Simple pom for spring boot based camunda enterprise edition

ppbiz · March 25, 2019, 9:46pm

Looking for a simple pom.xml for spring boot based camunda enterprise edition alone.
The examples I have come across are having 2 many details for keeping it flexible for all which is confusing. I do have EE license which I can incorporate in the subsequent build.

TIA.

Hi, i came across the following link which seems to be acceptable to my basic level of understanding .

github.com

camunda/camunda-bpm-examples/blob/master/spring-boot-starter/example-webapp-ee/README.md

# Spring Boot Web application with enterprise Camunda Webapps

This example demonstrates how you can build a Spring Boot application with the embedded Camunda enterprise version.

* Embedded Camunda Engine
* Camunda Enterprise web applications automatically deployed
* Process application and one BPMN process deployed
* Admin user configured with login and password configured in `application.yaml`
* "All" filter automatically created in task-list
* automatic use of a `camunda-license.txt`

It also contains a simple integration test, showing how this can be tested.

You will need:

* credentials to access the enterprise repo in your `settings.xml`
* a valid camunda-license key file in your classpath in the file `camunda-license.txt`

## How is it done

Q : The spring boot with camunda starts up and i am able to trigger a process which finishes. but I do not see the Enterprise Edition feature like the history . I have dropped the license key into the src/main/resource folder … Is there any other step i am missing ?

-Thanks

Hi @ppbiz,

Did you use this dependency: https://docs.camunda.org/manual/7.10/user-guide/spring-boot-integration/webapps/#enterprise-webapps?

Here is the history view included.

Hope this helps, Ingo

The issue seem to be rectified by changing the Spring boot parent to 2.1.1.RELEASE instead of 2.1.3 … made the change based on the version comparisons listed on 1 of the camunda help pages.
But have a leading question … Now i do see the page where it asks for License on the Browser under System tab … but my understanding is that the same key can be loaded via dropping the license text key in the src/main/resource … if so, it hasnt worked so far ?

it auto-detects the license file if it is named “camunda-license.txt”, see https://docs.camunda.org/manual/7.8/user-guide/spring-boot-integration/configuration/

@jangalinski thanks for replying … but i have the file under sr/main/resources with the same name and extension, case etc … not picking it as of yet…
To confirm that the license key is valid string i added it from the browser and it worked… so that tell me there is something i am missing that it doesnt pick from the classpath

Did it work for anyone else via the auto-detect / class-path option of loading the license key ?
My configuration :
Spring-Boot: (v2.1.1.RELEASE)
Camunda BPM: (v7.10.0-ee)
Camunda BPM Spring Boot Starter: (v3.2.0)

There was an issue, which is solved meanwhile in the spring-boot-starter 3.x: https://jira.camunda.com/browse/CAM-10591

We switched to inserting the license ourselves with Liquibase. If you cannot easily upgrade, this might be an option for you as well.
