Kris, I have followed your instructions and downloaded all files related to, https://hudson.jboss.org/hudson/job/drools/lastSuccessfulBuild/artifact/trunk/target/
which are snapshot 5.2.0 and also the designer from, http://anonsvn.jboss.org/repos/labs/labs/jbossrules/contrib/designer/1.0.0.026-SNAPSHOT/ (when everything works fine i will also try the latest designer from http://github.com/intalio/process-designer as mentioned by Antoine) The aim is to simply upload the sample.bpmn as generated from eclipse to a package on guvnor (i.e. defaultPackage) and compile the package in order to view and run the process from gwt-console (since if it is not compiled no process definitions are shown). I think i have tried all possible combinations i.e. 5.1.1 and 5.2.0 files (drools runtime, guvnor, gwt-console, gwt-console-server, eclipse plugin), only eclipse 5.2.0 and the rest 5.1.1 (all in jboss-5.1.0.GA) as well as the 5.1.1 standalone guvnor (jboss-4.2.3.GA). All installations take place via ant and the corresponding build.xml. Whenever I try to compile an added package in guvnor (i.e. defaultPackage) i get, unable to parse xml : Exception class java.lang.NullPointerException : null if i login to gwt-console and try to get process definitions ( I would simply expect nothing....) I get, [ERROR] <ul><li>URL: 'http://localhost:8080/gwt-console-server/rs/process/definitions' <li>Action: 'org.jboss.bpm.console.client.process.UpdateDefinitionsAction' <li>Exception: 'class java.io.IOException'</ul> Request timeout java.io.IOException: Request timeout at Unknown.MDb(Unknown source:0) at Unknown.$uc(Unknown source:0) at Unknown.Jw(Unknown source:0) at Unknown.anonymous(Unknown source:0) at Unknown.mz(Unknown source:0) at Unknown.anonymous(Unknown source:0) Finally if i try to open the bpmn with the 1.0.0.026-SNAPSHOT designer i get, HTTP Status 500 - java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: Could not initialize class org.oryxeditor.server.EditorHandler .... Okay, I'm full of problems , but the most important one is not being able to compile a package in order to use the gwt-console for viewing and running the processes. Is anyone else facing the same "unable to parse xml : Exception class java.lang.NullPointerException : null " problem?? I would greatly appreciate any help , thanks.... -- View this message in context: http://drools-java-rules-engine.46999.n3.nabble.com/process-designer-deserialization-error-tp1833481p1848852.html Sent from the Drools - User mailing list archive at Nabble.com. _______________________________________________ rules-users mailing list rules-users@lists.jboss.org https://lists.jboss.org/mailman/listinfo/rules-users
