jBPM Scheduler and JUnit testing in Eclipse

[smalson]

Does anyone have a good single list of steps for setting up an environment where all the jBPM functionality can be launched through a JUnit test class in Eclipse.

In the test class I do the following:

1) Static initializer for JbpmConfiguration
2) Start the Scheduler
3) Read in the Process Definition
4) Create a jBPMContext
5) Step through a process via Signals until it gets to a Node with a create-timer.

It gets a null pointer in DBSchedulerService.createTimer(line 44)

I included the Hibernate3.jar and modified the config file to only utilize the scheduler service. I now assume the scheduler won't work without a database and the persistence service. My next step is to configure and launch the hsql database. I am assuming I would also have to launch the hsql database from my test class.

Any information would be appreciated to save some time.

Thank You,

Steve

did you look at the jbpm testcases. Almost everything is unittested, so you should see some more there (unless the scheduler is not db tested)
