This chapter covers
- Introducing the JBoss BPM Travel Agency
- Booking a trip
- Reviewing a trip booking
When starting off with a new technology it is nice to have a working example project to explore, preferably an example that touches upon most of the major features and components that help us understand how to get started. This gives you something to lean on as you take your first steps into the world of JBoss BPM. As with most new technology is you want to investigate, there is nothing like working with a live functioning example, as not everyone is a fan of reading the provided technical documentation as a starting point, right? This chapter introduces the JBoss BPM Travel Agency project for you to explore as I walk you through how it works and how to execute a process instance.
After reviewing the project, you are going to submit your own booking for a fictional trip in Europe which showcases the elements of the process as covered in the first part of this chapter. To close out this chapter you review your executed travel booking process and examine the process instances, task data, and historical information through the provided process dashboards.
