If I logout and log back in I'm able to continue working with Activiti Explorer

That's not a valid process definition. You have to create a sound process definition with a start event, a task and an end event.

Best regards,

I was running the activiti-webapp-explorer2 web app. I am facing a similar issue. I had created a proper process with a start event, task and a end event. Deployment was successful from the explorer. But after deployment it redirects me to a page where none of the links work. But again if u restart the server and login again, the links work.

Found the reason for this error. In activiti explorer, when a admin user logs in and deploys a process. After deployment it is redirected to a Manage processes page, which allows you to see the jobs started or allows you to undeploy a proess etc. This works fine for admin user. But if the user is not admin, then he is should not be allowed to see the Manage page. But still it redirects him to that page.. and i think sine he doesn't have the permission none of the links in the page works and we get this error.
