Dashboard Builder is a web application for the visual composition of dashboards. A dashboard is composed by a set of business indicators (aka Key Performance Indicators) which are feed from data coming from heterogeneous sources of information like databases or CSV files.
The jBPM Dashboard is a customization of the Dashboard Builder project. This customization has the following goals in mind:
- To provide users with a full featured dashboard with a bunch of key performance indicators built on top of the jBPM history log.
- To replace the whole Dashbuilder's look&feel with jBPM's branding.
- To offer a tight integration between Dashbuilder and jBPM at the data connectivity layer.
If you discover pitfalls, tips and tricks not described in this document, please update it using the markdown syntax.
If you want to build the project please, proceed as indicated:
- Prerequisites:
This guide assumes you have Java JDK 1.6 (set as JAVA_HOME), and Maven 3.0.4+ (set as MAVEN_HOME) in your system.
The java and mvn commands must be added to the executable's path as well.
-
Open a terminal window, go to the project root directory and type the following command:
$ mvn clean install -Dfull -DskipTests
This command compiles, builds and runs the application. It'll last a few minutes (but only for the first time) because the maven build process needs to download a lot of third-party libraries.
To deploy the jBPM dashboard to WildFly 8, first see "Building the project", then proceed as indicated:
-
Go to the
jbpm-dashboard-distributions/targetdirectory and get the jbpm-dashbuilder-wildfly8.war -
Then take a look at the following guide.
