Problem with Rest API to get BpmnModel of such processDefinition

[saeidrastak]

Hi Community,

i wrote this method to get BpmnModel of such ProcessDefinition:

1      @Override
2     public BpmnModel getBpmnModelResource(String processDefinitionId) {
3         ObjectMapper mapper = new ObjectMapper();
4         String path = serverConfig.getServicePath() + "repository/process-definitions/{processDefinitionId}/model";
5        UriComponents uriComponents = UriComponentsBuilder.newInstance().scheme("http").host(serverConfig.getServerIP()).
6                 port(serverConfig.getServerPort()).path(path).build().expand(processDefinitionId);
7         String json = restTemplate.getForObject(uriComponents.toUri(), String.class);
8         try {
9             return mapper.readValue(json, BpmnModel.class);
10        } catch (IOException e) {
11            e.printStackTrace();
12        }
13        return null;
14    }

‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍

i got this exception in line 9:

   …


after that i copy the BpmnModel, FlowElement,… and related class from bpmn model project to my source and refactor them.
then add @JsonIgnoreProperties(ignoreUnknown = true) annotation to  BpmnModel and  FlowElement:

   @JsonIgnoreProperties(ignoreUnknown = true)
   public class BpmnModel {
   …
   ‍‍‍‍‍

   

   @JsonIgnoreProperties(ignoreUnknown = true)
   public class FlowElement extends BaseElement implements HasExecutionListeners {
   …
‍‍‍‍‍

   
and then everything is ok.

The changes made are correct?
If possible, be placed in the project source code.


Best Regards.

Good catch, yes we should add this the the master version of Activiti.
Thanks for letting us know.

Best regards,
