activiti.cfg.xml not getting picked up from activiti-rest webapp

[shuchi]

Hi,

I have put activiti.cfg.xml in WEB-INF/classes directory of activiti-rest webapp which I have deployed in Tomcat. I have put email configuration inside it:

   <bean id="processEngineConfiguration"
      class="org.activiti.engine.impl.cfg.StandaloneProcessEngineConfiguration">
      <property name="mailServerHost" value="smtp.sendgrid.net" />
      <property name="mailServerUsername" value="user" />
      <property name="mailServerPassword" value="123" />
   </bean>

But the mail properties are not getting picked up. I am presuming the default way of initialising ProcessEngine is being used and this spring config is not being read.

Please help!

Thanks,
Shuchi

To add, I am using the provided activiti-explorer and activiti-rest webapps and have put activiti.cfg.xml inside both. Also, I have tried adding mail.host, mail.username, mail.password properties in engine.properties file of activiti-explorer webapp where process engine is getting initialized. But neither way is working out.

Ya I actually downgraded to 5.16.3, wasn't sure if 5.17 also would work.

It appears that this really does not work on 5.16.4.

Do update to 5.17 , you will have activiti-custom-context.xml …
