I'm trying to get a simple Spring example to work with Activiti 5.5, and having some trouble. I'm using the process engine configured with activiti under %activiti_home%/apps/apache-tomcat-6.0.32/webapps/activiti-rest.
I modified the spring config file so that it performs an include of my custom spring configuration file:
<import resource="classpath*:applicationContext*.xml"/>
I deployed my applicationContext.xml file to the activiti-rest/WEB-INF/classes folder.
Activiti starts up fine, and I see the System.out.println in my bean constructor, so I know that my spring config is being read and the bean is being constructed. I created a spring bean for the class that implements JavaDelegate and injected my bean to it and it always comes up null.
Here is my Spring Config:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<beans xmlns="http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans"
xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
xmlns:aop="http://www.springframework.org/schema/aop"
xmlns:tx="http://www.springframework.org/schema/tx"
xsi:schemaLocation="
http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans
http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans/spring-beans-3.0.xsd
http://www.springframework.org/schema/tx http://www.springframework.org/schema/tx/spring-tx-3.0.xsd
http://www.springframework.org/schema/aop http://www.springframework.org/schema/aop/spring-aop-3.0.xsd">
<bean id="myBean" class="org.bpmn.examples.MyBean"/>
<bean id="taskBean" class="org.bpmn.examples.GetBeanTest">
<property name="myBean" ref="myBean"/>
</bean>
</beans>
Here is my Bean:
package org.bpmn.examples;
import java.io.Serializable;
public class MyBean implements Serializable {
public MyBean() {
super();
System.out.println("<========================== myBean ===========================>");
System.out.println("<========================== myBean ===========================>");
System.out.println("<========================== myBean ===========================>");
}
/**
*
*/
private static final long serialVersionUID = -2867207654072787909L;
Long id;
String description;
public Long getId() {
return id;
}
public void setId(Long id) {
this.id = id;
}
public String getDescription() {
return description;
}
public void setDescription(String description) {
this.description = description;
}
}
Here is my class that implements the JavaDelegate:
package org.bpmn.examples;
import org.activiti.engine.delegate.DelegateExecution;
import org.activiti.engine.delegate.JavaDelegate;
public class GetBeanTest implements JavaDelegate {
private MyBean myBean;
@Override
public void execute(DelegateExecution execution) throws Exception {
if(myBean == null){
System.out.println("Bean was null!");
}else{
System.out.println("Bean is valid!");
}
}
public void setMyBean(MyBean myBean) {
this.myBean = myBean;
}
}
This all seems pretty straightforward to me, however I think the problem is that Activiti is not using a spring bean in the class that is being invoked on my JavaService task, it is creating a new instance.

How do I get a reference to a Spring Bean either a simple one such as I have here, or one that has been configured as a JPA Entity?
Any/All replies appreciated!

Updated:
In trying to change the activiti-rest app to use the SpringProcessEngineConfiguration instead of the standalone StandaloneProcessEngineConfiguration, I changed the activiti-cfg.xml file in the activiti-cfg.jar file and restarted Tomcat.
I change the xml file to look like this:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<beans xmlns="http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans"
xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
xsi:schemaLocation="http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans/spring-beans.xsd">
<bean id="dataSource" class="org.springframework.jdbc.datasource.SimpleDriverDataSource">
<property name="driverClass" value="org.h2.Driver" />
<property name="url" value="jdbc:h2:tcp://localhost/activiti" />
<property name="username" value="sa" />
<property name="password" value="" />
</bean>
<bean id="processEngineConfiguration" class="org.activiti.spring.SpringProcessEngineConfiguration"/>
<bean id="processEngine" class="org.activiti.spring.ProcessEngineFactoryBean">
<property name="processEngineConfiguration" ref="processEngineConfiguration" />
</bean>
<bean id="transactionManager" class="org.springframework.jdbc.datasource.DataSourceTransactionManager">

<property name="dataSource" ref="dataSource" />
<property name="transactionManager" ref="transactionManager" />
<property name="databaseSchemaUpdate" value="true" />
<property name="jobExecutorActivate" value="false" />
</bean>
<bean id="processEngine" class="org.activiti.spring.ProcessEngineFactoryBean">
<property name="processEngineConfiguration" ref="processEngineConfiguration" />
</bean>
<bean id="repositoryService" factory-bean="processEngine" factory-method="getRepositoryService" />
<bean id="runtimeService" factory-bean="processEngine" factory-method="getRuntimeService" />
<bean id="taskService" factory-bean="processEngine" factory-method="getTaskService" />
<bean id="historyService" factory-bean="processEngine" factory-method="getHistoryService" />
<bean id="managementService" factory-bean="processEngine" factory-method="getManagementService" />
</beans>
When I restarted Tomcat no exceptions appear, however when I bring up Explorer and try to login, I get the following Exception:
INFO: Server startup in 12011 ms
10:32:02,338 ERROR [extensions.webscripts.AbstractRuntime] Exception from executeScript - redirecting to status template error: 05280000 Wrapped Exception (with status template): null
