Hi,

I want to create a process dynamically using Fluent API.

I tried this -

RuleFlowProcessFactory factory = RuleFlowProcessFactory.createProcess("com.sample.process");

   factory

    // Header

    .name("HelloWorldProcess")

    .version("1.0")

    .packageName("defaultPackage")

    // Nodes

    .startNode(1)

     .name("Start")

    .done()

    .actionNode(2)

     .name("Action")

     .action("java", "System.out.println(\"Hello World\");")

    .done().

    endNode(3)

     .name("End")

    .done()

    // Connections

    .connection(1, 2)

    .connection(2, 3);

But when I start the process, I get an exception

java.lang.RuntimeException: unable to execute Action

If I remove the actionNode, the code runs successfully.

Similarly in case of a human task node, when I use a .onEntryAction("java", "java.util.Map contentParam = new java.util.HashMap();"); it crashes.

Seems some problem with the "java" dialect. Just not able to figure that out...

Please help.

Also would be glad if someone could provide a sample code for creating dynamic process with fluent API..

Thanks,

Sanket.
