Is there any HUMAN TASK UI in BPS OR BPEL in WSO2

Question

Hi i am working on WSO2 BPS 3.1.0 with samples given by BPS server. While i am deploying these sample in Eclipse.i am able to see only BPEL Editor and WSDL Editor.

But i didn't see any other UI for HUMANTASK in Eclipse or in Wso2. Even i didn't find any learning document for HUMANTASK except this

http://docs.wso2.org/display/BPS310/Writing+a+Human+Task+Artifact

is there any UI for HumanTask and its end to end document?

Answer for HumanTask editor:- No, Currently WSO2 DevStudio doesn't have a Humantask editor. But you can use DevStudio's xml editor to edit humantask file (.ht).

WSO2 BPS supports Humantask 1.1 specification [1]. Currently it only supports remote humantask and remote notifications. Subtasks, lean tasks, inline Humantasks are not supported at the moment. If you want to learn humantask, I prefer specification [0]. It is a very simple specification compare to the BPEL 2.0. http://docs.wso2.org/display/BPS310/Writing+a+Human+Task+Artifact covers basic syntax required for humantask. I have written some blog posts to cover some advance humantask usecases. [1],[2]

Some useful tips for editing .ht files:

• set .ht file association for xml editor.
• As mentioned in [3] set .ht file with humantask xsd [4] for xml validation and auto-fill function based on xsd.
