Workflows not Starting

nyorai — Sun, 07 Jul 2013 12:10:50 GMT

I'm completely new to Alfresco but I'm really struggling to work out where I'm going wrong with Activiti workflows. I have tried to follow Jeff's simple hello world example and I've created the BPMN file in Eclipse using Activiti Designer fine. I'm using Eclipse Kepler(20130614-0229) with Designer 5

I've found a solution to my problem, only to discover a new one. My initial problem seems to be caused by Activiti Designer replacing

class="org.alfresco.repo.workflow.activiti.listener.ScriptExecutionListener"‍

with

class="org.alfresco.repo.workflow.activiti.tasklistener.ScriptTaskListener"‍

- not sure if that is a bug.

Now everything works as expected, I can start the workflow from the console and I can use it within Alfresco Explorer, except when I try to use it from within Alfresco Share. Do I need to do something extra to make it work in Share?

It's not me! It's 4.2c's fault! I downgraded to 4.2b as mentioned <a href="http://forums.alfresco.com/forum/developer-discussions/workflow/cant-run-activiti-wf-alfresco-42c-nullpointerexception-02202013">here</a> and everything works as per the tutorial.
