JBoss doesn't recognise jpdl file

[mmusaji]

Following the instructions under the developers guide for JBPM 4

http://docs.jboss.com/jbpm/v4.0/devguide/html_single/#jbossintegration

It seems fairly straight forward to deploy my workflow in JBoss. But nothing is happening. I have JBPM installed. My directory for jbpm contains a folder named jbpm-service.sar which contains a number of configuration files and jars. jbpm-enterprise.jar is another folder which only contains a 3 xml files.

My jpdl zip contains all classes and the process (jpdl.xml) file.

Is there anywhere else in JBoss that I need to change for it to pick up the jpdl file because there are no errors, just nothing happens! Like it is not recognising the file.

Thanks.

How does everyone else deploy their workflow on to JBoss?

[kukeltje]

in 4? I use the ant task. Some use the jboss deployer but the file has to be a .bar!

[mmusaji]

Yeah I'm using JBPM4 and Jboss 5.0.0.GA.

When using the ant task I get error saying that the resource for jbpm.cfg.xml can't be found... it's in my classpath. So I'm just using Eclipse to export my jpdl.xml and classes to a zip (.bar doesn't work either).

I was using Jboss 5.0.1 before so I got clean version of 5.0.0.GA and now I get this error:

*** CONTEXTS IN ERROR: Name -> Error

I know its seems self-explanatory but I've quadtruple checked the jobexecutor file and it definately has the "=" and is valid xml!

[kukeltje]

Can it be there is another version somewhere?

[mmusaji]

I've done a search and I cannot work out where it is picking this duff file from. Baffled.

Anyhow, I think I should concentrate on getting it deployed using ant as this is the way it should be done I feel. I keep getting this "resource jbpm.cfg.xml does not exist" error.

I think I've messed up my build.xml and classpath entries! Thanks for your help again though.

[kukeltje]

look at the build.xml file in the examples dir. That one is correct.

[mmusaji]

Thanks Ronald. I did and got as far as:

xml validation error: cvc-complex-type.3.2.2: Attribute 'exp' is not allowed to appear in element 'custom'. [line=8 column=116 ]: org.xml.sax.SAXParseException: cvc-complex-type.3.2.2: Attribute 'exp' is not allowed to appear in element 'custom'.


This works in Eclipse and doesn't complain about the "exp" attribute.

[mmusaji]

The problem was in the jbpm.jar. The job.jobexecutor.cfg.xml file was missing the "=". I'm not 100% sure if this was due to me messing around with the build file or not.

JBoss still does nothing when I put the .bar file in deploy folder. It only contains my one workflow but the .jar contains all the classes used by the workflow. Is this correct?
