Building your own case UI on top of the Case API

We won't go much into detail here because there are a lot of good blog entries out there describing how to build your own user interface on top of Oracle Human Task Engine and already some describing the same activity for ACM.

The first things to keep in mind when you start your own ACM-UI project are the API Java documents that can be found in BPM Suite documentation and, of course, as a sample in the generic Oracle user interface based on this ACM API.

You can choose whatever UI technology fits your requirements best. The most native way in an Oracle technology stack would be to use ADF and maybe WebCenter Portal as the surrounding web framework. But, you are not limited to that. For example, for one project, we wrapped the Oracle API behind a REST service layer, and then we built a HTML5 user interface using AngularJS against our new API. We did that mainly to demonstrate what's possible on that side of the technology stack. You can see the...
