ClassLoader questions...

[schmoely]

Hi jBPM community,

I just downloaded/installed the jBPM installer (jbpm-installer-3.2.6.SP1.jar) and it installed a jbpm directory in my server deploy directory (with the enterprise ear, the service sar and the console war).

I will be creating a number of processes that need to signal a web service when a particular node is reached. So I implement an ActionHandler on that node and in my handler, have it call a web service.

Problem is: the code that calls the web service has a butt load of jar dependencies (all the cxf stack) and I don't want to put them way up in server/lib - because that'll conflict with other wars deployed on the server.

Similarly, I don't want to deploy the jars in the sar/lib directory because then those classes will be forced to all other clients of jBPM.

I've been banging my head against the wall all day on this: is there a standard pattern or configuration change I can apply to get this realized? I've looked at the jbpm.classLoader property but can't fathom how to put it to work here...

Thanks

create your own ear and embed jBPM in it. So simply do not share the jBPM libs between processes but give them their own libraries etc...

Thanks.

I've followed this to the letter twice: http://jboss.org/community/docs/DOC-9545

And after I deploy (successfully), I try to hit the jbpm console and get:

Error loading jbpm configuration: null

I see someone else may have been having this issue (I'm not using seam http://www.jboss.com/index.html?module=bb&op=viewtopic&p=4169756#4169756)

Any ideas?

Thanks
