Deployment Failed: Error Parsing XML

philcio — Mon, 26 May 2014 16:46:33 GMT

Hello Activiti community,I am developing a BPMN process in Activiti. Whenever I add a signal definition to my process or leave the "collaboration" tag inside the XML file, I am getting a "Error Parsing XML" message.Here is what I mean:<blockcode><definitions xmlns="http://www.omg.org/spec/B

Collaborations are not supported in Activiti.

Thank you for your quick reply.

Actually, I am not intending to use collaborations. As soon as I add one pool (with 3 lanes) into my Activiti Designer diagram, it automatically generates the collaboration tag. Although I have only one pool in my diagram. Shouldn't I add the pool graphic to my diagram in order to make it work?

Could you post the full XML here so we can have a look?

Thank you for your reply and sorry for my late response. I fixed it by starting the process from scratch without adding a pool with lanes to the diagram. Now it works as intended.

Hello,

I'm facing exactly the same issue, though I'm not using any collaboration or signals in the XML. Increasing log level didn't help either.
The only thing I can notice about my process is that is very big.
I am attaching you the process definition itself (it's the exact .bpmn file - I simply changed the extension to .txt).

Could it be the size of the definition an issue here?
What can I do to troubleshoot this?

Hi,

the cause is in the log


Caused by: org.activiti.engine.impl.juel.TreeBuilderException: Error parsing '#{calculate.div(R_lv_load_m, R_lv_load_m_sum)}': syntax error at position 12, encountered 'div', expected <IDENTIFIER>

Hi,

Thanks for your reply. You are right "div" seems to be a reserved word for EL expressions http://docs.oracle.com/javaee/6/tutorial/doc/bnail.html

However, my real problem here is that I can't view the logs as you do. I am uploading the file through activiti-explorer and I don't see the log entry that you see in any of .log, .out, .err files of the server. I am running Weblogic. Am I supposed to configure something?

Hi,

I do not use activiti-explorer, but I would say that there is log4j configuration file somewhere.

Yes, I checked log4j configuration, everything seems to be ok. Anyway, I feel this is a different issue. I will open a different thread. How are you deploying and you see such logs? I will do the same.

In the meantime is it possible to check why this definition (attached) throws again the same error? Obviously I fixed the previous one. Sorry for asking, but I'm really clueless on this until I fix logging. Thanks for your valuable support.

OK I tried this way http://forums.activiti.org/content/deployment-failed-error-parsing-xml#comment-31381
and by adding "slf4j-api" and "slf4j-log4j12" in the pom.xml seems to be geting some reasonable error messages now…

Thanks again!
