org.activiti.engine.ActivitiObjectNotFoundException: no processes deployed with key 'financialReport'

[erzuomao]

I am a Novice, I Encountered a problem when running the user guide's example.
1. Here is the test code
public static void main(String args[]){
       // Create Activiti process engine
        ProcessEngine processEngine = ProcessEngineConfiguration
         .createProcessEngineConfigurationFromResource("activiti.cfg.xml")
          .buildProcessEngine();
       
        // Get Activiti services
        RepositoryService repositoryService = processEngine.getRepositoryService();
        RuntimeService runtimeService = processEngine.getRuntimeService();
       
        // Deploy the process definition
        repositoryService.createDeployment()
          .addClasspathResource("test/NewFile.xml")
          .deploy();
         
        // Start a process instance
        runtimeService.startProcessInstanceByKey("financialReport");


   }

2.Here is the configure file
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

The forum markup ate most of your xml … could you repost it with markup

> Exception in thread "main" org.activiti.engine.ActivitiObjectNotFoundException: no processes deployed with key 'financialReport'

That usually means that in your process xml, in the 'id' attribute of the 'process' tag, you have used another value than 'financialReport'.

Activiti version needs filename suffix is '.bpmn20.xml' or '.bpmn',  otherwise throws an exception org.activiti.engine.ActivitiObjectNotFoundException: no processes deployed with key 'xxx'
