Problems with importing BPMN files into designer

[bhaskarven]

I am trying to import existing BPMN diagram from an example project into the Designer to then save it in Guvnor

after updating. The import failed. I tried other BPMN diagrams from other projects and the import failed. I would think

that the BPMN diagrams in the example projects were created using BPMN Editor. Is this a known issue ?

My Environment => JBoss App Server 7, JBPM5.2, Designer 2.0

Could you please provide the output of your app server?

Thanks for your quick response. I have attached the server logs for your information.

I tracked the Server logs when I did the operation.

The log messages when I did the operation is after line 1663 in the file.

"Content is not allowed in prolog." Could mean that the xml you are providing to the editor is not well formed. Could you please share your process definition?

Thanks again for your help.

Just wanted to add that I was able to open all those BPMN files in eclipse using the BPMN editor.

Please find a sample xml of a BPMN file that opened in BPMN editor but not in the Designer.

Using the latest version of Designer I was able to upload the process without any problem. Which version are you using? How are you importing your processes?

I am using Designer 2.0 that came with JBPM5.2 package. The Designer war file that is

deployed on the server is designer-2.0-jboss7.war

Form the designer toolbar on the top there is an icon which has 2 options : Import from BPMN2 and Import from JSON.

I select import from BPMN2. Then I navigate to the actual BPMN file and click on import. It comes back with a pop-up

dialog that just has the RED cross meaning there is an error.

It seems that you are facing a bug that is already solved in trunk. I followed the steps you mentioned and it works fine with the latest (Snapshot) version. Have you tried to copy the content of the xml file and paste it into the text area that you have in the import popup? I mean, instead of import the file try to copy and paste its content.

Best Regards,

Thanks a lot for your time and help. I did the paste in the import popup and I get the same error.

I will try deploying the latest designer version that came up with JBPM5.3.

I have another issue with the BPMN Editor which I have updated today. Please let me know what could be issue

if you are aware of it. Thanks.

I just deployed the latest version of the Designer ( designer-2.2.Final-jboss7.war ) on the server.

I was able to import BPMN diagrams without any issues. Thanks a lot for your help.
