Can not See Task in Activiti Explorer

[tulipneo]

Hi List,
I m very new to Activiti.
I am trying to learn this through the manning book and i was going through the sample programs.
I executed successfully BookOrderTest.java in chapter 1.
My code are as bellow.

public class BookOrderTest {   
   @Test
   public void startBookOrder() {
      ProcessEngine processEngine = ProcessEngineConfiguration.createStandaloneInMemProcessEngineConfiguration()   
          .buildProcessEngine();       
      RepositoryService repositoryService = processEngine.getRepositoryService();
      RuntimeService runtimeService = processEngine.getRuntimeService();
      IdentityService identityService = processEngine.getIdentityService();
      TaskService taskService = processEngine.getTaskService();
      repositoryService.createDeployment().addClasspathResource("chapter1/bookorder.bpmn20.xml").deploy();
      
      // remove tasks already present
            List<Task> availableTaskList = taskService.createTaskQuery().taskName("Work on order").list();
            for (Task task : availableTaskList) {
             taskService.complete(task.getId());
          }   
      
            Map<String, Object> variableMap = new HashMap<String, Object>();
            variableMap.put("isbn", "123456");
            identityService.setAuthenticatedUserId("kermit");
            ProcessInstance processInstance = runtimeService.startProcessInstanceByKey(
                  "bookorder", variableMap);            
            assertNotNull(processInstance.getId());
            System.out.println("id " + processInstance.getId() + " " + processInstance.getProcessDefinitionId());            
            List<Task> taskList = taskService.createTaskQuery().taskName("Work on order").list();
            System.out.println("size"+ taskList.size());
            assertEquals(1, taskList.size());
            System.out.println("found task " + taskList.get(0).getName());
   }
}

The output in Console are as bellowAs expected):
validating order for isbn 123456
id 4 bookorder:1:3
size1
found task Work on order

My xml file bookorder.bpmn20.xml structure is as bellow:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<definitions xmlns="http://www.omg.org/spec/BPMN/20100524/MODEL"
      targetNamespace="http://www.bpmnwithactiviti.org">

      <userTask id="usertask1" name="Work on order">

      <sequenceFlow id="sequenceflow3" name="Ending process" sourceRef="usertask1" targetRef="endevent1"/>
      <endEvent id="endevent1" name="End"/>
   </process>
</definitions>


From eclipse console i see the task is created but i dont see the task in Activiti Explorere.

Any help or advice is welcome
Thanks n Regards

That's because the task is created in an in-memory database. So if you change it to for example a standalone H2 database for both the unit test as well as the Activiti Explorer it should work.
