du feng [https://community.jboss.org/people/dufeng] created the discussion "Need help:Class not found when run the JBPM 5.3 progress in Jboss As 7 servertt" To view the discussion, visit: https://community.jboss.org/message/763572#763572 -------------------------------------------------------------- I have designed a workflow process with JBPM 5.3 eclipse designer and planed to start this workflow in the session bean which was deployed in the Jboss 7.1.1 server. The client application use JNDI to find the session bean and invoke the methods with the interface but the Jboss server can't find the JBPM related classes "org.drools.builder.KnowledgeBuilderFactory". Should I add the JBPM as a extension module to Jboss server? or there is another way to configure the runtime enviorment in Jboss server to find the JBPM API class?Please give some gudiences on that. Thanks a lot. The following is the soruce code and the reporting error from Jboss server. //Remote interface public interface SFWorkFlowOperation {           public boolean startWorkFlow(String WorkFlowBpmnName,String processID);           public void setWorkFlowTimer(int timeInterval); } //Stateless Session Bean which use the JBPM to start the special workflow instance. import
