[jbpm-issues] [JBoss JIRA] Updated: (JBPM-2636) NPE in Configuration.getProcessEngine() when using jbpm.jbossremote.cfg.xml

NPE in Configuration.getProcessEngine() when using jbpm.jbossremote.cfg.xml --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Key: JBPM-2636 URL: https://jira.jboss.org/browse/JBPM-2636 Project: jBPM Issue Type: Bug Security Level: Public(Everyone can see) Affects Versions: jBPM 4.2 Environment: Windows XP, JDK 6, JBoss, Oracle 10g Reporter: Mark Roy Fix For: jBPM 4.x In jBPM 4.1, using the following jbpm.cfg.xml in my simple test app worked: Code: <jbpm-configuration> <import resource="jbpm.jbossremote.cfg.xml" /> </jbpm-configuration> Since upgrading to 4.2, however, I now get a NPE: Code: java.lang.NullPointerException at org.jbpm.pvm.internal.cfg.ProcessEngineImpl.checkDb(ProcessEngineImpl.java:177) at org.jbpm.pvm.internal.cfg.ProcessEngineImpl.buildProcessEngine(ProcessEngineImpl.java:170) at org.jbpm.api.Configuration.getProcessEngine(Configuration.java:161) at org.jbpm.test.JbpmTestCase.initialize(JbpmTestCase.java:81) at org.jbpm.test.JbpmTestCase.setUp(JbpmTestCase.java:76) at com.mydomain..ReviewProcess.setUp(ReviewProcess.java:24) at junit.framework.TestCase.runBare(TestCase.java:132) at junit.framework.TestResult$1.protect(TestResult.java:110) at junit.framework.TestResult.runProtected(TestResult.java:128) at junit.framework.TestResult.run(TestResult.java:113) at junit.framework.TestCase.run(TestCase.java:124) at junit.framework.TestSuite.runTest(TestSuite.java:232) at junit.framework.TestSuite.run(TestSuite.java:227) at org.eclipse.jdt.internal.junit.runner.junit3.JUnit3TestReference.run(JUnit3TestReference.java:13 0) at org.eclipse.jdt.internal.junit.runner.TestExecution.run(TestExecution.java:38) at org.eclipse.jdt.internal.junit.runner.RemoteTestRunner.runTests(RemoteTestRunner.java:467) at org.eclipse.jdt.internal.junit.runner.RemoteTestRunner.runTests(RemoteTestRunner.java:683) at org.eclipse.jdt.internal.junit.runner.RemoteTestRunner.run(RemoteTestRunner.java:390) at org.eclipse.jdt.internal.junit.runner.RemoteTestRunner.main(RemoteTestRunner.java:197) I traced this to the fact the userCommandService is assigned null from the following: Code: userCommandService = (CommandService) processEngineWireContext.get(CommandService.NAME_TX_REQUIR ED_COMMAND_SERVICE); This problem can be easily reproduced using the examples included in the distribution.
