    Service Task Error

    biswajit.sarkar

      Hi,

      I am using jbpm.6.1.0.Final in our Dev environment.

      I am trying to create a simple process where i have added a "Service Task" to call a java method(which I add as a dependency jar of my project).

      following is my simple java class which I try to invoke from "Service Task"

      package com.test;

       

      public class TestService {

       

          public String hello(String arg1){

              System.out.println("arguument :"+arg1);

              return arg1;

          }

      }

      I have created a jar of this class and upload it to the "Artifact Repository". And then add this as a dependency of my project.

      But when I try to invoke that method "hello" I am getting "NoSuchMethod Exception"

      following is my process code

      My "hello" method accept "String" as an input but while try to invoke that method from jbpm process why jbpm try to pass an java.lang.Object as an input?

      how can I add "structureRef=String" for "bpmn2:inMessageRef"?

      please correct me if I am doing anything wrong....

          Today I tried the same in Jboss BPMS 6.0.3GA.

          And getting a wired error while try to start the process

           

          classnotfound.PNG

           

          why Jboss BPMS try to find the jar in EAP "modules" directory.

          After adding that jar in JBoss EAP "modules" directory now I am getting same error like following

           

          nosuchmethod.png

           

          I dont understand what is happening.

           

          Rafael Chies please help me out.

           

          Thanks in advance.

            First, create a new data input "ParameterType" (by editing the DataInputSet of the service task), and in assignments give this the value java.lang.String, this should override the default Object type with a String type as method param.

              Thanks Kris Verlaenen.

              But in Business Central I'm not able to edit the "<bpmn2:message" "itemRef". How can I edit the "itemRef" in "bpmn2:message" after adding the "Service Interface" & "Service Operation" to Service Task??

               

              Also why BPMS try to find  classes(WorkItemHandlers/ Java classes for Service Task) in "modules\system\layers\bpms\org\jbpm\main" location instead of "Business Central/WEB-INF/lib"??

              • 4. Re: Service Task Error
                krisverlaenen

                The web designer currently doesn't allow you to set the "itemRef" element of the bpmn2:message in the XML directly.  The behavior should be identical however if you define a "ParameterType" property on the service task, the ServiceTaskHandler will take that into account.  Please open a JIRA for this and we'll look at improving this (basically storing the ParameterType as itemRef in the message rather than a parameter of the service task).

                 

                Regarding modules, depending on which distribution you are using, the web app might be using EAP modules.  As a result, a module is by default only to see the classpath of that module.  Note that in the community we have both a modularized and a non-modularized version of the web-app, so you can select which one you prefer.  You should also be able to define work item handlers as dependencies of the project, or as a global config using deployment descriptors since jBPM 6.1.
