Activiti 5.12 and textAnnotation

brianshowers — Thu, 21 Mar 2013 21:31:41 GMT

After upgrading to Activiti 5.12, I see the following logged every time it parses a process that uses the <textAnnotation> field:2013-03-21 19:13:19 WARN org.activiti.engine.impl.bpmn.parser.BpmnParse Invalid reference in diagram interchange definition: could not find textannotation1‍‍‍This d

This is just a warning I presume, deploying it works fine? We're not parsing text-anotations in the process since they don't have any runtime value. Since it has a diagram-element associated to it (which we do parse) it will double-check the reference.

If it's just a warning, you can ignore this.

It is just a warning, but it's not something that we saw when using Activiti 5.11. I also tried removing the association and I still got the warning.

If I start ignoring these warnings, is there a way to configure the parser so that we can tell the difference between warnings that we should pay attention to and warnings that we should ignore? I'd hate to just start ignoring all warnings because then something might happen that we ignore but shouldn't.

Since it's a warning that is actually not supposed to be shown (since there is actually a text-annotation element in the process, but just ignored by activiti), this is something we need to fix.

Hello,

we are seeing the same with
- association
- lane
- pool

We have made the diagram with the activiti Designer. Maybe it could be made so that the Designer produces xml that does not lead to these warnings.

Would be sooo cool if you could fix that.

Also we are getting

Why do you say, we see the same with association, pool and lane? This is a different error message.
Can you add your process definition?

Best regards,

saatsch — Fri, 13 Sep 2013 14:24:46 GMT

OK I cured the NPE. For some reason there was an orphan process tag in the process definition: (process_pool1) (The definition was created with the activiti designer)

<code>
<process id="process_pool1" name="process_pool1" isExecutable="true">
    <laneSet id="laneSet_process_pool1">
      <lane id="lane1"></lane>
    </laneSet>
</process>
<process id="pName" name="p Name" isExecutable="true">
    <laneSet id="laneSet_pName">
      <lane id="lane2" name="xxx">
        <flowNodeRef>startevent1</flowNodeRef>
        <flowNodeRef>exclusivegateway1</flowNodeRef>
        <flowNodeRef>boundaryerror1</flowNodeRef>
</code>

After deleting it, the NPE is gone.
I also tried to recreate the situation, but could not.
I will keep on trying for a little while and let you know when I can recreate it.

Btw Tijs: I bought your book 🙂
