Activiti 5.7. Instantiating my own classes

[partizano]

Hi, Activiti Team!

Is there difference in instantiating custom classes in version 5.6 and 5.7?
In version 5.6 I generated the .jar file by Eclipse, put it into directory <activiti home>\apps\apache-tomcat-6.0.32\webapps\activiti-rest\WEB-INF\lib\, and all worked fine.
Then I moved to new version of Activiti - 5.7, and done all the same steps, but my classes are not available. Exception is:

Any help, please…

Are you using the explorer webapp? If so, the libs should be placed in the explorer's lib, not the REST one (REST is no longer used for explorer).

Hi,

Or you may put all your libs in the tomcat/lib directory.

BR,

Thanks a lot!!!
