First I would like if someone can point out extensive information about connecting external forms with Bonita BPM. That would be very helpful.

Nevertheless,...

I found that for a human task to use external forms instead of the UI Designer one, I have to

  1. Select the Pool / Human Task
  2. Go to Details panel
  3. Click on Execution tab
    • If Pool, select Instantiation form pane
    • If Human Task, select Forms pane
  5. Select External URL radio button
  6. Enter the URL

Now, here's my questions...

If not local, what must be the url, because I always see Bonita appending the specified url to it's native one, rather than redirecting as it should do?

I mean what is the point of giving an absolute url?

If local, what should be the url?

Should it be absolute file:///C:/.../.../Desktop/.../testingform.html or relative testingform.html?

If relative, than where should the file or folder be placed?

For now this questions will be my first step in intergrating custom web app with Bonita BPM.

I hope there will be someone who has asked these same questions and found the answer and be very much willing to answer these again.

Your external page should be served from the same server of Bonita (you can place the page in webapp/ROOT, for example).

The page should be able to execute a post to the task, with a json compliant the contract.

For example, using Angular, with a contract defined with a string named 'mystring':

$scope.contract = { mystring: "myvalue" }
$http.post('/bonita/API/bpm/userTask/' + id + '/execution', $scope.contract);

The id is the path parameter passed to your external html page.

I hope this can help you.
