jPBM 5.4 extend BPMN 2.0 Task

Question

In the course of my Master's thesis, I need to extend the definition of the rule task with a new property. I would use the definition (which is given by the BPMN 2.0 standard). For this I need to implement the classes "Definition", "ExtensionDefinition" and "ExtensionAttributeDefinition".

My problem: Where to I put the implemented classes? Of course I cannot start in the main-method because the user needs the property during the modeling of the process.

I'm thankful for any help.

Greetings Katharina

Ok, so you want to extend the BPMN2 support inside jBPM right? You first need to check if jBPM is not defining those elements. After that you will need to extend the jbpm-bpmn2 module with those features and then probably the process designer to allow the process designer to add those extension elements. I wanna make sure that I'm understanding your requirements in the right way.

I will strongly recommend you to get in contact with us (jbpm team) in order to coordinate your work, so it can be included as part of the project when its done. As a first step I will recommend you to check the jbpm-bpmn2 project which defines all the supported structures.
