We demoed its use with ruby-on-rails and Tibco General Interface.<BR/><BR/>In Intalio|Designer-5.2, a form-descriptor defines the location of the input of the form, its output and the URL where the form is hosted at runtime.<BR/>Using an extension point you can associate a file-extension to a java class in charge of reading the file to let designer know those 3 parameters.<BR/>You can then drag and drop a file with such extension on BPMN diagrams. It will behave just like xforms dropped on BPMN diagrams in 5.1.<BR/>The 5.2 Community Edition is packaged with implementations of a form descriptor for *.xforms and *.sampleform which is simply a property file where the references to the input/output schema elements and deployment URL are written.<BR/>Our customers with a support contract are given access to the designer-SDK and a tutorial to develop their own form-descriptor.<BR/><BR/>Here are the slides of those presentations:<BR/><A HREF="http://bpms.intalio.com/docman/intalio-user-conference-2008-presentations/intalio-wf-ui/details.html" REL="nofollow">Custom Forms Part 1: Designer</A><BR/><BR/><A HREF="http://bpms.intalio.com/docman/intalio-user-conference-2008-presentations/intalio-wf-ui-runtime/details.html" REL="nofollow">Custom Forms Part 2: Runtime</A><BR/>PS: We are working on being able to access those files without registration on the portal. <BR/><BR/>Cheers,<BR/>Hugues Malphettes, Intalio|Designer Tech LeadHugueshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04189837776468240016noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7023484431672164937.post-25972820610794199442008-06-04T10:08:00.000+12:002008-06-04T10:08:00.000+12:00Dave,<BR/><BR/>We were sorry to hear you wouldn't be able to join us for the conference.<BR/><BR/>If you are nice we might share the materials;).<BR/><BR/>No, we do plan on making as much of the material available as possible. But, it's nothing like the real thing.<BR/><BR/>We now have a <A HREF="http://bpms.intalio.com/forums/intalio-user-conference/listcat.html" REL="nofollow">forum</A> dedicated to the event. Even if you aren't attending it is a great place to add your thoughts about what you would like to see come out of the user conference.<BR/><BR/>Thanks,<BR/>JonathanJonathan Crowhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11713197963149865489noreply@blogger.com
