Unable to deploy and execute the unix shell script

[mohitsrivastava]

Hi,

My requirement:
To execute the shell script from Activiti.

I did the following:

1. Created bpmn from eclipse.

Part of xml from bpmn file.

<process id="activitiReview" name="Review And Approve Activiti Process" isExecutable="true">
    <startEvent id="start" activiti:formKey="wf:submitReviewTask"></startEvent>
    <serviceTask id="servicetask1" activiti:type="shell">
   <extensionElements>
          <activiti:field name="directory" stringValue="/usr" />
   </extensionElements>
    </serviceTask>
    <endEvent id="endevent1" name="End"></endEvent>
    <sequenceFlow id="flow1" sourceRef="servicetask1" targetRef="endevent1"></sequenceFlow>
  </process>


2. Imported it in Activiti Explorer.
3. Delpoy it.
During deploy getting the following error.

03:29:54,782 [http-apr-8080-exec-6] ERROR org.activiti.editor.ui.EditorProcessDefinitionDetailPanel  - Failed to deploy model
org.activiti.engine.ActivitiException: Errors while parsing:
[Validation set: 'activiti-executable-process' | Problem: 'activiti-servicetask-missing-implementation'] :
One of the attributes 'class', 'delegateExpression', 'type', 'operation', or 'expression' is mandatory on serviceTask. -
[Extra info : processDefinitionId = activitiReview | processDefinitionName = Review And Approve Activiti Process | 
| id = servicetask1 | ] ( line: 5, column: 36)


It will be highly helpful for me if you could please suggest that what are the correct steps to execute a shell script through Activiti as soon as possible.

Thanks

Hi,

Could you please reply on this.
It is really very urgent as I have to give solution to the client.

OR at least please let me know is it possible to execute the unix shell script from Activiti or not.

Thanks
Mohit

Hi Mohit,

Have a look on the following example:
