7.16. Configuring the ESB Action Handler

  1. Attach the EsbActionHandler to a node to call an action when that node is entered. When the EsbActionHandler is executed, the node waits for a transition signal (normally sent by the JBossESB callback service).
  2. Configure as follows: 
    <action name="create_new_process_instance" 
  class="org.jboss.soa.esb.services.jbpm.actions.BpmProcessor">

  <property name="command" value="StartProcessInstanceCommand" />
  <property name="process-definition-name" value="processDefinition2"/>
  <property name="actor" value="FrankSinatra"/>                                                 
  
  <property name="esbToBpmVars">
  <!-- esb-name maps to getBody().get("eVar1") -->
    <mapping esb="eVar1" bpm="counter" default="45" />
    <mapping esb="BODY_CONTENT" bpm="theBody" />
  </property>             

</action>
