项目组最近的项目使用到了activiti工作流，到处查找了一些资料后，初步完成任务。但是我所做的事只是在搭好的环境中调用接口和方法操作，因此自己尝试着也从搭建环境入手，以下是成功实现以后的记录。

实现目标：成功创建activiti相关的24张表并进行简单操作。

使用环境：eclipse4.4.1、tomcat7、jdk1.7、mysql5.6.25、maven3.2.5、activiti5.16。

maven导入基础依赖包的配置：

activiti主配置文件activiti.cfg.xml连接数据库创建引擎的配置：

</beans>

package activitiTest;

import java.io.InputStream;
import java.util.zip.ZipInputStream;

import org.activiti.engine.ProcessEngine;
import org.activiti.engine.ProcessEngines;

public class ActTest {
	public void actDeployement() {
		ProcessEngine processEngine = ProcessEngines.getDefaultProcessEngine();
		InputStream inputStream = this.getClass().getClassLoader()
				.getResourceAsStream("actTest1.zip");
		ZipInputStream zipInputStream = new ZipInputStream(inputStream);
		processEngine.getRepositoryService().createDeployment()
				.name("activiti测试").addZipInputStream(zipInputStream).deploy();
	}
}

启动测试代码后数据库表如下图：
