Is that the whole xml? I can only see a part, no sequence flow etc. Can you post the complete process xml?

Hi Joram, I am also getting the "Could not validate XML with BPMN 2.0 XSD" error with Activiti 5.13. I am just trying to run "Hello World" on activiti. I am not using Activiti Explorer or any other modules/war. I am using jdk1.7.

Hi,

I tried to parse the same XML and it works fine for me. Can you create a unit test so that we can reproduce your issue?
Are you using the Oracle JDK or another one?

Best regards,

Hi,
I'm having the same error when I try to deploy activiti-explorer.war 5.14 the first time on a fresh instance of tomcat 7.0.50 (but tried also with 6.0.45) and on Win 8.1 and JDK 1.7.0.45 (but tried also with (1.6.0.45).

Have you figured out what could be the reason for this error?

This is the tomcat log:

SOLVED! the error was in reading the path of the folder (.. / Università / ..). To fix it just move the folder of the apache server to a new directory with a path without special characters.

Thanks
