[jboss-user] [jBPM] - jBPM 4.3 Spring bean as event listener

Peter Swartwout [http://community.jboss.org/people/spincycle] created the discussion "jBPM 4.3 Spring bean as event listener" To view the discussion, visit: http://community.jboss.org/message/534774#534774 -------------------------------------------------------------- I have followed the recommendations in the developer's guide for doing Spring integration with jBPM 4.3. My application deploys to JBoss 5, and the server starts cleanly. Here's my issue: I want my processes to be able to use Spring beans for event listeners. The relevant process code is: The bean id "processListener" is defined in my Spring config, and the expression #{processListener} is evaluated to the correct class name, but the class is instantiated by jBPM instead of Spring. So the bean's Spring properties are not injected, so of course I get NPE's whenever they are used. I was hoping the "expr" attribute would behave like Spring's "ref" attribute and make use of an existing bean if there is one. Is there any way to get what I want?  Does it mean that only jBPM beans can be used as event listeners? -------------------------------------------------------------- Reply to this message by going to Community [http://community.jboss.org/message/534774#534774] Start a new discussion in jBPM at Community [http://community.jboss.org/choose-container!input.jspa?contentType=1&...]
