Error when creating a new service task

[a.sous]

Hello,

I'm creating a process which contains a service task as following:

1. Create a new process.
2. Add a service task.
3. Create Java Interface.
4. Import the interface to the process.
5. In Service task, I put one of the interface method as an operation.

When I try to save the process, it gives me error " No messages found".

What do I miss in this process??

I'm using JBPM 6.0.

Any help will be appreciated.

Best regards,

A. Sous.

on service task you need to reference operation.

would be good if you could attache the bpmn2 file here so we could take a look at that.

I'm using Eclipse tool..

looks like the issue is caused by the order of elements in xml. message elements are after interface element. Would you mind moving these elements manually (by editing xml) to be before interface? Currently the parser is order sensitive so it might be because of that.

Thanks for your reply Maciej.

It gives me a new error when putting the message elements before the interface element (Error importing the interface):

Please, suggest me another solution..

is the error only when modeling or when running the process you get that error too?

[a.sous]

The error appears when I try to save the changes. I also try to create a unit test, but it doesn't work because of this error.

[swiderski.maciej]

just noticed one thing - interface name and implementationRef in your process definition. When defining java interface in there make sure that the name of interface is actually FQCN of the interface to invoke. For simple java invocation the implemnetationRef is not used, it is only used for WebService based service tasks.

P.S.

One thing to check for BPMN2 modeler in eclipse, when you go to Eclipse preferences and find the BPMN2 settings, please make sure that you have selected jBPM as the engine as that will slightly change the feature set of the modeler.
