Magnolia comes with a four-eye content approval workflow. You can reconfigure the default workflow to include more approval steps, more participants and decision points. Workflow is configured in the Workflow and Workflow jBPM modules. The workflow engine is based on the JBPM Business Process Management (BPM) Suite.
Modules
Magnolia’s workflow implementation consists of four modules.
| Module | Description |
|---|---|
Workflow |
An engine-agnostic integration module. Enables the necessary integration points for Magnolia to communicate with a workflow engine. |
Workflow jBPM |
Magnolia’s jBPM integration module. Takes care of loading BPMN process definitions and workitem handlers. Implements the concepts of RuntimeManager and RuntimeEnvironment from jBPM 7. |
Drools JCR persistence |
Used for persisting work items and sessions to JCR. |
jBPM JCR persistence |
Used for persisting processes to JCR. |
The Kie modules are heavily inspired by jBPMs own JPA implementation.
Installing with Maven
Maven is the easiest way to install the module. Add the following to your bundle:
<dependency>
<groupId>info.magnolia.workflow</groupId>
<artifactId>magnolia-module-workflow</artifactId>
<version>7.0.0</version> (1)
</dependency>| 1 | Should you need to specify the module version, do it using <version>. |
<dependency>
<groupId>info.magnolia.workflow</groupId>
<artifactId>magnolia-module-workflow-jbpm</artifactId>
<version>7.0.0</version> (1)
</dependency>| 1 | Should you need to specify the module version, do it using <version>. |
<dependency>
<groupId>info.magnolia.workflow</groupId>
<artifactId>drools-jcr-persistence</artifactId>
<version>7.0.0</version> (1)
</dependency>| 1 | Should you need to specify the module version, do it using <version>. |
<dependency>
<groupId>info.magnolia.workflow</groupId>
<artifactId>jbpm-jcr-persistence</artifactId>
<version>7.0.0</version> (1)
</dependency>| 1 | Should you need to specify the module version, do it using <version>. |
|
Be mindful of the version discrepancy between the Workflow modules and the core module. |
Compatibility module
If you have custom code relying on classes from the Magnolia 5 UI Workflow module, you must do one of two things:
-
Update your code for the Magnolia 6 UI Workflow module.
-
Use the
magnolia-workflow-compatibilitymodule together with themagnolia-core-compatibilityandmagnolia-diff-compatibilitymodules.
Usage
See Workflow.
