Hi,

Looks like an error slipped into our barTask, which presumes when no ProcessEngine is found for the given name, but a ProcessEngineInfo exists, that an error occured while initializing. In this code, no null-check is performed to see if the exception string is empty. I'll create an issue for this.

Since there is no exception stacktrace available in the ProcessEngineInfo I suspect something else is wrong. Did you set the "processEngineName" property on the <deploy-bar tag to (in your case) "activiti-engine-dev"? If not set, it used default process engine name.

No, I didn't set anything. Please let's me know if you create a jira issue, so that I can track it too.

Thanks,

You should set the property "processEngineName" in <barTask to "activiti-engine-dev", since that is the name of your engine (as configured in activiti.cfg.xml), otherwise the BAR deploys to the default engine (which isn't present). This way, it will work for you, regardless of the issue about the nullpointer.

The issue about the NullPointer (instead of a better error-message) is here http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/ACT-308.

Ok, I will try it out and revert to you later.

Thanks.
