Thanks for reading. Your model and process definition look okay to me. I noticed in your spring config you are using extension.bootstrap. Could it be that you've got another spring config somewhere (or in an AMP) that also uses extension.bootstrap and is therefore overwriting your model change?

You probably want to use "xact.dictionaryBootstrap" and "xact.workflowBootstrap" instead of "extension." to keep that from happening.

Another thought is, have you used the workflow console to verify that the version of the process definition you think is deployed is actually the one that got deployed?

   <property-sheet>
      <show-property name="xactwf:helloName" />
   </property-sheet>
</config>
