To view the discussion, visit: http://community.jboss.org/message/551223#551223 -------------------------------------------------------------- Hi All, I am using JBPM with Spring. My process definition contains Java tasks as follows: *process name="ddrRequest" xmlns="* http://jbpm.org/4.3/jpdl *http://jbpm.org/4.3/jpdl**"> <start g="612,-10,48,48">   <transition g="-68,-6" name="analystResearch"    to="analystResearch" /> </start> <java  class="com.collabera.poc.jbpm.custom.ReviewerResearchImpl" method="printHelloWorld" var="request"   name="analystResearch" g="198,171,80,40"> <arg><object expr="#{request}"/></arg>       <transition g="-68,-18" name="startDecisionHandler" to="startDecisionHandler"/>     </java> <decision g="431,94,48,48" name="startDecisionHandler">   <handler />   <transition g="991,122:-112,-18" name="to Waiting Assignment"    to="Waiting Assignment" />     <transition g="-104,-18" name="to Being Researched" to="Being Researched" /> </decision>* ** And the java task class(com.collabera.poc.jbpm.custom.ReviewerResearchImpl) is as follows: *public class ReviewerResearchImpl { /**   *   */ private static final long serialVersionUID = 1L; private RequestService requestService; public RequestService getRequestService() {   return requestService; }* *public void setRequestService(RequestService requestService) {   this.requestService = requestService; }* *public ReviewerResearchImpl() { * *} public DdrRequest printHelloWorld(Request request) {   System.out.println("Region=========="+request.getRegion());   request.setRegion("CHINA");   //Database update   requestService.saveRequest(ddrRequest)     return request;* *} * * }* My doubt is I am using spring also So when instantiating the  *com.collabera.poc.jbpm.custom.ReviewerResearchImpl* class from the jbpm  whether its property RequestService requestService also gets instatiated because in spring config file I have the following snippet: *<bean id="reviewerResearch" class="com.collabera.poc.jbpm.custom.ReviewerResearchImpl">     <property name="requestService">    <ref bean="requestService" />   </property> </bean> <bean id="requestService"/>* If not how can i make use of Spring to instantiate the jbpm java task class (for Eg: com.collabera.poc.jbpm.custom.ReviewerResearchImpl) and its associated classes (for eg:RequestService requestService).? Please let me know about this as soon as possible. I have stucked in this point. PLease help......
