Hi all,

I'm always running in a NPE with BPMN 2.0 (jBPM 4.3) and Spring 2.5.3.

This is my testcase:

    @Test
    public void testAsyncCalls(){
        //deploy process
        repositoryService.createDeployment().addResourceFromClasspath("async_service_call.bpmn.xml").deploy();
        
        //start instance
        ProcessInstance instance = executionService.startProcessInstanceByKey("foobar");
        Assert.assertNotNull(instance);
        
        //get instance id
        String iid = instance.getId();
        
        //set instance id as variable
        executionService.setVariable(iid, "instanceId", iid);
        
        //signal first execution
        Execution e1 = instance.findActiveExecutionIn("r1");
        Assert.assertNotNull(e1);
        executionService.signalExecutionById(e1.getId());
        
        //get instance back
        ProcessInstance instance2 = executionService.findProcessInstanceById(iid);
        Assert.assertNotNull(instance2);
        
        //check if the var has been set
        Assert.assertEquals("foo", executionService.getVariable(iid, "v1"));
        
        //signal second execution
        Execution e2 = instance2.findActiveExecutionIn("r2");
        Assert.assertNotNull(e2);
        ProcessInstance instance3 = executionService.signalExecutionById(e2.getId());
        
        //check if the instance has been ended
        Assert.assertTrue(instance3.isEnded());
    }

This is the process:

    <!-- process definition -->

        <bpmn:serviceTask id="st1" name="st1" implementation="Other" operationRef="o1"/>
        
        <bpmn:sequenceFlow id="f3" name="st1_2_r2" sourceRef="st1" targetRef="r2" />
        <!-- end -->
        
        <!-- 
        <bpmn:sequenceFlow id="fx" name="r1_2_r2" sourceRef="r1" targetRef="r2" />

        <bpmn:receiveTask id="r2" name="r2" />
        
        <bpmn:sequenceFlow id="f4" name="r2_2_e1" sourceRef="r2" targetRef="e1" />

        <bpmn:endEvent id="e1" name="e1" />            
    </bpmn:process>
</bpmn:definitions>

and this is the service I want to call:

package mocks;
 
public class Mock01 {
        
    public String call(String var){
        System.out.println(var);
        return "foo";
    }
 
}

If I comment out the lines between 'start' and 'end' in my process (and comment in the flow between r1 and r2) no NPE happens (of cource the test fails). But if I run the process as it is, I will get a npe. Can onyone give me a hint where the problem is?

Thanks in advance - Claus
