Compensation Mechanism

[gokceng]

Hi,
I've been trying compensation in my very simple process but I couldn't make it work. I'm looking at http://activiti.org/userguide/#bpmnBoundaryCompensationEvent

You can look at my process definition here:

service.* classes are plain extensions of JavaDelegate and consist of System.out.println calls.

I'm getting this error:

org.activiti.engine.ActivitiException: cvc-complex-type.2.4.a: Invalid content was found starting with element 'serviceTask'.

I couldn't find the problem here, I couldn't compensation examples anywhere also, they are just XML snippets.
I need to unit test this compensation issue, too. How can I make process instance to be compensated?

Best is to check our unit test processes for compensate events: https://github.com/Activiti/Activiti/tree/master/modules/activiti-engine/src/test/resources/org/acti...
