Hi,

I have created two beans for serviceTasks as under:

   <bean id="checkCourseWorkflowInitiator" class="edu.bc.eagleapps.course.activiti.servicetask.CheckCourseWorkflowInitiator" >
        <property name="serviceLocatorService" ref="serviceLocatorService" />
    </bean>
    
    <bean id="courseWorkflowRequestDraftedServiceTask"            class="edu.bc.eagleapps.course.activiti.servicetask.CourseWorkflowRequestDraftedServiceTask" >
        <property name="serviceLocatorService" ref="serviceLocatorService" />
    </bean>
‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍

And I mention it in my process bpmn file as under: using activiti:delegateExpression

    <serviceTask id="sid-C8ED341D-B0C8-4A01-BA01-D6995834967A" 
           name="Check if initiator belongs to student services" 
           activiti:delegateExpression="${checkCourseWorkflowInitiator}" >
     </serviceTask>
…
    <serviceTask id="sid-24755FD3-22CE-4EDC-B83E-3FFB0D36F375" 
           name="Change the State of the course to Draft and Put the course proposal in the reviewers outbox" 
           activiti:delegateExpression="${courseWorkflowRequestDraftedServiceTask}"  >
     </serviceTask>
‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍

Now the issue is the first activiti:delegateExpression="${checkCourseWorkflowInitiator}"  works fine but the same configuration done for later activiti:delegateExpression="${courseWorkflowRequestDraftedServiceTask}" fails with error

org.activiti.engine.ActivitiException: Unknown property used in expression: ${courseWorkflowRequestDraftedServiceTask}

Hi Mansi,

Can you create a jUnit test?
