Custom BPMN Parser not working after 5.15.1 Updates

[mittalabhi86]

Hi,

In my application, I have written a couple of custom BPMN parsers to validate the bpmn file during deployment.

Those used to work fine till I was running 5.14, but since I have updated the activiti 5.15.1, these aren't working.

What I noticed was BpmnModel.addProblem() has been removed, and addError() of same class is not reporting the errors to client. I mean, errors get added to ErrorMap in BpmnModel, yet the deployment process doesn't fail.

Please suggest, do we have another alternative method on for addProblem() ?

Hi,

There's a new module named activiti-process-validation which now centralizes all validation logic. So if you would like to add your own validation logic you should inject your own ProcessValidator instance into the process engine configuration.

Hi,
Thanks for reverting back!

Just wanted to check, if there is any user guide/reference material for this new module added.

Also, following is the code snippet that illustrates how I set my custom parse validator. It was working till 5.14.

<code>processEngineConfigurationImpl.setPostBpmnParseHandlers(Lists.newArrayList(topicValidationParser));</code>

Where,

processEngineConfigurationImpl is the instance of Process Engine Configuration,
and topicValidationParser is instance of custom parser validator.

You don't need to inject it in the parse handlers. See ProcessEngineConfigurationImpl.setProcessValidator()
