Problem with deployment of bar-archives

[mtf]

Hi all,

currently I am trying to deploy a process to the activiti engine running on tomcat, but something seems to be missing.
My current configuration is the demo-setup running on ubuuntu with JDK 1.6.

In the eclipse-editor I have added a user-library ACTIVITI_LIB to have a reference to the required libs (libs-runtime, libs-test)

The process file:

<definitions xmlns="http://www.omg.org/spec/BPMN/20100524/MODEL"
   xmlns:activiti="http://activiti.org/bpmn"
   targetNamespace="http://activiti/tests/javaCall">
   <process id="SimpleJavaCall" name="Simple Java Call">
      <startEvent id="startevent" name="Start"></startEvent>
      <serviceTask id="javaCall"  name="My Java Task" 
             activiti:class="test.service.call.SimpleServiceToUpperCase" />
      <sequenceFlow id="flow4" name="" sourceRef="startevent"
         targetRef="javaCall"></sequenceFlow>
      <sequenceFlow id="flow5" name="" sourceRef="javaCall"
         targetRef="endevent"></sequenceFlow>
      <endEvent id="endevent" name="End"></endEvent>
   </process>
</definitions>‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍

The java class:

package test.service.call;

import org.activiti.engine.delegate.DelegateExecution;
import org.activiti.engine.delegate.JavaDelegate;

public class SimpleServiceToUpperCase implements JavaDelegate {

   private static final String VARIABLE_NAME = "input";

   public void execute(DelegateExecution execution) {
      String var = (String) execution.getVariable(VARIABLE_NAME);
      var = var.toUpperCase();
      execution.setVariable(VARIABLE_NAME, var);
   }
}
‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍

Using the generated JUnit-test, the execption is:

Error while closing command context
java.lang.NullPointerException
   at test.service.call.SimpleServiceToUpperCase.execute(SimpleServiceToUpperCase.java:12)
   at org.activiti.engine.impl.bpmn.JavaDelegateDelegate.execute(JavaDelegateDelegate.java:48)
   at org.activiti.engine.impl.bpmn.JavaDelegateDelegate.execute(JavaDelegateDelegate.java:39)
   at org.activiti.engine.impl.bpmn.ClassDelegate.execute(ClassDelegate.java:96)
‍‍‍‍‍‍‍

The deployment is succsessful and the process is shown in the activiti-explorer as well.
The (important part) of my deployment-descriptor (ant-script):
- copying the jar (containing the java class) into $path$/activiti-5.2/apps/apache-tomcat-6.0.29/webapps/activiti-rest/WEB-INF/lib (the same folder where also activiti-engine-5.2.jar, … are placed).
- using a copy of the activiti.cfg.xml in "activiti-cfg.jar"

<taskdef name="deploy-bar" classname="org.activiti.engine.impl.ant.DeployBarTask">
         <classpath>
            <pathelement path="src/main/config" />
            <fileset dir="libs-runtime" />
            <fileset dir="libs-test" />
         </classpath>
      </taskdef>‍‍‍‍‍‍‍

But if I start an instance I get the following exception in the logs:

ERROR [extensions.webscripts.AbstractRuntime] Exception from executeScript - redirecting to status template error: 01030001 Wrapped Exception (with status template): null

I also have tried it with a script-task (groovy), which runs without problems using the generated JUnit-test case, but deploying it in the same way like stated above (without creating the jar for the java class) the follwoing exceptions occur:

Do I have to change the configuration of the H2-DB in the activiti.cfg.xml, or am I missing something else?

Help is very appreciated.
Thaks in advance!

your variable "input" doesn't exist
