Hi

I'm getting a null pointer while using mail templates (mostly due to my config environment ). I'm trying to figure out what's missing.

Here are the relevant things :
1. hibernate.cfg.xml ,jbpm.mail.templates.xml, jbpm.cfg.xml , and my processdefinition.xml are in the same location ( inside the EAR )

2. jbpm.cfg.xml contains

<string name="resource.mail.templates" value="jbpm.mail.templates.xml" />

3. I know email sending works fine because I've been using it without the templates.

4. My template file contains :

<mail-template name="task-assign">
 <actors>#{taskInstance.actorId}</actors>
 <subject>Task '#{taskInstance.name}'</subject>
 <text><![CDATA[Hi,
 blah blah
 </text>
 </mail-template>

 <mail-template name="task-reminder">
 ...
 </mail-template>

 <mail-template name="mailToMgr">
 ...
 </mail-template>

5. My process definition contains :

<task-node name="taskNodeName" end-tasks="true">
 <event type="node-enter">
 <mail name="mailToMgr" to="someone@somecompany.com" template="jbpm.mail.templates.xml">
 </mail>
 </event>
 ...
 </task-node>

6. When I run this, I get

Caused by: java.lang.NullPointerException
 at org.jbpm.mail.Mail.send(Mail.java:103)

7. On debug of org.jbpm.mail.Mail, I get

Method getMailTemplateProperties(templateName passed is "jbpm.mail.templates.xml")

 mailTemplatesResource = "jbpm.mail.templates.xml"
 mailTemplatesElement = [mail-templates: null]
 mailTemplateElements = [[mail-template: null], [mail-template: null], [mail-template: null]]

* What could the problem be ?
* Also, how do I link my tag with a specific <mail-template> ?
* Can I include html as part of email ?
