hello world

[sarra1]

Hi, I'm a beginner in activiti , i try to run a simple process hello world:


import org.activiti.DbProcessEngineBuilder;
import org.activiti.ProcessEngine;
import org.activiti.ProcessService;



public class RunProcess {

   public static void main(String [ ] args){
      //First, boot up the process engine:
      ProcessEngine processEngine = new DbProcessEngineBuilder().configureFromPropertiesResource("activiti.properties").buildProcessEngine();
      ProcessService processService = processEngine.getProcessService();

      //To run the process, it first need to be ‘deployed’ to the engine.
      //Deploying means that the process is parsed and stored in the Activiti database:
      processService.createDeployment().addClasspathResource("hello-world.bpmn20.xml").deploy();

      //execute the process
      processService.startProcessInstanceByKey("helloWorld");
      }
      }

Well, the exception is pretty clear: it can't find your process file.

Where is this file? Are you using maven? etc …
