we tried to build the sample from the activiti screencast w-jax 2010 (http://www.bpm-guide.de/2010/11/19/camunda-w-jax-2010-screencasts-video/). We’ve modeled a process, created a maven project and written the java-classes. The tasks of our model execute the according class. The component-test with JUnit works fine and our classes run as well. Then we tried to call the process from the activiti-explorer. We build a form and deployed our process (deploy.bar, deploy.jar) with the build.xml to the ant-server. The process is visible in the explorer and when clicking “Start Form” our form appears. But the functions of our classes are not executed (simple System.outs). In the eclipse ant-window the error-message “Reference classpath not found” is shown (as shown in the picture). Now we don’t know how to handle the error and how to continue. We would appreciate your help.
The eclipse warning you get is normal, since the classpath is resolved at ant-runtime (using variables). Can you check if the jar, containing your .class files is present in the tomcat/webapps/activiti-rest/lib/ folder?
Also, after having deployed the jar-file, your tomcat should be restarted to load the new classes (if you are using custom JavaDelegates eg).
