Hi,today is a first day I’m experimenting with activiti. It seems to be a nice framework, thanks guys I have a problem accessing an annotated spring bean in a service task expression: <serviceTask id="servicetask" name="Service Task" activiti:expression="#{myService.performAction()}"></se

I guess, you need to use $ instead of # in EL expressions. I mean try ${myService.performAction()} instead of #{myService.performAction()}

It would be great if the problem could be solved so easy. But according to the user guide you can use # in expressions…

I think the problem is due to the fact that org.activiti.engine.impl.javax.el.BeanELResolver gets a proxy instead of a real object from the spring context evaluating the expression. The question now is whether there is a solution for this problem that allows me to use my annotated beans or I have to define all my spring beans in a XML configuration file.
