JBPM 6.0.1 on Tomcat 7 in Eclipse - Exception sending request initialized lifecycle event to listener instance of class

[rajimalla6]

Hi,

I have set up JBPM 6.0.1 KIEWB on Tomcat 7. The application is running properly when I run the server using startup.bat using command prompt. But when I run the sample exploded folder from Tomcat 7 server configured in Eclipse, the below error is being displayed:

Any help on this is highly appreciated

Thanks

It looks like this is related to https://issues.jboss.org/browse/WELD-1020

Unfortunately, I think that the 6.0.1.Final release didn't work perfectly on Tomcat. On the other hand, I also think we tested that: in short, I'm not sure.

Could you try the latest 6.0.2-SNAPSHOT build on tomcat and see if that works?

You can find that here:

https://repository.jboss.org/nexus/content/repositories/snapshots/org/kie/kie-wb-distribution-wars/6.0.2-SNAPSHOT/

(Pick the latest one that ends with "tomcat7").

Thanks for your reply Marco. But the issue still persists. And also I am receiving the below exception while creating a Project and unable to Finish it s "Finish" button is disabled.

Any help is highly appreciated.

Hi,

I just noticed that the message is being caused by an NPE on line 91 of the RulesNameServiceImpl class.

From what I can see in the code, it probably has something to do with the project not being fully built/created on the file system.

Is it possible that there's something weird with the project location or directory?
