Hi,

I am currently  evaluating activiti in our house and want to try out spring integration,  referencing spring beans in my process etc.

as the easiest method i selected to replace the activiti-cfg.xml with a simple activiti-context.xml in the tomcat/activiti-rest../lib/activiti-cfg.jar


the use case for me is simple, i want to use the identityService bean defined in the spring context and get the email address of the initiator and send a reply mail.

after the tomcat restart i don't see any exception in catalina.out.


but when i try to login with activiti-probe, activiti-explorer etc i get following nullpointer exception

Hi all,


the problem is resolved, i used the eclipse jar export to create my activiti-context.xml jar. The export was creating the jar with xml in a 'resource' subfolder. Which was wrong.


Thanks,

Alvin
