Camunda Process Engine configuration with MockExpressionManager for wildfly


We have Camunda installed as a module for Wildfly8. Everything works fine, but I need a way to mock java delegates for unit tests (with Arquillian). As I understand, org.camunda.bpm.engine.test.mock.Mocks can be used to provide mocked delegates. According to JavaDoc, I should register MockExpressionManager in my process engine configuration. I've found some similar config with MockExpressingManager here https://github.com/camunda/camunda-bpm-assert/blob/master/camunda-bpm-assert-examples/src/test/resources/camunda.cfg.xml

but camunda module for wildfly is configured in standalone-full.xml:

        <subsystem xmlns="urn:org.camunda.bpm.jboss:1.1">
        <process-engines>
            <process-engine name="default" default="true">
                <datasource>
                    java:jboss/datasources/ProcessEngine
                </datasource>
                <history-level>
                    full
                </history-level>
                <configuration>
                    org.camunda.bpm.engine.cdi.CdiJtaProcessEngineConfiguration
                </configuration>
                <properties>
                    <property name="jobExecutorAcquisitionName">
                        default
                    </property>
                    <property name="isAutoSchemaUpdate">
                        true
                    </property>
                    <property name="authorizationEnabled">
                        true
                    </property>
                    <property name="jobExecutorDeploymentAware">
                        true
                    </property>
                    <property name="expressionManager">
                        org.camunda.bpm.engine.test.mock.MockExpressionManager
                    </property>                     
                </properties>

but this doesn't work, and on wildfly startup I see

How to set this MockExpressionManager to the configuration correctly?

Or may be there are some other ways to mock java delegates?


Solution

  • From looking at the Camunda code, they're expecting a reference to an expression manager to be passed in. If I had to guess, this is being passed in as a string. A dirty way I can think of to handle this is to create your subclass of CdiJtaProcessEngineConfiguration which configures the proper expression manager, deploy that JAR to their module and wire that in.

    Personally, I found their configuration to be a bit too tight for me in direct wildfly integration and chose to configure their library in my app directly.
