Hello,to have the latest activiti explorer (from activiti version 5.13) running on your jboss5.1EAP, you have to do following:1. copy 'activity-explorer.war' to deploy folder2. add new file: 'jboss-classloading.xml' into the 'WEB-INF' folder inside the war. The content of jboss-classloading is:<classloading xmlns="urn:jboss:classloading:1.0"
name="activiti-explorer.war"
import-all="true"
export-all="NON_EMPTY"
domain="activiti-explorer-domain"
parent-first="false"
>
</classloading>
4. Delete file 'xml-apis-1.3.04.jar' inside 'WEB-INF\lib'5. Copy database driver into 'WEB-INF\lib', adjust 'WEB-INF\classes\db.properties' and prepare your database witht the SQL scripts that can be found inside folder: '\activiti-5.13\database\create\'Now you can start the server and you will have activit-explorer running on a Jboss5.1EAP, using a Oracle-Database. This article will prevent you from errors like:2013-07-09 09:13:00,861 INFO [main] org.slf4j.impl.Log4jLoggerAdapter.log:601 - 09:13:00,858 [main] ERROR org.springframework.web.context.ContextLoader - Context initialization failed
