Among other things, this is supposed to launch a stand-alone H2 instance also Tomcat etc.I can't find this in the current version. What equivalent actio

Hi,

This question has to do specifically with the Manning book however as I can't find a forum expressly for that I will post as a follow up to my earlier question.

So I've discovered that some of the code that comes with the book is incompatible with the latest version of Activiti. The biggest problem is that there is a package of annotations org.activiti.spring.annotations this is no longer there. I was wondering if it's worthwhile to try to migrate the book source code for compatibility with the lastest version. In particular how would the bits that use these annotations be implemented now?

If not, what is the latest version of Activiti that supports the code in the book?

Sorry if this is a foolish question but I just thought I'd ask!

Hi John,

Which code example are you referring to?
I can give it a shot to migrate it to the latest release.

Best regards,

Hi Tijs,

For example, org.bpmnwithactiviti.chapter9.ProcessInitiator uses annotations from org.activiti.spring.annotations.* that seem to no longer exist.

Also, org.activiti.engine.impl.util.LogUtil is gone and I don't see an obvious replacement.

Other bits I think I can sort out on my own e.g. the LDAP API.

Thanks for your help!

Thanks for sharing this. I hope I find some time to make some changes to the code in the coming weeks as well.
