Currently I am working with JSP and Activiti Workflow Engine. I build my project by using Dynamic Web Project on Eclipse. When I tried to run my deployment class, I got following error:

Here is my code on <blockcode>DevelopProcess.java</blockcode> file:

package project.fraport.mobileformular;

import org.activiti.engine.*;
import org.activiti.engine.runtime.*;

public class DevelopProcess {
      
      //set global variable
      static ProcessEngine processEngine;
      static RepositoryService repositoryService;
      static RuntimeService  runtimeService;
      static ProcessInstance processInstance;
      
      //method for deploying and start process
      public static void main(String[] args)
      {
         processEngine = ProcessEngines.getDefaultProcessEngine();
         repositoryService = processEngine.getRepositoryService();
         
         repositoryService.createDeployment()
           .addClasspathResource("accidentForm.bpmn20.xml")
           .deploy();
         System.out.println("Success");
      }
      
}

I have also tried to create another project (Java Project not Dynamic Web Project) using eclipse and placed my DevelopProcess.java there, and its run perfectly without getting any error.

But why am I getting this error while trying to run it from Dynamic Web Project? And how to solve it? Thanks

Which version of Activiti are you using?
