4.1. Designing a xpdl process with ProEd

If you are already a user of Bonita v3, you probably remember that processes could be created either through a java api or through a graphical editor : ProEd. As java api to build Bonita v4 processes is not yet developped, processes should be designed under proed (see restrictions below) and then imported as xpdl files. For that, use the stand alone version of the process editor that can be downloaded on Bonita download page.

Please, refer to the online documentation to use proEd.

As final result proEd saves the description of the designed process as an xpdl file that should be imported as described in the following section.
