Is there a demo that works?

[coderchris]

I've been following the 10 minute demo (here: http://activiti.org/userguide/index.html#10minutetutorial) and I wanted to know if there is a demo that actually works. My upper management wants a demo of BPM in general and Activiti specifically, but I can't get the code to work. It just errors out:

org.h2.jdbc.JdbcSQLException: Connection is broken: "java.net.ConnectException: Connection refused: connect: localhost" [90067-170]
   at org.h2.message.DbException.getJdbcSQLException(DbException.java:329)
   at org.h2.message.DbException.get(DbException.java:158)
   at org.h2.engine.SessionRemote.connectServer(SessionRemote.java:399)
   at org.h2.engine.SessionRemote.connectEmbeddedOrServer(SessionRemote.java:287)

I can get the demo setup working, but even that has issues (it refuses to work in Firefox now; I had to switch to Chrome, which handles it). Is there a quick demo somewhere that actually works?

Hi everybody, I apologize for my late response.
I submitted the article to CodeProject. The article is this:
http://www.codeproject.com/Tips/699392/Step-by-Step-your-First-journey-with-Activiti

I hope it will be useful. Don't hesitate with your feedback.
Cheers.
P.S. In January 2014, the 8th, 9th and 10th I will attend an Activiti course in Genova, Italy, with someone of the Activiti team.
I look forward for this.
Andrea

Thanks Andrea, posted a reference on my blog so it will appear in the article list on the Activiti homepage.
