Class BPMNEntityBuilder

java.lang.Object
org.imixs.workflow.bpmn.BPMNEntityBuilder
public class BPMNEntityBuilder extends Object
This BPMNEntityBuilder provides methods to convert a BPMNElementNode into a ItemCollection. The corresponding ItemCollection contains all Imixs Extension Elements as also the items 'id' and 'type'.

Through the item 'id' it is possible to access the BPMN element directly from an ItemCollection by the BPMN element id which should be unique. In addition, the item "type" is set to 'TASK' or 'EVENT', which reflects the type of an element.

Example: 

 
<bpmn2:task id="Task_2" imixs:processid="1900" name="Approve">
    <bpmn2:extensionElements>
    <imixs:item name="user.name" type="xs:string">John</imixs:item>
    ....
    </bpmn2:extensionElements>
    ...
</bpmn2:task>
