is exception handling done properly?

[trivedi]

Hi All,

I am trying to integrate activiti with Drools integration, during the learning process, I identified that when I run my tests there were few "ClassNotFoundExceptions" or "NoClassDefFound" error during runtime. But unfortunately, Activiti doesn't give them as it is, i should run it in debug mode to see what is the exact error from debug window? Not sure, whether it is my environment issue or something else.

Here are my basic questions to Activiti core developers:
- Is this tool is ready for production?
- I had struggles in integrating with Drools. I started debugging the code, but don't know where to start. I agree that without knowing some of the internals of engine impl, it would be difficult to go in this approach. Is there a way to get architecture and design of core engine?
- When is the "GA" version expected to get out?

Thanks,
Trivedi

About the CNFE and NCDE, activiti wraps them in an ActivitiClassLoadingException. You can alway get the cause (CNFE or NCDE) using acle.getCause()…

GA release was released 6 months ago The framework itself is ready for production. Do you have specific problemes with the drools-integration? Maybe someone on the forum can help. It's a bit vague to give pointers when there is just "a problem" with drools

Apologies for my ignorance. Thank you for your quick responses. I have already raised another questions related to drools integration in the forum @ http://forums.activiti.org/en/viewtopic.php?f=6&t=1927

Thanks,
