Spring roo and Activiti

pacozf — Tue, 22 Dec 2015 13:07:24 GMT

Hi, I trying to add activiti process Engine to my Spring roo project. I add the maven activiti dependences to my pom.xml <dependency> <groupId>org.activiti</groupId> <artifactId>activiti-engine</artifactId> <version>5.19.0.1&

Hi, I solve my problem.

It had related with transitive dependence that introduce activiti-spring dependence . I noticed that spring-bean 4 transitive dependence was introduced by activiti-spring (you can see it with mvn dependency:tree command). My version of Spring Roo use the spring version dependencies 3.2.8.RELEASE. Then I have used dependencyManagement in my pom.xml to force spring-bean 3 version. Finally I have Spring Roo working with Activiti.

This is my pom.xml repository and dependencies:

Hi,
yes you are right about the cause:
spring-core v3 have this class but spring-core v4 does NOT have it.

you changed the version of spring-core but I'm not sure you changed also the version of other spring modules:
<code>
       <dependency>
            <groupId>org.springframework</groupId>
            <artifactId>spring-web</artifactId>
            <version>4.1.1.RELEASE</version>
        </dependency>

        <dependency>
            <groupId>org.springframework</groupId>
            <artifactId>spring-webmvc</artifactId>
            <version>4.1.1.RELEASE</version>
        </dependency>
</code>

pacozf — Wed, 23 Dec 2015 09:53:57 GMT

Yes , I tried to change all spring dependencies to 4.1.1.RELEASE, but then when the app render a jsp with a 'form:select' tag, I get the error java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: org.springframework.core.enums.LabeledEnum, maybe because spring 4 don't support LabeledEnum.
Thanks.

pacozf — Wed, 23 Dec 2015 09:57:46 GMT

The problem was that activiti-spring dependence have spring-bean 4 dependency. I solved the problem force spring-bean to version 3 with:
<code>
<dependencyManagement>
     <dependencies>
   <dependency>
    <groupId>org.springframework</groupId>
    <artifactId>spring-beans</artifactId>
    <version>${spring.version}</version>
   </dependency>
</dependencies>
</dependencyManagement>
</code>

spring.version = 3.2.8.RELEASE

Re: Spring roo and Activiti

vasile_dirla — Wed, 23 Dec 2015 09:57:52 GMT

Hmm, can you provide a simple application where I can see this issue in action ?

Re: Spring roo and Activiti

pacozf — Wed, 23 Dec 2015 10:05:36 GMT

You can create a simple web application with Spring Roo and then insert maven activiti dependences.
Now, I have working Spring Roo and Activiti.

This is my pom.xml repository and dependences:
