BPMN 2.0 Elements
Callable Elements
process
Spec: OMG p.146f
Stardust Support: full
Mapping Description: BPMN processes correspond to processes in Stardust.
Transformation: partial (related elements missing)
Testmodel(s): e.g. CollapsedSubprocess.bpmn (any testmodel contains at least one process).
see also callActivity
Related Elements
- Auditing: tbd
- Monitoring: tbd
- Property: Stardust Variable (Data)
- Resource role: tbd
- Artifact: tbd
- CorrelationSubscription: tbd
- Interface: tbd
globalTask
Spec: OMG p.187f
BPMN Modelling Conformance Subclasses: -
Stardust Support: partial
Mapping Description: BPMN Global Tasks are not directly available in Stardust, however, a process with a corresponding 'global task' can be generated.
Transformation: TODO
Task call: see callActivity
Related Elements
- Property: Stardust Variable (Data)
- Resource role: tbd
- Interface: tbd
Specific types
- globalUserTask: see userTask
- globalManualTask: see manualTask
- globalScriptTask: see scriptTask
- globalBusinessRuleTask: see businessRuleTask
Activities / Subprocesses
Common Activity Extensions (Subprocess, Task etc.):
- TStardustActivity.java (::TStardustCommon TStardustCommon.java)
- EventHandlers
- HibernateOnCreation
subProcess
Spec: OMG p.173f
BPMN Modelling Conformance Subclasses: Executable (expanded) / Descriptive / Analytic
Stardust Support: partial (collapsed subprocesses)
Mapping Description: BPMN Sub-Processes correspond to Stardust Sub-Processes. In Stardust, subprocess-activities call a process whilst BPMN subprocesses contain their process elements (i.e. they are flow element containers). However, by specifying the called process in stardust as 'synchronous with shared data', the behaviour and even data visibility are similar to BPMN.
Transformation: available
Testmodel(s): CollapsedSubprocess.bpmn
Related Elements
Specific types
- AdHocSubprocess: tbd
- EventSubprocess: tbd
callActivity
Spec: OMG p.,
BPMN Modelling Conformance Subclasses: (Executable / Descriptive / Analytic)
Stardust Support: full/partial
Mapping Description:
Transformation: available
Testmodel(s): .bpmn .bpmn
Attributes
Related Elements
Extension Elements/Attributes
Specific types
Process Call
Mapping Description: The Stardust Sub-process Activity synchronously calls a process with separate data (i.e. process parameters / input-/output-paths are used, mapped to BPMN Process DataInput/DataOutput elements).
Transformation: todo
GlobalTask Call
Mapping Description: Global tasks are transformed to Stardust Processes containing an Activity that corresponds to the GlobalTask (see globalTask). The call then works similar to Process Call.
Transformation: todo
Tasks
Task (Abstract / None)
Spec: OMG p.156f
BPMN Modelling Conformance Subclasses: Descriptive / Analytic
Stardust Support: full
Mapping Description: BPMN unspecific task is not executable. It is mapped to a Route Activity in Stardust.
Transformation: available
Testmodel(s): AbstractTask.bpmn
userTask
Spec: OMG p.163,
BPMN Modelling Conformance Subclasses: Executable / Descriptive / Analytic
Stardust Support: full
Mapping Description: BPMN user tasks correspond to Stardust Manual Activities or Interactive Activites respectively.
Transformation: available
Testmodel(s): Stardust Manual Activity (with performers): UserTask.bpmn, Stardust Interactive Task: UserTaskWebApp.bpmn
Attributes
- implementation: Manual Activity=“##unspecified", JSP=http://java.sun.com/JSP/Page, JSF=http://java.sun.com/jsf, JFC= http://java.sun.com/jfc
Related Elements
- resources [ResourceRole]: Stardust Participant (if ResourceRole type Performer). See also Resources
- Rendering: not used (see extension)
Extension Elements/Attributes
- StardustUserTaskType StardustUserTaskType (::StardustActivity)
- interactiveApplicationRef -> BPMN Interface, see also Interface
serviceTask
Spec: OMG p.158f,
BPMN Modelling Conformance Subclasses: Executable / Descriptive / Analytic
Stardust Support: full (WebServices, Plain Java, Spring Beans, Transformation, Parsing, DMS Operation...)
Mapping Description: BPMN service tasks are mapped to Stardust (non-interactive) application tasks.
Transformation: available
Testmodel(s): Webservice call: ServiceTaskWebServiceApp.bpmn
Attributes
- implementation: ("##unspecified"), "#WebService", tbd: url's specifying the implementation type. Not used for execution.
Related Elements
- operationRef [Operation]: used to identify the Interface holding the application details (see Interface)
Extension Elements/Attributes
- StardustServiceTaskType (::StardustActivity, no further extensions)

Services
Interface
Spec: OMG p.104f,
BPMN Modelling Conformance Subclasses: -
Stardust Support: based on extensions
Mapping Description: "An Interface defines a set of operations that are implemented by Services" (OMG p.104). Therefore the Interface element is used as container for the Stardust application specification. As Stardust has a variable concept for different kinds of applications (including a concept of 'accesspoints' e.g. exceeding the interface exposed by WSDL operations), the extension bases on the internal Stardust Object model.
Transformation: available
Testmodel(s): WebService Task: ServiceTaskWebServiceApp.bpmn, Interactive UserTask: UserTaskWebApp.bpmn, Message Events MessageEvents.bpmn
Attributes
- name: Application Name
Related Elements
- operations [Operation]: only used to reference from Activities
- callableElements[CallableElement]: not used
- implementationRef [Element]: dummy usage - references the nested extension element (StardustApplicationType)
Extension Elements/Attributes
- StardustInterfaceType
- StardustApplicationType (::org.eclipse.stardust.model.xpdl.carnot.ApplicationType)
