Trying to deploy activiti 5.5 on Jboss

[npereira1]

Hi forum,

I have seen some post with users that were able to run Activiti on Jboss.
I'm trying to do the same but I'm continuously running to a problem.

Every time I try to start Jboss, I'm getting the following error:

2011-07-12 21:51:23,401 ERROR [org.apache.catalina.core.ContainerBase.[jboss.web].[localhost].[/activiti-cycle]] (main) Exception starting filter UrlRewriteFilter
java.lang.ClassCastException: org.apache.xerces.jaxp.DocumentBuilderFactoryImpl cannot be cast to javax.xml.parsers.DocumentBuilderFactory
   at javax.xml.parsers.DocumentBuilderFactory.newInstance(Unknown Source)
   at org.tuckey.web.filters.urlrewrite.Conf.loadDom(Conf.java:181)

I'm using H2 with Jboss 5.1 and Activiti 5.5.

Can anyone help me out?

Hi npereira.

Actually we had some problems as well to deploy the Webapps on JBoss. It is possible, but there is quite some effort involved. We currently port all the webapps to new GUI technologies (Explorer to Vaadin and Cycle to JSF). These apps can be easily deployed on JBoss (we test on 4.2.3, 5.1 and 7).

The new Activiti Explorer will be release mid of August, for the first new Cycle version it might take us a bit longer.

So I wouldn't "waste" too much time on this for now and just hope, you can wait for the new releases.

Cheers

Hello guys,

I wanted to know if it is possible to run Activiti on jBoss 7 by now? Has anyone tried it? How does it work? Is it still a lot of effort to run it on jBoss 7?

Thank you in advance. 🙂

Hi d.y.

We have a full JBoss 7 working with Activiti pre installed as camunda fox server, see http://www.bpm-guide.de/2011/11/14/activiti-drools-wjax-2011/ or http://www.camunda.com/fox/community/download/. Actually that is a preview since we didn't yet have it documented, but if you want to have a look… Or if you need training/support on it, let me know 🙂

Cheers
Bernd
