Import external library into task listener

[fchatzia]

Hi,

I  would  like to ask if there is the opportunity to add external jars into my activiti project. As an example i attach the process definition and the task delegate function

Dlegate class:

import org.activiti.engine.delegate.DelegateTask;
import org.activiti.engine.delegate.TaskListener;

import com.protocol.services.DummyProtocolService;


public class TaskDelegate implements TaskListener {

   /**
    * @param args
    */
   public static void main(String[] args) {
      // TODO Auto-generated method stub

   @Override

         delegateTask.setDescription("sdgsdfsdfs");
         DummyProtocolService protocolService = new DummyProtocolService();
         protocolService.getClass();
   }
}

All dependencies your process java-classes have, need to be available on the class path of your app. In this case, the activiti-explorer-app. So you can just add the jar-files to the WEB-INF/lib/ folder.

frederikheremans thanks for reply,

I have already  added both  the TaskDelegate.jar and the protocolServices.jar  in the \activiti-explorer\WEB-INF\lib.

[frederikherema1]

Does the dummy-protocol service import any LifeRay classes? If so, dependencies for that should be present as well…
