Problem with simple workflow

I'm trying to write simple workflow and run it on Alfresco Share.these are workflow definition and context files:simpleTask.bpmn<blockcode><?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?><definitions xmlns="http://www.omg.org/spec/BPMN/20100524/MODEL" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XML

Can you please change the redeploy property to true(simpleTas-workflow-context.xml) and try again.

You will keep getting an older error until you set redeploy to true.

done that.
only thing that changed is error code in share.log file:
WebScriptException code is now 01140000, otherwise same exception with same stack trace

Another thing which I noticed is activiti:formKey="bpm:workflowTask". I do not think you can have a bpm:xxx as the formkey. You will need to use something like - wf:activitiReviewTask or something equivalent as the formkey. Or if you have defined your own custom model, you can use that.

to answer my own question.

this problem is version specific. after upgrading alfresco from 4.2.c to 4.2.e problem resolved.
