Assign Task by Lane's name

[fcaloni]

Hi all,
  I'm trying to create a custom Activiti workflow in Alfresco 4.0.d. I designed a workflow with Activiti BPMN 2.0 Eclipse Plugin.

I need to create a workflow with Pool and Lane where I assign a task to a group by Lane's name.

The editor allows me to do it, so I assume it is something correct in the modeling of a process.

When I deploy the  workflow, I receive the following error.

7:00:56,917 ERROR [org.springframework.web.context.ContextLoader] Context initialization failed

It this an error of the modeler, which should not allow me to do such an assignment, or is it a problem with the workflow engine?

Can you help me? What am I doing wrong? 

Find at the end of the message the workflow definition giving the described error.

Thank for your time.

Hello,

swimlanes for assignment are not supported in Activiti AFAIK. In the Activiti modeler, I think this is only a UI / layout utility. Please refer to the BPM-4 session slides from last years DevCon, slide #21.
