did you include the form resource in the process archive? meaning, the thing you deployed, did it contain both the process resource *and* the form resource in a zip format? …and was the resource named vacationRequest/create or did it have some extension in the deployment?

you also might check with probe the contents of the db to see what is actually in it.

Hi Tom,

There is no physical form resource, I used the activiti:form attribute to indicate where the form (GSP) is located by URI, as I am not using Activiti Explorer.

Is there anyway I can disable the form resource checking?

Alternatively, do you have better suggestion on Activiti and GSP form integration?

Thank you.

i now looked at the stacktrace a little closer. the problem is that you use the method ProcessServiceImpl.getStartFormByKey. That method includes the rendering.

instead you should get the Task object and get the form attribute from there. currently the form attribute is not yet exposed, but it should. please add a jira issue to expose the task form property on the task interface.

in the meantime, a workaround is that you can just cast to a TaskImpl and then access the getter method on the form property.
