How to add cockpit and Admin inside embedded spring implementation

[on....@gmail.com]

Hi All,

We are evaluating Camunda and in process of doing POC.

We already have a War application and we using Camunda BPMN embedded inside Spring based application.

Now we want to add cockpit also under our war file. Can you please share some link on what steps needs to be followed sp that we can add cockpit inside our Application war file.

I have gone through Camunda site and various other blogs but getting confused with the right steps.

Any pointers will be of great help.

Hi Ashwin Shah,

I don't think it is best practice to pack Camunda Cockpit into your custom application since there may be conflicts with classes and resources unless you build Cockpit from the sources yourself.

If having Cockpit as a separate application is ok for you, then you can download the standalone Cockpit variant [1]. Just like your custom application, it contains an embedded engine and you'll have to configure both engines against the same database. See link [1] for a pointer how to configure the embedded engine in the standalone version of Cockpit.

Cheers,
Thorben

If you want to do this, just do a maven war overlay of the standalone distribution of the web application that Thorben mentioned

=> Add this dependency  to your pom: 

	<groupId>org.camunda.bpm.webapp</groupId>
	<artifactId>camunda-webapp-tomcat-standalone</artifactId>
	<packaging>war</packaging>

Hi Thorben,

Thank you for your quick reply.

As suggested by you I followed the below links

Followed instruction from this below link
https://docs.camunda.org/manual/7.4/installation/standalone-webapplication/

Downloaded war file form below link->Camunda Standalone Webapp-> apache tomcat-> 7.4.0-Final
https://camunda.org/download/

On my vanilla Tomcat webapps folder I copied the camunda standalone war file but when I try to open the below url I am getting 404 error.

Note: I do not see any error in Tomcat console or Tomcat log files.

http://localhost:9080/camunda/
http://localhost:9080/camunda/app/cockpit

Hi Ashwin Shah,

on Tomcat, the servlet context path of a web application is the name of the war file (minus the .war). So, if you deploy a file named camunda-standalone.war, the URL Is going to be localhost:9080/camunda-standalone

Hi Ashwin Shah,

 

It is not required to install the shared engine BPM platform since the standalone web application bundles an embedded engine . Which link did you download the standalone web application from?

 

Cheers,
Thorben

Hi Thorben,

Yes I had renamed my camunda*.war file to camunda.war and tried the url but it did not work.

I followed the below documentation to make it work.

Link1 : https://docs.camunda.org/manual/7.3/guides/installation-guide/tomcat/#bpm-platform-install-optional-camunda-dependencies

Doubt: Is it mandatory that we need to follow the Link1  suggested steps even for a standalone camunda cockpit to work.?
