Last week the Bonita development team released the version 4.1.1 of the Nova Bonita platform. This version is a maintenance release with several bug fixes for all the components of the platform: the process editor, the console and the run-time environment.
In addition to the bug fixes, this version includes a preview of the connectors functionality that is under development by the team. With this new feature, the developers will be able to encapsulate functionality in Java classes called connectors and access it from the process hooks. In future versions, once the BPM Studio is released, it will be possible for the process designers to load, configure and use the connectors without the need to write any Java code.
The current version has several build-in connectors. The most notable of them are a SMTP connector for sending e-mails without the need to use the Java Mail API and a connector to perform searches on identity services that comply with the LDAP standard.
In the section 7.11 of the updated Cookbook document (located inbonita-runtime-4.1.1/doc), you will find instructions to use the existing connectors and to create new ones that suit your needs.
