Hi,
When creating BPMN models two different files are created; .bpmn and
bpmn_diagram. I want to read the BPMN models and then modify them and
save the modified file as new BPMN model. Therefore I have to create both
files; the .bpmn and .bpmn_diagram.
My questions are:
- Are there classes and methods to read and parse models by giving them
the file names?
- If yes, do these classes provide methods to easily parse the given file,
such as getAllActivites(), getAllGateways() or such methods?
- How can I modify existing model elements and save the modification in
new files; .bpmn and .bpmn_diagram and how to deal with the elements
appearance and positions in .bpmn_diagram?
Thanks a lot!

Well, you can create an EMF ResourceSet with the right BpmnFactory
loaded on it, and it will effectively take care of that.

This is EMF. You can read the model, and you can use a TreeIterator to
do some filtering and get the elements you are after.

EMF should help with most of what you try to achieve. You should load
the bpmn_diagram Resource, and it will load the semantic resource.
For the notation and appearances, you can modify the Nodes and the Edges
at will.
Thanks,
Antoine

You should use the BPMN factory to read bpmn_diagram files I think.
