I found the answer what I was looking. I'm using Context to retrieve that information.


Context.getExecutionContext().getProcessDefinition().getId()

List <ProcessDefinition> ls = processEngine.getRepositoryService().createProcessDefinitionQuery().processDefinitionKeyLike("testprocess").latestVersion().list();
String processDefinitionId = ls.get(0).getId();

Hello,

I have very similar situation:


        for (ProcessInstance prins : mainProceList) {
            if (prins != null && prins instanceof ExecutionEntity ){
              ProcessDefinitionImpl def = ((ExecutionEntity) prins).getProcessDefinition(); //…..
…
           }
…

one .getProcessDefinition() I get NPE:

java.lang.NullPointerException
at org.activiti.engine.impl.persistence.entity.ExecutionEntity.ensureProcessDefinitionInitialized(ExecutionEntity.java:662)
at org.activiti.engine.impl.persistence.entity.ExecutionEntity.getProcessDefinition(ExecutionEntity.java:647)
…..

If I have current ProcessInstence how to get process definition? It's possible get proce.definition avoiding repositoryService nad additional querying?

Regards,
Mindaugas

No, not in service task Delegate implementation.
