Joris De Winne [http://community.jboss.org/people/joris.dewinne] created the discussion "jBPM 4.3 deployment on oracle" To view the discussion, visit: http://community.jboss.org/message/556628#556628 -------------------------------------------------------------- I'm having an issue with one specific process deploying it on an oracle db. In total I've around 20 business process definitions. When the one specific process is included, I can not start any process execution. Not even an execution that has nothing to do with it. Also when going to the jBPM console I can not see the process definitions. My configuration: - jBPM 4.3 - Oracle driver: 10.2.0.1.0 - Using the ant task to deploy: org.jbpm.pvm.internal.ant.JbpmDeployTask The process definition that is giving the problems: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <process xmlns="http://jbpm.org/4.0/jpdl" name="notifySigningFinished">    <start name="start1" g="21,233,48,48"><transition to="getBundle"/></start>    <!-- Check if bundle is both signed -->    <java ejb-jndi-name="SignatureProcessBean/local" method="getBundle" name="getBundle" var="bundle" g="200,162,92,48">       <arg><object expr="#{bundleId}"/></arg>

Some additional remarks: I've had similar problems with oracle in the past (deploying jBPM business processes). I could fix them by removing all xml comments from the jpdl files and also any DOS line feeds. When doing a google search on this issue, I can find one related post ( http://permalink.gmane.org/gmane.comp.java.jboss.user/293637 http://permalink.gmane.org/gmane.comp.java.jboss.user/293637), but I can not find back that message in the user forums, so no idea if there's a solution for this.
