Need to integrate WS with Activti

[prabhjot]

I have been trying to call Activiti (MyProcessBPMN.xml ) file through Web services but when i try to run Web service it gives me InvocationTargetException   on line code

ProcessEngine processEngine = ProcessEngineConfiguration
       .createProcessEngineConfigurationFromResourceDefault().buildProcessEngine();

Please tell whether we can call BPMN through WS or not and what is the correct way of doing it .

I need more details about the exception message.
This line starts up the Activiti Engine, so this is at very foundation.

Best regards,

At WS response it is giving the below error .

<soapenv:Envelope xmlns:soapenv="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/" xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance">

The InvocationTargetException most likely occurs, because the WAR-Classloader does not have access to the Activiti Jar-Files, while at compile-time the've been present.

I see this error a lot, when the WAR Manifest.MF does not contain EAR-based jar-files.

Check that you either have the activiti-engine JAR in your WEB-INF/lib directory of your WAR or inside a /lib directory in your EAR (if used). In the latter case, check the MANIFEST.MF of the Web Archive. It must contain a Class-Path: lib/activiti-engine…jar.
