    AssignmentHandler deployment, NullPointerException

    mackcom

      I've go jBPM (3.0.1 from the starters kit) up and running on jBoss AS 4.0.2
      (the server is on localhost) with a MS SQL 2000 database. This is running
      in our test environmnet on Windows XP.
      I using GPD (3.0.2) on Eclipse 3.1.0 (from JBossIDE-1.5RC1).

      My problem is can get an assignment handler to work.
      I'm getting a NullPointerException when the toke reaches the task that needs assignment.
      I suspect that this error is because the Assignment Handler class can't be found.
      I don't know where to put it.
      I've been deploying the process with GPD from the context menu "Deploy Process Archive",
      then context menu Deployment -> Deploy To.... Am I doing this correctly?
      Are both Deploy Process Archive and Deployment -> Deploy To... necessary?
      What is the difference between the two?

      I've also copied the class to the deploy/testProcess.par/classes/... folder
      on the test server, didn't help.
      I made a jar containing the assignment handler class and copied that to deploy/testProcess.par/ didn't work.
      Then I put the jar in deploy/testProcess.par/lib didn't work.
      Then I tried JBOSS_ROOT/server/default/lib didn't work,
      then I tried JBOSS_ROOT/server/default/deploy and that didn't work.

      I saw a post suggesting that a property in jbpm.properties needed to be set to
      tell it what assignment handler class to use. Is this necessary, if so what is the name of the property?
      I wouldn't think that you would set the assignment handler in the properties file because:

      A) you might need to use different assignment handlers for different tasks or process definitions.
      B) The class name is set in the assignment tag of the process definition, so it doesn't seem necessary to set it in the properties file.

      Please let me know what I'm missing.
      Below is the code, config and stack trace for this issue:

      Process definition:

      <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
      
      <process-definition
       xmlns="http://jbpm.org/3/jpdl" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
       xsi:schemaLocation="http://jbpm.org/3/jpdl http://jbpm.org/xsd/jpdl-3.0.xsd"
       name="testProcess">
       <start-state name="start">
       <transition name="tr1" to="task1"></transition>
       </start-state>
       <task-node name="task1">
       <task name="task1">
       <assignment class="com.benderson.jbpm.poprocess.task.POProcessApprovePOTask"></assignment>
       </task>
       <transition name="tr1" to="end1">
      
       </transition>
       </task-node>
       <end-state name="end1"></end-state>
      </process-definition>
      


      Assignment Handler:

      package com.benderson.jbpm.poprocess.task;
      
      import org.jbpm.graph.exe.ExecutionContext;
      import org.jbpm.taskmgmt.def.AssignmentHandler;
      import org.jbpm.taskmgmt.exe.Assignable;
      
      public class POProcessApprovePOTask implements AssignmentHandler {
       private static final long serialVersionUID = 2L;
      
       public POProcessApprovePOTask() {}
      
       public void assign(Assignable assignable, ExecutionContext executionContext)
       throws Exception {
       System.out.println("WWWWWWWWWWWW in Process TASK");
       assignable.setActorId("ejm");
      
       }
      
      }
      


      jbpm.properties file:

      jbpm.scheduler.service.factory=org.jbpm.scheduler.impl.SchedulerServiceImpl
      jbpm.task.instance.class=org.jbpm.taskmgmt.exe.TaskInstance
      
      # uncomment the next line if JbpmSessionFactory.getInstance()
      # should lookup the singleton instance from JNDI instead of creating
      # a default one.
      #
      jbpm.session.factory.jndi.name=java:/jbpm/JbpmSessionFactory
      
      # uncomment the next line to use the file system instead of the database for
      # storing files related to a process definition
      #
      # jbpm.files.dir=c:/jbpm.data
      
      # resource path to a properties file that will overwrite all the hibernate
      # properties. For database specific builds in db project there is a different
      # hibernate.properties file on the classpath for each database. You could change
      # the default database for any testing runs by uncommenting the next line and
      # adding a hibernate.properties file in the basedir.
      #
      jbpm.hibernate.cfg.xml=jbpm.hibernate.cfg.xml
      jbpm.hibernate.properties=jbpm.hibernate.properties

      hibernate.query.substitutions=true 1, false 0
      


      Test code:

      package com.benderson.test;
      
      import org.jbpm.db.JbpmSession;
      import org.jbpm.db.JbpmSessionFactory;
      import org.jbpm.graph.def.ProcessDefinition;
      import org.jbpm.graph.exe.ProcessInstance;
      import org.jbpm.graph.exe.Token;
      
      import junit.framework.TestCase;
      
      public class testProcessTest extends TestCase {
       static JbpmSessionFactory jbpmSessionFactory =
       JbpmSessionFactory.buildJbpmSessionFactory();
      
       public void testTestProcess() {
       // start po process
       startTestProcess();
       }
      
       private void startTestProcess() {
       // Let's open a new persistence session
       JbpmSession jbpmSession = jbpmSessionFactory.openJbpmSession();
       // ... and begin a transaction on the persistence session.
       jbpmSession.beginTransaction();
      
       // Now we can query the database for the process definition that we
       // deployed above.
       ProcessDefinition processDefinition =
       jbpmSession
       .getGraphSession()
       .findLatestProcessDefinition("testProcess");
      
       // With the processDefinition that we retrieved from the database, we
       // can create an execution of the process definition just like in the
       // hello world example (which was without persistence).
       ProcessInstance processInstance =
       new ProcessInstance(processDefinition);
      
      
       // confirm we are at the start
       Token token = processInstance.getRootToken();
       assertEquals("start", token.getNode().getName());
      
      
       // assign PO Number and Department
       processInstance.getContextInstance().setVariable("PONumber", "123");
       processInstance.getContextInstance().setVariable("Department", "IT");
      
       token.signal();
      
       // Now the processInstance is saved in the database. So the
       // current state of the execution of the process is stored in the
       // database.
       jbpmSession
       .getGraphSession()
       .saveProcessInstance(processInstance);
       // The method below will get the process instance back out
       // of the database and resume execution by providing another
       // external signal.
      
       // At the end of the webapp action, the transaction is committed.
       jbpmSession.commitTransaction();
       // And close the jbpmSession.
       jbpmSession.close();
      
       }
      }
      


      And finally the output from the test code:

      Thank you very much for any insight you can provide.


        • 1. Re: AssignmentHandler deployment, NullPointerException
          mackcom

          Never mind I solved my issue. Isn't is amazing how often the solution comes to you after you've posted the questions.

          Anyway FYI, my issue was that my jbpm.properties file in my project did not have

          jbpm.task.instance.class=org.jbpm.taskmgmt.exe.TaskInstance


          and I was looking at the jbpm.properties file that was deployed on the server, and of course when I'm running a test from my IDE it will use the propertie files inside the project.

          I also now realize that the issue had nothing to do with the assignment handler, but was related to not having a tast instance set.

          I feel foolish, but I'm learning a lot. I love this (jBPM) and the whole JEMS suite! Keep up the good work.
