I am working with the user forms and somehow they are not working. I’m deploying these through SpringProcessEngineConfiguration.setDeploymentResources(). I am verifying in Camunda admin and I can see the deployment is there. Please see the attachment.
But when I’m trying to get this form in the user task, the process cannot find it.
This is how I set the form key:
embedded:deployment:create-frame-contract.html
If instead of that, I put the absolute path like this:
embedded:deployment:/path/to/file/create-frame-contract.html
it works.
Can you please help me with some advice? Is there a way to set the path to forms in the process engine config?
Thank you
Hello

it looks like the forms have a context /forms/, I would suggest to also add this context to the form key.
Hope this helps

Hi
@jonathan.lukas
Thank you for the response. I have added that also and it’s still not working.
I get the same message.
Hello
@Luci_Torjoc
,
usually, when working with spring-boot, I do not deploy forms. Rather, I will add a marker file in src/main/resources/META-INF/processes.xml which is empty.
Then, I can create the folder src/main/resources/static/forms where I can store all the html forms I need.
I will then reference them with a form key like: embedded:app:forms/create-order.html
This form key will make the tasklist look up the form in the static resources of my application.
Hope this helps

Yes, I understand what you are saying.
But do you think is there a way of using this embedded forms with the relative context path?
I have to use “deployment” instead of “app”. And it works if I put the absolute path.
Isn’t there any way of configuring this path in the process engine bean config?

unfortunalety, this is off the roads I know. Maybe
@Niall

@Ingo_Richtsmeier

Hi
@Luci_Torjoc
,
I haven’t used a subfolder in my deployments so far.
From my experience, if you skip the folder in the deployment, you can refer them with your form key.
Hope this helps, Ingo
Hi

Thank you for your input. I’ve tried without the subfolder and it is the same. It works only with absolute path.
Do you have any other idea?
