Hi,

I trying to add activiti process Engine to my Spring roo project. I add the maven activiti dependences to my pom.xml

                <dependency>
         <groupId>org.activiti</groupId>
         <artifactId>activiti-engine</artifactId>
         <version>5.19.0.1</version>
      </dependency>
      <dependency>
         <groupId>org.activiti</groupId>
         <artifactId>activiti-spring</artifactId>
         <version>5.19.0.1</version>
      </dependency>

‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍

If I use spring version = 3.2.8.RELEASE in my spring dependences, I get this error at compiler time:

SEVERE: StandardWrapper.Throwable java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: org/springframework/core/OrderComparator$OrderSourceProvider
‍‍‍

Then I can resolve it changing the spring-core version to 4.1.1.RELEASE

<dependency>
         <groupId>org.springframework</groupId>
         <artifactId>spring-core</artifactId>
         <version>4.1.1.RELEASE</version>
         <exclusions>
            <exclusion>
               <groupId>commons-logging</groupId>
               <artifactId>commons-logging</artifactId>
            </exclusion>
         </exclusions>
      </dependency>
‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍

This change let me compile and generate the war file, but after deploy it in tomcat y get this error when I render a jsp page with 'form:select' tag:

java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: org.springframework.core.enums.LabeledEnum
‍‍‍

I think this error is due spring 4 have not this class, but If I put spring 3 I get the first error ' SEVERE: StandardWrapper.Throwable java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: org/springframework/core/OrderComparator$OrderSourceProvider'.

How can I integrate Spring roo and activiti in the same project.

Thanks.

Hi, I solve my problem.

It had related with transitive dependence that introduce activiti-spring dependence . I noticed that spring-bean 4 transitive dependence was introduced  by activiti-spring (you can see it with mvn dependency:tree command). My version of Spring Roo use the spring version dependencies 3.2.8.RELEASE. Then I have used dependencyManagement in my pom.xml to force spring-bean 3 version. Finally I have Spring Roo working with Activiti.

This is my pom.xml repository and dependencies:
