Cannot deploy diagram with swimlane inside to engine 5.3

Hi,I used the activiti modeler based on signavio to draw a simple diagram with a swim lane inside the diagram but the resulting bpmn20.xml file cannot be deployed on the engine version 5.3.Please see the attachment for the screenshot of the 2 diagrams (with and without swimlane) and the exception me

This is presumably a bug. I created an isse for it: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/ACT-738

I suspect that it's due to the following: the engine ignors the swimlanes, as it has no execution meaning.
However, the BPMN diagram interchange does refer to it, hence the exception.

Thank you for the excellent explanation. This is how bug reports should be (including the research where you tried it without the swimlanes) !

Thanks for filing the bug.
I will try again after the v5.5 engine is released.

Hello, I resume this post because i have the same problem with the 5.5 engine version.
Isn't this bug already fixed?

Regards
Simone

the issue referred to is still open, so it is clearly not fixed

Hi,

I used the activiti modeler based on signavio to draw a simple diagram with a swim lane inside the diagram but the resulting bpmn20.xml file cannot be deployed on the engine version 5.3…..My question is, is there anything wrong with the xml files generated?
I keep comparing the xml file with the xml in section 7.1.2 from the pdf available from http://www.omg.org/cgi-bin/doc?dtc/10-06-02 but I don't see anything wrong…
Note that the activiti modeler that I used is customized a little bit. But still, I don't see anything wrong with the xml file so it doesn't seem that the customization is the cause of error.

Or is it because the activiti engine currently does not support the existence of swimlane?

I also have a problem with activiti 5.10, if I use this XML file and activiti explorer to deploy: but it' seems, that other exception will be thrown:NullPointerException.
I looked at JIRA (Activiti, ACT-738), this swimlane-Bug has the status Resolved , but the fix has no info about release, only Fix Version/s: Sooner..

P.S
The exception stack trace

Can you post the XML you're referring to in a code-block? Or perhaps attach it to the existing issue and reopen, if your problem remains…

Can you tell me if the import issue with swimlanes has been resolved?

Also is there a workaround to this import issue with swimlanes?
