Problems starting process-instance via REST

[gant]

Hi,

I¨m trying to start a process-instance via REST.

public void startProcessInstance(String processDefinitionId, Object processVariable) {
      
      JSONObject requestObject = new JSONObject();
      requestObject.put("processDefinitionId", "AdhocTaskProcess:1");
      requestObject.put("processVariable", processVariable);

      // TODO Handling RestClientException
      login();
      template.postForEntity("http://localhost:15000/activiti-rest/service/process-instance", requestObject, JSONObject.class);
      
   }

private void login(){
   Credentials credentials = new UsernamePasswordCredentials("kermit", "kermit");

   CommonsClientHttpRequestFactory factory = (CommonsClientHttpRequestFactory) template.getRequestFactory();
   HttpClient client = factory.getHttpClient();

   client.getState().setCredentials(AuthScope.ANY, credentials);
}
‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍

This causes the following exception:

Seems, there is no matching process-definition deployed. But, I can see a Version 1 of "AdhocTaskProcess" in Activiti-Probe, and I can start an instance of this via Activiti-Explorer…

Here is the result of an SQL-Query on my Activiti-Database:

(ID_, CATEGORY_, NAME_, KEY_, VERSION_, DEPLOYMENT_ID_, RESOURCE_NAME_, DGRM_RESOURCE_NAME_, HAS_START_FORM_KEY_) VALUES
  ('AdhocTaskProcess:1:815', 'http://www.signavio.com/bpmn20', 'AdhocTaskProcess', 'AdhocTaskProcess', 1, '810', 'AdhocTaskProcess.bpmn20.xml', 'AdhocTaskProcess.AdhocTaskProcess.png', 0),
‍‍‍‍

Has anybody hints for me?

Regards

Hi,

The ID is no longer "AdhocTaskProcess:1" but now is "AdhocTaskProcess:1:815". A unique identifier is added to the ID (on top of the version) to ensure process definition caches aren't stale when running activiti clustered.
