How to deploy JBPM 6 in Tomcat7?

http://stackoverflow.com/questions/18794297/how-to-deploy-jbpm-6-in-tomcat7

I am struggling with JBPM6 console WAR deployment in Tomcat7. I am getting this exception from Tomcat:

13 Sep, 2013 1:52:20 PM org.apache.catalina.core.StandardContext loadOnStartup SEVERE: Servlet /jbpm-console threw load() exception javax.servlet.ServletException: No servlet class has been specified for servlet javax.ws.rs.core.Application at org.apache.catalina.core.StandardWrapper.loadServlet(StandardWrapper.java:1130) at org.apache.catalina.core.StandardWrapper.load(StandardWrapper.java:1080)

This seems to be a JAX-RS related issue. I did try putting Jboss Easyrest jars in jbpm console war but didn't work. Then I tried putting Jercey bundle jar in the war and modified servlet class accordingly in web.xml, but that disn't work either.

I think the standard steps/pre-requisites to deploy JBPM 6 in popular containers should be documented. There should be container specific distributions of JBPM WAR. Apparently the JBPM 6 console WAR is not plug and play. Container independence (out of the box) is important for my company.

and there is specific to tomcat version of the web application, it was simply not yet included in CR distribution as the installer works with JBoss AS7 by default. Here you can find steps to install it on tomcat 7 and here is the war specific to tomcat7 (please note that it's name is kie-wb but feel free to rename it to jbpm-console).

Hi,

   Thanks for providing the instructions. I followed them as closely as possible, but in the end it's still not working for me.

I was unable to do step #7 "edit beans.xml file in WEB-INF and uncomment JAASUserGroupCallback and remove MvelUserGroupCallbackImpl", as there was no entry named "JAASUserGroupCallback" in beans.xml.  The relevant section looks like this for me:

  <alternatives>

    <class>org.jbpm.services.task.lifecycle.listeners.JPATaskLifeCycleEventListener</class>

    <class>org.jbpm.services.task.identity.MvelUserGroupCallbackImpl</class>

    <!--class>org.jbpm.task.impl.CommandBasedTaskInstanceServiceImpl</class-->

  </alternatives>

This is what my catalina.out log looks like:

For step #4: 

4. Edit TOMCAT_HOME/conf/tomcat-users.xml to include roles and users, make sure there will be 'analyst', 'admin', 'developer', 'user' or 'manager'

roles defined as it's required to be authorized to use kie-wb

I created the following in tomcat-users.xml (I wasn't exactly sure if the #4 steps needed users created as well, but I went ahead and created them)

<role rolename="analyst"/>

<role rolename="admin"/>

<role rolename="developer"/>

<role rolename="user"/>

<role rolename="manager"/>

<user username="kris" password="kris" roles="analyst,admin,developer,user,manager"/>

<user username="analyst" password="analyst" roles="analyst"/>

<user username="admin" password="admin" roles="admin"/>

<user username="developer" password="developer" roles="developer"/>

<user username="user" password="user" roles="user"/>

<user username="manager" password="manager" roles="manager"/>

If I log in with kris/kris it stays on the login page, and says: "Login Failed: Not Authorized".

If I log in with marco/marco it gives me a 500 page:

java.lang.NullPointerException

Any help would be appreciated here.

Thanks!

I also could not find #step 7 and am not entirely clear on which users/roles to add.  Did you find a solution for this?

Just found this

i found this in the github repository

<class>org.jbpm.services.task.identity.JAASUserGroupCallbackImpl</class>

Hi ,Maciej

When I Try to deploy jbpm6.0.0 on tomcat7 ,met this problem too.

I did all 7 steps , and can login with user.

I can see some *** Message delivery failure *** of errai.bus in java console.

when I try to deploy a deploymentunit in project editor, Seems that there is

javax.persistence.PersistenceException: No Persistence provider for EntityManage

r named org.jbpm.domain.

I want to know,is there anyway to fix this issue?

And hope you will offer me jbpm-6.0.0-tomcat7-Final.war with installation notes of MYSQL.

Appreciate.

Marshal

Hi,

* resources.properties

************************ sampke resources.properites **************************

resource.ds1.uniqueName=jdbc/jbpm

******************************************************************************

NOTE: jdbc/jbpm is the JNDI name used by tomcat distribution of the application

So what should be inserted instead jdbc/jbpm?
Cuold you give some example?
