Karaf 2.2.7: Resource not found when trying to read the bpmn

[rajsenthil]

Hi, I created a simple process with single script task "Hello Task" that prints out "Hello World". Ran it through the junit test and it worked.
Then I tried to bundle it and trying to run inside the karaf and getting "Caused by: org.activiti.engine.ActivitiException: resource 'HelloWorldProcess.bpmn' not found".

The Activiti engine bundle is installed in the karaf and successfully injected to the bundle.

Now I am trying to start that process by the code

                repositorySevice
                .createDeployment()   
                //.addClasspathResource("OSGI-INF/activiti/HelloWorldProcess.bpmn")
                //.addClasspathResource("/OSGI-INF/activiti/HelloWorldProcess.bpmn")
                .addClasspathResource("HelloWorldProcess.bpmn")
                .deploy();
‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍

But could never succeed to successfully read the file. I also dropped the HelloWorldProcess.bpmn under %KARAF_HOME%/etc folder and could not load it.

Please let me know what I am missing.

Also the DB that I am using is MySql 5.5 and could see the process definition in the table ACT_GE_BYTEARRAY. Is there any way to load the process from this table and start running it?

Thanks,
Senthil

Hi,

The process should be deployed as a bundle in the Karaf container.  In my book I've a whole section that shows how to do this with a full example.
Make sure you use .bpmn20.xml as an extension since .bpmn is not read as a process definition in Activiti 5.9 (it will be in Activiti 5.10)

Best regards,

Thanks for the reply. The process is now read and started successfully.
Activiti (or any wfe) and osgi are new to me. Your ActivitiInAction is the only book that I am using now for evaluating the product and it helps a lot.
Sorry for any stupid question.

I thought the process definition id is same as the process name given in bpmn file. But I see the process definition as something like hello:1:25 for the hello process. How to know this suffix? Right now I am using the act:list command (commands downloaded from activiti-karaf) to know this suffix.

Thanks again.
