Setup PAPI for BPM standalone

Question

Hello,
i am new to BPMS. I want to set up PAPI for my local instance of BPM studio. How do i set the directory.xml ? Is there any documentation available for setting up PAPI for a standalone version?
Could somebody guide me or point me to a link?
Thanks much
Raj

You can use PAPI with studio (version 10.3) if you run BPM and your external application on the same machine.
The following code to set up papi might help
Properties configuration = new Properties();
try {
InputStream inputStream = getClass().getClassLoader().getResourceAsStream("bpm.properties");
if(inputStream == null)
throw new IOException();
configuration.load(inputStream);
} catch (IOException ex) {
log.log(Level.WARNING, "Could not load bpm.properties", ex);
return null;
ProcessServiceSession papisession = null;
try {
ProcessService processService = ProcessService.create(configuration);
papisession = processService.createSession(user, pass, hostname);
return papisession;
and your bpm.properties file should have the following content:
fuego.directory.id=default
fuego.project.path=/Users/satinder/BPMWorkspace/SAPOL_BPM
//fuego.project.path will be the path to the root directory of your BPM project
You may also want to go through the following http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E13154_01/bpm/docs65/papi/index.html
