出需要在classpath中添加数据库驱动依赖。

3、添加数据源

现在添加MySQL数据库依赖:

<dependency>
    <groupId>mysql</groupId>
    <artifactId>mysql-connector-java</artifactId>
    <version>8.0.13</version>
</dependency>

注意:MySQL依赖包版本根据自己所连接的数据库版本修改,否则可能会连接失败

application.properties文件中添加数据源

spring.datasource.url=spring.datasource.url=jdbc:mysql://127.0.0.1:3306/flowable?useSSL=false&characterEncoding=UTF-8&serverTimezone=UTC&nullCatalogMeansCurrent=true
spring.datasource.driverClassName=com.mysql.cj.jdbc.Driver
spring.datasource.username=jinyangjie
spring.datasource.password=jinyangjie

应用成功启动后,查看数据库,可以看到,已经自动创建了Flowable表:

Flowable实战(二)集成Springboot_Flowable

注意:如果出现“Caused by: java.lang.RuntimeException: Exception while initializing Database connection”的错误,请确保数据源的配置项正确,并检查MySQL依赖包版本是否匹配

4、REST支持

4.1 添加REST依赖

通常我们的应用会使用REST API。添加下列依赖:

<dependency>
    <groupId>org.springframework.boot</groupId>
    <artifactId>spring-boot-starter-web</artifactId>
    <version>${spring.boot.version}</version>
</dependency>

下面做个Controller和Service层的简单使用示例,例子来源于Flowable官方文档。

4.2 添加流程文件

resources/processes目录下的任何BPMN 2.0流程定义都会被自动部署。创建processes目录,并在其中创建示例流程定义(命名为one-task-process.bpmn20.xml)。

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<definitions
        xmlns="http://www.omg.org/spec/BPMN/20100524/MODEL"
        xmlns:flowable="http://flowable.org/bpmn"
        targetNamespace="Examples">

    <process id="oneTaskProcess" name="The One Task Process">
        <startEvent id="theStart" />
        <sequenceFlow id="flow1" sourceRef="theStart" targetRef="theTask" />
        <userTask id="theTask" name="my task" flowable:assignee="jinyangjie" />
        <sequenceFlow id="flow2" sourceRef="theTask" targetRef="theEnd" />
        <endEvent id="theEnd" />
    </process>

</definitions>

4.3 serivice层代码示例

创建一个新的Spring服务类,并创建两个方法:一个用于启动流程,另一个用于获得给定任务办理人的任务列表。在这里只是简单地包装了Flowable调用,在实际使用场景中会比这复杂得多。

import org.flowable.engine.RuntimeService;
import org.flowable.engine.TaskService;
import org.flowable.task.api.Task;
import org.springframework.beans.factory.annotation.Autowired;
import org.springframework.stereotype.Service;
import org.springframework.transaction.annotation.Transactional;

import java.util.List;

@Service
public class MyService {

    @Autowired
    private RuntimeService runtimeService;

    @Autowired
    private TaskService taskService;

    @Transactional
    public void startProcess() {
        runtimeService.startProcessInstanceByKey("oneTaskProcess");
    }

    @Transactional
    public List<Task> getTasks(String assignee) {
        return taskService.createTaskQuery().taskAssignee(assignee).list();
    }

}

4.4 controller层代码示例

@RestController
public class MyRestController {

    @Autowired
    private MyService myService;

    @RequestMapping(value="/process", method= RequestMethod.POST)
    public void startProcessInstance() {
        myService.startProcess();
    }

    @RequestMapping(value="/tasks", method= RequestMethod.GET, produces=MediaType.APPLICATION_JSON_VALUE)
    public List<TaskRepresentation> getTasks(@RequestParam String assignee) {
        List<Task> tasks = myService.getTasks(assignee);
        List<TaskRepresentation> dtos = new ArrayList<TaskRepresentation>();
        for (Task task : tasks) {
            dtos.add(new TaskRepresentation(task.getId(), task.getName()));
        }
        return dtos;
    }

    static class TaskRepresentation {

        private String id;
        private String name;

        public TaskRepresentation(String id, String name) {
            this.id = id;
            this.name = name;
        }

        public String getId() {
            return id;
        }
        public void setId(String id) {
            this.id = id;
        }
        public String getName() {
            return name;
        }
        public void setName(String name) {
            this.name = name;
        }

    }

}

Spring Boot会自动扫描组件,并找到我们添加在应用类上的@Service@RestController。再次运行应用,现在可以与REST API交互了。例如使用cURL:

curl http://localhost:8080/tasks?assignee=jinyangjie
[]

curl -X POST  http://localhost:8080/process


curl http://localhost:8080/tasks?assignee=jinyangjie
[{"id":"b6350a6d-7070-11ec-bd1b-0a0027000006","name":"my task"}]

5、小结

本篇介绍了Springboot的初步集成,很明显还有很多Spring Boot相关的内容还没有提及,比如打包WAR文件、Spring Security支持等,这些将在后面的章节中介绍。
