NullPointerException during deployment

[jzi]

Hello,

I get the following exception each time I deploy a process.

Is there a solution for avoiding this exception?

Thank you for your help.

Hi, I am not sure what it does exactly at that point in the code, but I am sure it is a Bug

      processDefinition.setGraphicalNotationDefined(true);
      if (processDefinition != null) {

the setGraphicalNotationDefined has to be movd in the "if" part.

The error you should be getting would be along the line:

Invalid reference in 'bpmnElement' attribute, process " + processId + " not found"

Thanks for pointing that out ptriller, I'll fix it on trunk.
Strange that we missed is, compiler-warning in eclipse marked it as dead code

So indeed, instead of the nullpointer 'jzi' has, that message should have appeared.
