    jbpm 4.2 spring 2.5.6 integration

    iga3k

      Hello,

      I've been looking around for a good open source bpm solution and I end up choosing jBPM. Now, I'm trying to integrate it with Spring, but I'm facing some troubles.

      Here is the jbpm minimal configuration that I'm trying to use:

       <process-engine-context>
       <command-service>
       <retry-interceptor />
       <environment-interceptor />
       <spring-transaction-interceptor />
       </command-service>
       </process-engine-context>
      
       <transaction-context>
       <transaction />
       <hibernate-session current="true" />
       </transaction-context>
      


      , the spring configuration:

       <bean id="jbpmConfiguration" class="org.jbpm.pvm.internal.cfg.SpringConfiguration">
       <constructor-arg value="com/psinova/jbpm.cfg.xml" />
       </bean>
      
       <bean id="processEngine" factory-bean="jbpmConfiguration" factory-method="buildProcessEngine" />
       <bean id="repositoryService" factory-bean="processEngine" factory-method="getRepositoryService" />
       <bean id="executionService" factory-bean="processEngine" factory-method="getExecutionService" />
      


      and when spring is trying to initialize the first bean, a npe is thrown with this stack:

      Caused by: java.lang.NullPointerException
       at org.jbpm.pvm.internal.cfg.ProcessEngineImpl.checkDb(ProcessEngineImpl.java:177)
       at org.jbpm.pvm.internal.cfg.ProcessEngineImpl.buildProcessEngine(ProcessEngineImpl.java:170)

       at org.springframework.beans.factory.support.SimpleInstantiationStrategy.instantiate(SimpleInstantiationStrategy.java:115)
      


      I've also created a JIRA ticket for this issue: https://jira.jboss.org/jira/browse/JBPM-2646
      Am I doing something wrong? Please advise!

      Kind regards,
      Alexandru.

          This is sample jpdl.cfg.xml. Please observe the command-service and db id generator mappings.

          <jbpm-configuration>
          
           <import resource="jbpm.businesscalendar.cfg.xml" />
           <import resource="jbpm.jpdl.cfg.xml" />
          
           <process-engine-context>
           <repository-service />
           <repository-cache />
           <execution-service />
           <history-service />
           <management-service />
