Worflows using Alfresco Activiti

[ashpal19]

Hello,

I would like to use Activiti workflows within Alfresco. For this we tried to design and test a workflow using standalone Activiti (deployed on Tomcat). The workflow seemed to work fine when we tested in stand-alone Activiti.

However when we deployed the same workflow in Alfresco, we started getting errors. I actually had to make several changes to the bpmn file to make it work for Activiti Alfresco, whereas the same file worked completely fine in Activiti standalone.  There were a few components which I noticed were not compatible with Alfresco Activiti. The proerties which did not work are activiti:formProperty, activiti:assign.

I would like to know if there is a subset of Activiti artifacts that will work within Alfresco? How will I know what will work for sure in Alfresco Activiti.

Is the right approach to go about it or am I missing something?

May be version difference in both environment.
Or else some of the components which you are using are not added in alfresco.
Better you directly create workflow in alfresco it self to avoid such issues.

Had exact same problems few days ago on alfresco 4.2.c.
My problem was resolved by simply updating alfresco to 4.2.e version.
