    No process context active

    stephanos

      Hi,


      for quite some time I'm trying now to automatically setup a few jBPM processes after startup (for testing purposes). My observer


      @Transactional
      @Observer("org.jboss.seam.postInitialization")
      public void init() {
        ...
        Contexts.getEventContext().set("newApplication", app);
        applicationAction.apply();
      }
      


      works fine. The apply() looks like that:



      @End
      @CreateProcess(definition = "apply", processKey = "#{newApplication.id}")
      public String apply() {
        ...
        Contexts.getBusinessProcessContext().set("applicationId", applicationId);
      }
      


      This, however, results in a NullPointerException. When I try to use @Out alternatively it prints the message No process context active.


      But how/when is it started?


      PS: Invoking the apply() method via a command button works simply fine.

          In case the stack trace is of interest (using Tomcat without JBoss Embedded and Seam 2.1.0-Snapshot):

              In case somebody runs into the same problem, simply call


              ManagedJbpmContext.instance()



              This will initialize the context.

                false alarm, still fighting with this one :-(
