Hi i'm trying start a new process definition instance, but by something that i don't understand i can't. I get no output on deploy and on creating the new instance, i have'd checked the database, the instance isn't created.

The process definition:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

<process-definition
 xmlns="urn:jbpm.org:jpdl-3.2" name="holiday request standart for ernie">

 <start-state name="enter request">
 <task name="request entry">
 <controller>
 <variable name="start date" access="read,write,required"></variable>
 <variable name="duration" access="read,write,required"></variable>
 </controller>
 <assignment expression="user(ernie)"></assignment>
 </task>
 <transition name="" to="evaluate request"></transition>
 </start-state>
 <end-state name="end"></end-state>
 <task-node name="evaluate request">
 <task name="entry evaluation">
 <controller>
 <variable name="start date" access="read"></variable>
 <variable name="duration" access="read"></variable>
 <variable name="info" access="read"></variable>
 <variable name="decision"></variable>
 </controller>
 <assignment expression="user(ernie)"></assignment>
 </task>
 <transition name="More info needed" to="give addition info"></transition>
 <transition name="approve/disapprove" to="end"></transition>
 </task-node>
 <task-node name="give addition info">
 <task name="additional info entry">
 <controller>
 <variable name="start date" access="read"></variable>
 <variable name="duration" access="read"></variable>
 <variable name="info"></variable>
 </controller>
 <assignment expression="user(ernie)"></assignment>
 </task>
 <transition name="" to="evaluate request"></transition>
 </task-node>

</process-definition>

cmd = new NewProcessInstanceCommand();
 cmd.setProcessId(Long.parseLong(pid));
 cmd.setActorId(userName);
 cmd.setCreateStartTask(true);

 getEjbClient().getCommandService().execute(cmd);
