jbpm eclipse plugin

[xtine]

We are using the jbpm eclipse plugin to create workflows and deploy them to Alfresco. Alfresco generates an error, but all the plugin says is "unexpected exception while receiving response from the server". Using wireshark, I can intercept the message, which is "org.alfresco.service.namespace.NamespaceException: Namespace prefix  bidnwf is not mapped to a namespace URI". The message is in an html page, which may explain why the jbpm plugin can't handle it.

I can't find any reference to the error in the log files. Not in alfresco.log, not in catalina.out.

If you use the namespace bidnwf anywhere in your workflow make sure that there is an Alfresco model (or task model) definition that defines the bidnwf namespace.

If you have problems with the deployment using the jbpm process designer you should try the manual deployment as explained here:
http://wiki.alfresco.com/wiki/WorkflowAdministration#Manually_deploying_a_jPDL_XML_file_or_Process_A...
If you restart the server after deploying the workflow you will see the error messages in the Tomcat or Alfresco logs.

Thanks. I have used the manual deploy. It's a shame the plugin deploy doesn't work 🙂
