3 Processing first steps
This chapter covers
- Installing JBoss BPM
- Starting a first project
- Touring JBoss BPM in the Cloud
As with any new technology, you can’t wait to get your hands on your first installation of JBoss BPM Suite and get started with your very first process project. You might have dug into the product documentation online and seen that the installation process requires a few steps to be done manually, care needs to be taken on the order that these steps are done in and you also have to make sure the default settings are what you need for your project. If the default settings are not what you need, then you can dig deeper to see what you need to do to change these default settings.
In this chapter I provide you with an easy to use installation project for starting any project you have with JBoss BPM in just minutes. This setup has been used in the workshops I provide online[6] and has been an effective tool for many new users of JBoss BPM. You’re installing a new and ready to use JBoss BPM Suite server in just minutes.
As soon as you have an installation setup, the next thing you do is start your first project. I walk you through the steps you need to embark on any new JBoss BPM Suite process project. By the end of this chapter you are ready to start designing your project’s artifacts, such as rules, events and processes.
