Demo User Community in BPM 12c Quickstart

When you want to do demo-ing or perform the BPM12c workshops on a BPM12c QuickStart developers installation you'll need the Oracle BPM Demo User community. You know: with Charles Dickens, John Steinbeck and friends.

How to do so, you can find on the page following this link. You'll need the demo-community scripting that can be found following this link, and then download 'workflow-001-DemoCommunitySeedApp'.

However, besides adapting the build.properties file, there are a few changes to make in the build.xml.


First, find the property declaration for 'wls.home', and change it to:

<property name="wls.home" value="${bea.home}/wlserver"/>

This is needed, since they renamed the folder for the weblogic server in the FMW12c home. Then, after the comment of 'End Default values for params', add the following

  <!-- Import task def for antcontrib functions as if -->
  <property name="ant-contrib.jar" value="${bea.home}/oracle_common/modules/net.sf.antcontrib_1.1.0.0_1-0b3/lib/ant-contrib.jar"/>
  <taskdef resource="net/sf/antcontrib/antlib.xml">
    <classpath>
      <pathelement location="${ant-contrib.jar}"/>
    </classpath>
  </taskdef>

This is because the script lacks a definition for the ant-contrib lib, needed amongst others for the 'if' activities. After this change, it worked for me.
