Activiti Explorer Failing from logging in

sid121091 — Wed, 22 Jul 2015 06:41:20 GMT

Hi,I am new to this, and I apologise in advance if I am not presenting my problem correctly.Every time I log in to my local activiti explorer, or access anything in it or even try to deploy something, I get the error "Error Parsing XML" along with the following error log. I have searched through the

You have a process definition that is wrong: Could not validate XML with BPMN 2.0 XSD. For some reason it is fetched at login time.
Can you try to delete the faulty process definition?

I have removed all the process definitions available and restarted explorer. Still facing the same issue.

Since you still have the issue then you still have the malformed process definition into your system.
You should put a breakpoint here: DeploymentManager.java line:65 and inspect the parameters of the "findDeployedProcessDefinitionById" method.
this way you'll find exactly which process definition is malformed.

Hi, I tried using a breakpoint at the specified line and found out two deployed processes. However I am unable to deleter the deployed process definition. Can you suggest me how to go ahead about this?

If your data is not important: simply start with a clean database. Otherwise, go into the database and remove the process definitions, and all tables that refer to it. Alternatively, boot up a process engine, pointing it to the same db, and delete the process definition by getting its Deployment and delete the Deployment (with cascade set to 'true')

As suggested I started with a clean database. Removed all the process definitions and tables and data related to it. The deployment is also deleted. Now I am able to log into explorer without the error popping out. So login issue is solved. However when I try to deploy a model, I get the following error message "Create of BPMN XML failed" with the following stack trace.

I am able to log in now but not deploy a process

Re: Activiti Explorer Failing from logging in

vasile_dirla — Thu, 06 Aug 2015 11:41:15 GMT

could you post here the xml of the process you want to deploy ?

Re: Activiti Explorer Failing from logging in

sid121091 — Fri, 07 Aug 2015 03:54:05 GMT

I cannot post the xml due to confidentiality issues from my employer. However I also want you to know that the same xml/process is being able to be deployed in other machines. Is there something wrong with my machine or am I missing something?

Re: Activiti Explorer Failing from logging in

vasile_dirla — Fri, 07 Aug 2015 07:12:20 GMT

Since you are able to deploy it other machines, for sure there is something wrong with your setup. (I guess you are using the same activiti version with the machine where is working)

Are you able to deploy other processes and this one is the only one which fails in your machine ?
(if so, just try to simplify it until it becomes deployable and then you'll notice the difference.)

Re: Activiti Explorer Failing from logging in

sid121091 — Sat, 08 Aug 2015 11:17:34 GMT

I tried to deploy a Hello World process definition and even that fails to get deployed!

Re: Activiti Explorer Failing from logging in

vasile_dirla — Sat, 08 Aug 2015 12:20:18 GMT

If it's not too much i suggest you just to start it from 0, with a clean tomcat and a fresh install of Activiti. clean database.
(at least try it in a different machine ,just as a test to see if you will have the same errors in a fresh machine)

Re: Activiti Explorer Failing from logging in

sid121091 — Sat, 08 Aug 2015 14:38:42 GMT

The xml code was not visible. Hence attaching the text file for it

Re: Activiti Explorer Failing from logging in

sid121091 — Sat, 08 Aug 2015 14:39:37 GMT

I did follow your instructions. Started from square one. Reinstalled everything. New tomcat and project and all. Still facing the same issue.

Re: Activiti Explorer Failing from logging in

vasile_dirla — Sat, 08 Aug 2015 17:51:34 GMT

Hi Sid,
first of all please edit the prev. post with the XML (where is not visible) and make it looks normal (hope you have edit permissions)

I'll have a look at this xml and meantime please provide details about your setup:
OS, java version, Activiti version, and how you installed activiti (step by step so i could reproduce exactly your environment)

Re: Activiti Explorer Failing from logging in

vasile_dirla — Sat, 08 Aug 2015 18:15:17 GMT

I verified your xml and I don'r have any error when deploying it.

1. deployed it programatically in a simple application.
2. imported in the explorer application, edit, save and then deployed it successfully. (no errors in the console)

So for sure there is something specific to your setup.
please provide the relevant information about your setup as I already said in the prev. message:
OS, Database, Activiti Version, step by step how you configure it (including config files if possible (you know mask the credentials and ip of your machines.. etc..) )

You started my curiosity and I would like to see what's happening.

Re: Activiti Explorer Failing from logging in

sid121091 — Sat, 08 Aug 2015 19:55:52 GMT

I am glad you are curious about it, because me and my team mates are hitting our heads against the wall regarding this. And I would like to get this solved at the earliest. Anyways the following are the details of my setup.

The setup consists of a console, rest, explorer and core.
JAVA : Version 1.7.0_79
OS : Name - mac os x yosemite, Version - 10.10.4, arch - x86_64
Activiti : Version 5.15.1
Play framework : Version 2.2.6
Elasticsearch : Version 0.90.5
Replaced the elasticsearch.yml file (File attached 'elasticsearch.txt')
MySQL : Version 5.6.25 (For the database)
The database contains content for ACT_ID_USER and ACT_GE_PROPERTY. Just basic information for logging in.
IntelliJ Idea 14 Community Edition
Maven : Version 3.3.3
Added a settings file to .m2 folder (File attached 'settings.txt')
Scala : Version 2.11.7
SBT : Version 0.13.8
Tomcat : Version 7
Already provided you with the XML needed to deploy
I have imported and tried to deploy in the explorer application only.

This is pretty much my setup. Installed and moved the necessary files as mentioned above. Ran the code (maven) and then started activiti explorer application. That is where I end up with this error.

Re: Activiti Explorer Failing from logging in

sid121091 — Sat, 08 Aug 2015 19:58:51 GMT

Note: I have installed activiti on my local, though have not tried it out (Mostly because I am not able to understand the way to do it, inspite of referring so many documents). I deploy the xml on the activit explorer application, accessing the localhost of the company(i guess)!

Re: Activiti Explorer Failing from logging in

vasile_dirla — Sat, 08 Aug 2015 21:05:46 GMT

In your local environment,
just access the explorer application and import the xml, then deploy it and let us know what's happening.

btw: do you have any reason to use 5.15 and not use to 5.18 ?

Re: Activiti Explorer Failing from logging in

sid121091 — Sat, 08 Aug 2015 21:16:23 GMT

To run explorer application, i run the company explorer. To run it on local environment, what do I start first?
I don't think there is any specific reason for 5.15. They started with it and are sticking with it still I guess
