Business Rule Task is not fired

[khaled012]

Hello All,

I'm testing a process that contains a business rule task.
My steps was:
1. I updated activiti.cfg.xml
   <property name="customPostDeployers">
      <list>
        <bean class="org.activiti.engine.impl.rules.RulesDeployer" />
      </list>
    </property>

2. I added the drools jars to activiti-rest lib folder (drools-api , drools-compiler , drools-core , mvel2)

3. I packaged my java beans and delegates then I copied it to activiti-rest lib folder

4. I packaged my bpmn , forms , drl files into one bar then I uploaded it using activiti-probe

and I have 2 problems :
1. The rule is not fired.
2. The Business Rule task doesn't appear in the process diagram.

does any one here faced these problems ?

Hi,

Please post the BPMN 2.0 XML file.
Did you create the XML with the Activiti Designer or by hand?

Hi trademak,

I'm using the BPMN 2.0 xml file from the project you attached in this topic http://forums.activiti.org/en/viewtopic.php?f=6&t=1266

Hi ,

is this problem should be reported as a bug in the Activiti Engine?

Best Regards,

[ronald_van_kuij]

not yet. I think you should wait for feedback from Tijs (trademak)

[trademak]

Hi,

You say that you packaged the JAR files and the BAR file.
Could you please post them to this thread?
If you have a source project to share that would also be good to have.

Thanks,

[khaled012]

Hi ,

Thanks for your reply.
I attached the eclipse project and the deployment artifacts.

Hi ,

I just tested this process on Activiti 5.5 and it worked well (but the business rule task doesn't appear in the process diagram).

can it be configured to run on Activiti 5.6 ?

Best Regards,
