    NullPointerException in JobExecutorMessageSession.send while

      Hello,
      I have an application which is using spring and jbpm 4.0.
      The application works fine if all the tasks are synchronous .
      But when I add an asynchronous task in between it is giving me
      Null pointerException in JobExecutorMessageSession.send.
      It seems like the transaction is not injected into the JobExecutorMessageSession. I have JobExecuter configured in my
      jbpm.cfg.xml

      <import resource="jbpm.jobexecutor.cfg.xml" />

      and my spring config contain
      <bean id="jbpmConfiguration" class="org.jbpm.pvm.internal.cfg.SpringConfiguration">
       <constructor-arg value="etc/jbpm.cfg.xml" />
       </bean>
       <bean id="processEngine" factory-bean="jbpmConfiguration" factory-method="buildProcessEngine" lazy-init="false" />


      I tried jbpm 4.0 but it it is also giving the same exception.
      Can anybody suggest what i am doing wrong...
      Regards,
      Joel

          Could you post the exact stacktrace. I've seen the job executor working on Spring earlier.

            The above configuration worked. I was missing tag in <transaction-context> and I have upgraded to jbpm 4.1

              was missing in <transaction-context>.
