    ClassCastException

    sc_boss

      I've a simple java that uses HornetQ workitem handler for human tasks. I keep getting this error when I guess human task server responds back. What is the issue here and how to fix it?  

       

      SEVERE: Client Exception with class class org.jbpm.task.service.hornetq.HornetQTaskClientConnector$1 using port 5153

      java.lang.ClassCastException: org.jbpm.task.service.responsehandlers.BlockingGetContentResponseHandler cannot be cast to org.jbpm.task.service.TaskClientHandler$GetTaskResponseHandler

          could you provide more information when it happen? What operation do you invoke when this error occurs?

            It is a simple program with very little modification to the evaluation process that comes with installation. I've configured my DB as Oracle.

             

            Attached is the log generated. My apologies for any stupid mistake in the program. I'm still trying to get comfortable with JBPM.

             

            My Process basically takes a name and the user tries to modify it trough UI.

             

            Please note that the process is generating tasks properly as I can see it in inbox of krisv.

             

            public class ProcessTest

            {

              ok if it's an evaluation process then it could be that you suplly not valid employee that is process variable used to assign first task to. Antoher thing is that since you modified the evaluation process it could be that

              params.put("name", "some name".toLowerCase());

              "some name" must be know to task service unless you use DefaultUserGroupCallback that accepts all users.

               

              Since you provided logs from client execution it would be good to check server log where task service is running, there are most likely some errors that causing to return incorrect response.

                "name" is just a variable in my process. I checked the server logs and i did not see any error.

                 

                Just FYI (if this helps) : Switching to AsyncHornetQHTWorkItemHandler fixed my issue. I dontt see any issue or errors.
