Hi! Currently I'm testing with drool's build 111 and jbpm build 72 and when using a workitem together with persistence I get: java.lang.ClassCastException: org.hibernate.ejb.EntityManagerFactoryImpl cannot be cast to org.drools.persistence.PersistenceContextManager at org.drools.persistence.jpa.processinstance.JPAWorkItemManager.internalAbortWorkItem(JPAWorkItemManager.java:67) at org.jbpm.workflow.instance.node.WorkItemNodeInstance.cancel(WorkItemNodeInstance.java:216) at org.jbpm.workflow.instance.impl.WorkflowProcessInstanceImpl.setState(WorkflowProcessInstanceImpl.java:256) at org.jbpm.workflow.instance.node.WorkItemNodeInstance.internalTrigger(WorkItemNodeInstance.java:105) at org.jbpm.workflow.instance.impl.NodeInstanceImpl.trigger(NodeInstanceImpl.java:122) at org.jbpm.workflow.instance.impl.NodeInstanceImpl.triggerConnection(NodeInstanceImpl.java:185) at org.jbpm.workflow.instance.impl.NodeInstanceImpl.triggerCompleted(NodeInstanceImpl.java:150) Processes without workitems are getting persisted orderly. Any ideas? Thanks juergen -- View this message in context: http://drools-java-rules-engine.46999.n3.nabble.com/Class-Cast-Exception-... Sent from the Drools - User mailing list archive at Nabble.com.
