Unable to save process from process-designer after moving it from Eclipse (NPE)

created by mcfeber in jBPM - View the full discussion

I am using guvnor 5.4.0 Final and process-designer.2.2.1.Final in tomcat 7.

 

I import (Add... via webdav) a simple bpmn2 process (start,script,stop) from Eclipse, open it in the designer, make a small change (move the icons) and select save. 

 

The designer reports:

 

400 Sorry, a technical error occurred. Please contact a system administrator.

 

The catalina.out has the following (partial) stack trace:

ERROR 25-07 11:54:33,597 (LoggingHelper.java:error:74)   Service method 'public abstract java.lang.String org.drools.guvnor.client.rpc.AssetService.checkinVersion(org.drools.guvnor.client.rpc.Asset) throws com.google.gwt.user.client.rpc.SerializationException' threw an unexpected exception: java. ang.NullPointerException

After that, any attempt to save the process results in the following message:

 

Error: Unable to save this asset, as it has been recently updated by [admin]

 

I've tried this with validation (after creating the PNG) where the designer reports it as valid and without validation, and the result is the same.  Is there a way around this?  I need to be able to round-trip processes between Eclipse and guvnor.
