Hi Activiti Team

Can you please tell me I am posting this kind of query in the wrong post? I really need a solution and no one from your team seems to reply.

A bit of patience would be nice …

Anyway, I don't see anything wrong. Are you sure that the process xml are part of your war file?
Does 'classpath*:/processes.*.bpmn20.xml' matches your process filename?

Hi

Sorry, no reply I was thinking that you don't seem to respond.

Yes, that's correct the process xml is part of the war file. The war file structure is:

WEB-INF/processes/SendEProcess.bpmn20.xml

I also tried removing this from the WEB-INF and putting the processes folder on the classpath but no difference.

Not sure what to do.

Hi

Just to be clear, it works in a standalone application but not as part of the WAR file.

It feels to me that something is wrong with the classpath:*… expression. Did you try references the process without wildcards? Or put the bpmn20.ml straight away in the WEB-INF and using *.bpmn20.xml (as in the spring examples)

Hi

I have tried all this. Look at the classpath entry below:


 <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
 <classpath>
  <classpathentry kind="src" path="src/main/java"/>
 <classpathentry kind="src" path="processes"/>
  <classpathentry kind="con" path="org.eclipse.jdt.launching.JRE_CONTAINER/org.eclipse.jdt.internal.debug.ui.launcher.StandardVMType/JavaSE-1.6"/>
  <classpathentry kind="con" path="org.eclipse.m2e.MAVEN2_CLASSPATH_CONTAINER"/>
  <classpathentry kind="output" path="target/classes"/>
 </classpath>

The deployment folder exists with the bar and jar created.


<property name="deploymentResources" value="classpath*:/processes.*.bpmn20.xml"/>

I have tried removing classpath. I tried putting directly under WEB-INF but still cannot find it.

Actaully, I don't want this to be on the classpath as this is a web application. I have a folder called processes under WEB-INF. I would like it to find it from here. What should go inside this folder just the .bpmn20.xml? Or also include the .bar?

Is this correct:


<property name="deploymentResources" value="/WEB-INF/processes.*.bpmn20.xml"/>

I hope you can help.

The classpath you posted is an Eclipse classpath, not the web application classpath. So it has no influence on your webapp, as I don't know how you build your webapp.

I'm not sure your resources config is correct (see http://stackoverflow.com/questions/3294423/spring-classpath-prefix-difference).
Here's how one of our examples look like:


  <property name="deploymentResources" value="classpath*:/org/activiti/spring/test/autodeployment/autodeploy.*.bpmn20.xml" />

Note the asterix BEFORE the '/'

Hi

Ok, do you have any examples of using Activiti inside a webapp with Spring? I can't seem to find any. All the examples provided by Activiti are all standalone applications.

Have a look at this: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/793917/is-web-inf-in-the-classpath

Where should these proceses be located .bpmn20.xml be located inside a web application. I am sure you can help here.

Ok, I'm planning to write a Spring example blog anyway. So this week you should see something appearing on my blog about that.
