Flowable UI application installationĪs mentioned before, the UI application can be deployed on a Tomcat server, and to get started this is probably the easiest approach when additional configuration settings are used.

More about this can be read in the REST API chapter. See The Executable Jar Format in the Spring Boot reference documentation.įlowable also provides the flowable-rest.war which contains the Flowable REST API.

The application and components are Spring Boot 2.0 based, which means that that the WAR file is actually executable and can be run as a normal standalone application. Spring Boot starters are available for each separate component app. This UI application is provided as a single WAR file that can be dropped in any web server or started with its embedded server. The admin app connects to the engines through the REST API that is deployed together with the Flowable UI application and the Flowable REST application. This application contains four main app components:įlowable IDM: an Identity Management app that provides single sign-on authentication functionality for all the Flowable UI applications, and, for users with the IDM administrative privilege, it also provides functionality to manage users, groups and privileges.įlowable Modeler: an app that allows users with modeler privileges to model processes, forms, decision tables and application definitions.įlowable Task: a runtime task app that provides functionality to start process instances, edit task forms, complete tasks and query on tasks and process instances.įlowable Admin: an administrative app that allows users with admin privilege to query the BPMN, DMN, form and content engines and provides several options to change process instances, tasks, jobs and so on.

Flowable provides a web UI application to demonstrate and leverage the functionality provided by the Flowable project.
