define
The main names for this expression are ‘define’ and ‘process_definition’.
It simply encloses a process definition (and gives it a name and revision
if needed).
pdef = Ruote.process_definition :name => 'test', :revision => '0' do
sequence do
participant :ref => 'alice'
participant :ref => 'bob'
end
end
It’s used for subprocess definitions as well.
pdef = Ruote.process_definition :name => 'test', :revision => '0' do
sequence do
buy_food
cook_food
end
define 'buy_food' do
participant :ref => 'alice'
end
define :name => 'cook_food' do
participant :ref => 'bob'
end
end
like a sequence
Ruote 2.0 treats the child expressions of a ‘define’ expression like a
‘sequence’ expression does. Thus, this
pdef = Ruote.process_definition :name => 'test' do
sequence do
buy_food
cook_food
end
end
is equivalent to
pdef = Ruote.process_definition :name => 'test' do
buy_food
cook_food
end
