Activiti and Grails

[sweeneymj]

Hi,

I am currently working on a project integrating grails and activiti. I am using the following versions:

grails 2.0.3
activiti 5.8.3

during startup the application terminates with the stacktrace below. I have tried everything I can think of - clearing my .grails folder, the ivy cache, building from a fresh checkout of code but I nothing works. Any assistance or pointers would be appreciated.

Looks like the JSR223-provider in your class path is jot what activiti expects. Are you running Java 6?

Hi,

yes I am.

Hi,

yes. Below is the plugin info (I see that I put the wrong version in my original post):

I haven't really got a clue, since I don't know the grails plugin code.
It seems from the stacktrace, another version for the groovy scripting is used … has something changed there recently in Grails?

Hi, may be a bit late for this discussion but i want to add a comment on this issue, i'm using grails-activiti plugin with these versions:
grails version: 2.1.1
compile 'org.activiti:activiti-engine:5.10'
compile 'org.activiti:activiti-spring:5.10'
and i get the same error –> java.lang.ClassCastException: org.codehaus.groovy.jsr223.GroovyScriptEngineFactory cannot be cast to javax.script.ScriptEngineFactory
I think there is a conflict between jdk1.7 and groovy, livetribe-jssr223 has the same implementation and it makes the conflict

so i want to ask is there any one who solved this conflict ? may be some exclutions can be solved or version changes

regards
Mehmet

[jbarrez]

Did you try without livetribe? In recent versions of Activiti, the livertribe dependency has been removed.

Also (not from Grails), we now need to use groovy-all instead of groovy.jar.

Hope that helps.

when i made your sugessted exclusion, result is above

I don't get that 'unresolved' thing, why would it influence spring-test?

What exactly did you change?
