Deploying .bpmn20.xml Into War file Spring MVC

[rj1]

Hi

I am created a Spring MVC application and created an Activiti database by running the DbSchemaCreate.main(). Actaully my processes don't seem to deploy on the war file. When Tomcat starts the ProcessEngine is started through Spring and works. I can access the RuntimeService. The code can be seen below:

web.xml

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<web-app xmlns="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/j2ee"
       xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
       xsi:schemaLocation="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/j2ee http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/j2ee/web-app_2_5.xsd"
       version="2.5">
       
       <display-name>WebApp</display-name>
       
       <context-param>
          <!– Specifies the list of Spring Configuration files in comma separated format.–>
          <param-name>contextConfigLocation</param-name>
          <param-value>/WEB-INF/spring/activiti.xml
          </param-value>
       </context-param>
       
       <listener>
          <!– Loads your Configuration Files–>

          <servlet-class>org.springframework.web.servlet.DispatcherServlet</servlet-class>
          <load-on-startup>1</load-on-startup>
       </servlet>
       
       <servlet-mapping>
          <servlet-name>example</servlet-name>
          <url-pattern>/</url-pattern>
       </servlet-mapping>
       
       <welcome-file-list>
          <welcome-file>index.jsp</welcome-file>
       </welcome-file-list>

The automatic resosource deployment is not being deployed. I have also tried through the code to deploy but it throws an Exception:

repositoryService.createDeployment().addClasspathResource("SendEProcess.bpmn20.xml").deploy();
runtimeService.startProcessInstanceByKey("sendEProcess", mapOfProcessVariables);

org.springframework.web.util.NestedServletException: Request processing failed; nested exception is org.activiti.engine.ActivitiException: resource 'SendEProcess.bpmn20.xml' not found

How can this resource be located inside the webapp?

Ok, I'm planning to write a Spring example blog anyway. So this week you should see something appearing on my blog about that.
