Hi,

A JavaDelegate in Activiti is instantiated using reflection so no annotation will get processed on that class. You have to do a lookup of the EJB via the InitialContext instead.

Best regards,

It is instantiated using reflection if i use activiti:class="com.example.classname".

There is a whole component of activiti (activiti-cdi) that takes care of injection. The chapter "Contextual Process Execution with CDI" in the userguide states for example:
"…Activiti-cdi exposes CDI beans to activiti El, using a custom resolver. This makes it possible to reference beans from the process…"

This is exactly what i need - in forumposts here i found during my research i also read that this "custom resolver" is in place for CDI beans out of the box - as opposed to EJB, which are not supported.

What does this mean, if not what i am trying to do?

Thanks for the quick answer,
Regards,
