Hi,

A job will only be retried if the retry counter is greater than 0. You can manually restart a job via the API as well. I don't understand your comment about "cannot see the Application Context". Are you using the Activiti REST API to communicate with the Engine?

Best regards,

Thank you for your reply!

I might have dived right into action with the 1-minute version install detailed in the user guide, hence i think it uses REST, as it is included with the downloadeable activiti-webapp.war, but i am not 100% sure. I modified the db connection to use a mysql server on the localhost, therefore i am able to set the retry counter manually. Which i did, and i got the ApplicationContext exception.

I might not have been specific enough, and i apologize for that. The application context is something i set up in the java application, through Spring, therefore, it's lifecycle ends when the application dies.

I managed to restart jobs by having the application on the same tomcat server, as the activiti-explorer is on. But I'm not sure how, or why. Do you think this is a normal situation, or i might be using Activiti wrong?

Can you share the stacktrace of the application context exception you are referring to?
