Activiti 5.9 with Spring 1.2.9 possible?

[cookie-exploit]

Hello Guys,

is it possible to use Activiti with Spring 1.2.9? If it is not possible, which is the lowest spring version i need?
If I use Spring 1.2.9 I've a problem with the SpringProcessEngineConfiguration and the dataSource property.

applicationContext.xml:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE beans PUBLIC "-//SPRING//DTD BEAN//EN" "http://www.springframework.org/dtd/spring-beans.dtd">

<beans>

   <bean id="dataSource" class="org.apache.commons.dbcp.BasicDataSource">
      <property name="driverClassName" value="com.mysql.jdbc.Driver" />
      <property name="url" value="jdbc:mysql://localhost:3306/activiti" />
      <property name="username" value="root" />
      <property name="password" value="root" />
   </bean>

   <bean id="processEngineConfiguration" class="org.activiti.spring.SpringProcessEngineConfiguration">
      <property name="dataSource" ref="dataSource" />
      <property name="transactionManager" ref="transactionManager" />
      <property name="databaseSchemaUpdate" value="true" />
      <property name="jobExecutorActivate" value="false" />
      <property name="deploymentResources" value="classpath:*/tutorial/diagram/SingleApprover.bpmn20.xml" />
   </bean>
   …
</beans>

Error Message:

org.springframework.beans.factory.BeanCreationException: Error creating bean with name 'processEngineConfiguration' defined in class path resource [applicationContext.xml]: Error setting property values; nested exception is org.springframework.beans.NotWritablePropertyException: Invalid property 'dataSource' of bean class [org.activiti.spring.SpringProcessEngineConfiguration]: Bean property 'dataSource' is not writable or has an invalid setter method: Does the parameter type of the setter match the return type of the getter?

EDIT: We now use Spring 3.x, problem is solved.

The version activiti 5.9 uses is 3.0.5. I Presume there are older versions where it will run on, but no guarantees on that.

I think your version of spring doesn't support setters that return a value, as most of the ProcessEngineConfiguration setters are to allow chaining when used in code… So probably the first version that can cope with those, is the smallest version activiti needs for the error you have, not sure about other stuff off course.

Anyway, if you're stuck at 1.2.9, I think it's time to upgrade. Spring has a good reputation of being backwards-compatible…

Thanks for reply.

I have done a mistake, I have copied the wrong spring.jar from our project, this was a .jar which is no longer used.
The version we actually use is 2.5.6, but with this version i have another error.

If no one have a idea with this error, then I had to told the project leader, that we need Spring 3.
Have anyone an idea?
