No JbpmConfiguration class def found in jBPM-jpdl 3.2.1

I'm trying to test 3.2.1 version and deployed a war file (that i have used for testing with 3.1.3 jbpm-starter-kit) that included simple servlet that created a new process instance. Servlet throws following error:

10:28:54,020 ERROR [[XmlReceiver]] Servlet.service() for servlet XmlReceiver threw exception
java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: org/jbpm/JbpmConfiguration

I tried to deploy the same servlet to jbpm-starter-kit as it is out-ot-the-box and it worked well. So what should I do to make it work in 3.2.1? I'm afraid I have missed something but the readme.html do say that "This is a preconfigured jboss 4.0.2 installation that contains jBPM." which is about the same as is says at starter kit also.. So in my opinion it should work "out-of-the-box".

I had to copy C:\jboss\jbpm-jpdl-3.2.1\deploy\jbpm-enterprise.ear to C:\jboss\jbpm-jpdl-3.2.1\server\server\jbpm\deploy

Still this doesn't work but at least the error message changed. It's sorry to see that newer versions of jBPM isn't always compatible with older versions. In my opinion, this is major problem since I can't use old code with new versions.

Well.. they must sell support so.. lets try to live with it..

This has nothing to do with selling support.

The starterkit is the starterkit, completely preconfigured and ready to run AS IS.

If you want to run jBPM on other appservers, look at the source. There are ant targets there for creating 'binaries' for other versions.

Compatibility between 3.1 and 3.x releases IS guaranteed with the help of update scripts etc...
