David Harris [https://community.jboss.org/people/dmwpepper] created the discussion "XML error on process variable" To view the discussion, visit: https://community.jboss.org/message/810374#810374 -------------------------------------------------------------- I have a basic .java file that passes in a parameter: package com.sample.quickstarts; import java.util.HashMap; import java.util.Map; import org.drools.runtime.StatefulKnowledgeSession; import org.drools.runtime.process.ProcessInstance; import org.jbpm.test.JbpmJUnitTestCase; import org.junit.Test; public class JavaServiceQuickstartTest extends JbpmJUnitTestCase{ @Test public void testProcess () {     StatefulKnowledgeSession ksession = createKnowledgeSession("sample.bpmn2");   Map<String, Object> params = new HashMap<String, Object>();   params.put("person", new Person("krisv"));   ksession.startProcess("com.sample.bpmn2.hello", params);   } } In the .bpmn2 properties area, I added a Person object for the parameter I'm passing ('params.put("person", new Person("krisv"));')  When I execute the process, I get the following:            0 25/04 13:36:17,316[main] ERROR drools.xml.ExtensibleXmlParser.error - (null: 15, 54): cvc-datatype-valid.1.2.1: '' is not            a valid value for 'QName'.            0 25/04 13:36:17,316[main] ERROR drools.xml.ExtensibleXmlParser.error - (null: 15, 54): cvc-attribute.3: The value '' of            attribute 'structureRef' on element 'itemDefinition' is not valid with respect to its type, 'QName'.            person: krisv  I expected 'person:krisv'.  Why is there a drools xml error and how can I get rid off it? -------------------------------------------------------------- Reply to this message by going to Community [https://community.jboss.org/message/810374#810374] Start a new discussion in jBPM at Community [https://community.jboss.org/choose-container!input.jspa?contentType=1&...]
