Whoops, didn't use code blocks…

<code>
    <receiveTask id="waitAPI" name="Wait for API response">
      <extensionElements>
          <activiti:executionListener event="end" class="com.____.executionListeners.DeleteTasksOnMessageReceive">
            <activiti:field name="deleteTaskDefinitionKey">
              <activiti:string><![CDATA[test]]></activiti:string>
            </activiti:field>
          </activiti:executionListener>
        </extensionElements>
      </receiveTask>
</code>

Hi,


Caused by: java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: com.____.executionListeners.DeleteTasksOnMessageReceive

Did you add class to the classpath?

I think my comment is waiting approval from mods but going to post an update anyway.

Yes, the class is in the class path, which explains why it works when event="start" but it doens't work on event="end".

Until now, I've been working with the REST API to send a "action": "signal" to an execution. I have my execution listener on event="start". When I do a PUT /executions/{executionId} with "action": "signal", it works fine.

But when I use Java processEngine.getRuntimeService().signal(executionId); it throws the same class not found error.
Why would it work with the restAPI but no the java call (with the same executionId)…

This is such a confusing case and I'm wondering if there are inconsistencies between the REST API vs Java. Both are are 5.17.0.

Hi,

Could you create failing jUnit test please?
