Error deploying bpmn20.xml

[bhimnanna]

Hi Tijs,

I am deploying :
getRepositoryService().createDeployment()
      .addClasspathResource("resources/tpmbda.bpmn20.xml").deploy();
      ProcessInstance processInstance = getRuntimeService().startProcessInstanceByKey("tpmbda");

It working fine for initial restart of my server (added Activiti engine in my application).

If I restart the my server then (above statements are not executing):
But I am trying get the task definition:
   getRepositoryService().createDeployment().addClasspathResource("resources/tpmbda.bpmn20.xml").deploy();
   Task task = getTaskbyId(MSDIUtil.getUserName(), taskid);
      ProcessDefinition processDefinition = getRepositoryService().createProcessDefinitionQuery()
              .processDefinitionId(task.getProcessDefinitionId()).singleResult();
            
   Map<String, String> formProperties =
         new HashMap<String, String>();
         formProperties.put("remarks", remarks);
         formProperties.put("requestApproved", requestApproved);
         getFormService().submitTaskFormData(taskid, formProperties);

It is throwing following exception:

Nov 11, 2012 7:41:50 AM org.activiti.engine.impl.bpmn.deployer.BpmnDeployer deploy

   at org.activiti.engine.impl.persistence.deploy.DeploymentCache.findDeployedProcessDefinitionById(DeploymentCache.java:53)

Please can you help me to fix this issue.

First of all, this should be in the user forum, but more importantly, just search the internet for error you see. Very common and not (specifically) Activiti related! The xml contains data that in the beginningn of the file that should not be there.

Hi Ronald,

Thanks for your reply.

The bpmn20.xml file is working using activity-explorer, but if I deploy in my web application with spring this issue is exist. The issue may be related to file path of deployment.

Following is the xml file:

Posting the file does not help in these cases. Looking at what spring is actually trying to deploy does… E.g. with a debugger…
