That's not the Activiti Designer (Eclipse plugin) but the Modeler.
Which process model do you want to open with the Modeler?
The error message is that there's a j value instead of a boolean value. Do you see that somewhere in your process model?

Best regards,

Hi,

Do you see a Javascript error when using Firebug?
Does the modeler not open if you create a new model?

Best regards,

modeler create new model but you can not edit it

So you have deployed the modeler on your website at http://www.itexo.de ?
It can't reach http://www.itexo.de/activiti/service/model/206/json so there's something wrong in your deployment.
Did you try to do it local first?

If you get a 500 on http://www.itexo.de/activiti/service/model/206/json then there's something wrong with the Modeler REST service
Did you change some configuration? I see you changed the webapp context for example.

yes, i change db.properties and context path but should work independent from the root context?

Hi,

it was my mistake. first time as i run the explorer, i did generate the activiti database from the sql scripts file ( i totaly forgot about it). and the error was trying to run the explorer with the demos configured in the spring context .

after creating new empty database and restart tomcat works fine.

best regards

The 5.11.1 really doesn't work - try copying "Add sales opportunity.bpmn20.xml" (Activiti in Action chp.7), change to"Add sales opportunity.bpmn" and …. the designer shows empty screen. No any BPMN elements at all. Are there any workarounds for his?

I've just downgraded to designer 5.9.3

(using Eclipse Indigo Service Release 2)

Hi,

The problem is that the old Activiti Modeler automatically adds isExecutable="false" to the process element.
If you change false into true, it's opening fine. I'll try and fix this issue, because the Designer should of course also open definitions with isExecutable="false"

Best regards,
