Activiti 5.9 can't deploy process definition w/ BPMNDiagram

chris_joelly — Sat, 17 Mar 2012 20:03:12 GMT

Hello,i just upgraded to 5.9 and it seems that simple processes are not deployable anymore. It seems that the parser does not see the process definition when it parses the BPMNDiagram information.[#|2012-03-17T19:45:06.121+0100|INFO|glassfish3.1.1|org.activiti.engine.impl.bpmn.deployer.BpmnDeployer|

it seems the isExecutable="false" should be set to true, otherwise the process definition is not parsed and not known when the parser works on the diagram information.

Right, that's the solution. This has changed from 5.8 to 5.9.

Best regards,

@chris.joelly
Activiti Modeler has some option that set the isExecutable attribte?

As far as I searched the modeler ui, I have not see any option for it. Ideally, I would like to see the option of marking the process executable in the process global properties, may be in the properties pane on the right. I may be wrong. hope someone would figure out the right ui element to set this.

BTW, I made few hacks to the original modeler code and repackaged it to work in a Apache Karaf OSGi container at [1], where I had to modify the java code to hard code executable attribute to true in bpmn serialization. I think, this may not be something that you want to use in your environment, but an FYI.

hi @all,

what i did was to set the property via the xml file directly. but it would be nice of course if it could be set via the Modeler. A default of false in the Modeler does not make sense i think as we model for Activiti and they should be executable for sure
If designer set to true i can not tell, because i can not generate the BPMN file out of the .activiti file in my setup.
