Exception while initializing process engine Can't debug

Hello,

I am trying to initialize the activiti engine through a jsp scriptlet and I keep receiving this error from the console :

INFO: Exception while initializing process engine Smiley Surprisedrg/springframework/beans/factory/support/BeanDefinitionRegistry

when I try to debug I manage to dig until the following call inside the file : ProcessEngines.class :

private static  ProcessEngine buildProcessEngine(URL resource) {
    InputStream inputStream = null;
    try {
      inputStream = resource.openStream();
      ProcessEngineConfiguration processEngineConfiguration = ProcessEngineConfiguration.createProcessEngineConfigurationFromInputStream(inputStream);
      return processEngineConfiguration.buildProcessEngine();
     
    } catch (IOException e) {
      throw new ActivitiException("couldn't open resource stream: "+e.getMessage(), e);
    } finally {
      IoUtil.closeSilently(inputStream);
    }
  }

The problem is that I can't step into   .createProcessEngineConfigurationFromInputStream(inputStream);
to find out what is going on, because when hitting "step into" the debugger jumps to the finally section.
( I have already tried to enable breakpoints inside the function createProcessEngineConfigurationFromInputStream  ) it just keeps moving on to the finally section.

Apparently another exception is being fired…other than IOException. I can't see clearly what the exception is because this call : createProcessEngineConfigurationFromInputStream   does not throws any exception

Thank you for your time! Smiley Happy

Are you using Maven? If so, the class should be automatically on your classpath.

If you are not using a dependency mgmt system like Maven, you need to make sure the jar with the class is on your classpath. The error  tells you that 'org/springframework/core/io/Resource' is *not* on the classpath.
