Flowable modeler returns "Unexpected error: could not save model" with jetty

Hi,

I want to save a bpmn.xml model in the flowable modeler (v5.22) and it returns “Unexpected error: could not save model”.
The problem only occurs when I use Jetty. I tried the exact same thing under tomcat and there was no problem.

There was no sign of this in the logs. I increased the loglevel to DEBUG and notices this stacktrace:

Anyone had this problem before?

Thanks in advance,

Hi,

No didn’t see this before. We’ll do some testing with Jetty to see if we can find the cause of this issue.

Best regards,

Tijs

I talked with @verheyenkoen and apparenlty this is not a ‘jetty’ issue. He has the same problem with the latest Tomcat.

We haven’t figured it out yet.

The model gets saved but then there is an error while rendering the image.

Anybody else had this issue and knows how to fix it?

I have the same problem with tomcat, have you fix it?

verheyenkoen · July 12, 2018, 9:59am

No still struggling on…

verheyenkoen · October 1, 2018, 2:58pm

Managed to resolve this by reinstalling it on a new tomcat docker container (on Docker community edition for Mac). Don’t know what I did different than before. Maybe a bug with an older version of the docker host software.
