Need help with invoking Activiti Process

[pmsriram13]

Hello , this is my first post and I am a newbie at Activiti.

Iam using Activiti 5.10 /Camel 2.10

Here is my Application definition:


I have Camel deployed on  tomcat 6.0.18 . I read records in an .csv file, split them and convert to an xml .
After conversion using jaxb, they are sent to an active MQ queue.
No issues so far.

I have Activiti deployed on another tomcat instance(different port) and have used camel to receive the message from the same ActiveMQ and start a process.I have added all the relevant Camel and camel related jars to the activiti-explorer /WEB-INF/lib folder and able to start tomcat and see that camel is also starting(similar to server1)

I followed the example in the Activiti in Action and got the error:

type Exception report

message

description The server encountered an internal error () that prevented it from fulfilling this request.

exception

javax.servlet.ServletException: org.springframework.beans.factory.NoSuchBeanDefinitionException: No unique bean of type [org.activiti.explorer.ExplorerApp] is defined: expected single bean but found 0:

Here is my camel-application-context.xml file:

</beans>‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍

This along with the activiti-application-context.xml and camel-application-context.xml are packaged ina  jar file copied to the activiti-explorer/WEB-INF/lib folder

Note: I have NOT changed the activiti-ui-context.xml and the applicationContext.xml file in activiti-explorer/WEB_INF  folder.

If I comment out the

    <param-value>classpath*:application-context.xml</param-value>
</context-param>[/b]

section, I can open the Activiti Explorer application and deploy the workflow.
But on un-commenting the above section, i am not able to process the message from the queue due to this error:

Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Also, if I uncomment out the section : <context-param>
    <param-name>contextConfigLocation</param-name>
    <param-value>classpath*:application-context.xml</param-value>
</context-param>

I cannot open the activiti-explorer page.

Please edit your post and put code tags around relevant parts. That makes it a lot easier to read.

Hope that helps , would appreciate if you could take a look and help me out..

I have no knowledge of camel or spring, so sorry….

[jbarrez]

Sounds like there is something wrong going on with how the different spring application context files are placed and found. In your web.xml, you look up all files calls *application context … so which files do you have in WEB-INF that would match that?
