ServiceTask - FlowableClassLoadingException: Could not load class

Flowable Application
1

I have a ServiceTask referencing my own class org.flowable.Cases.

I developed this Java class using Eclipse with Maven, and got the Jar using the Create Deployment Artifacts option, put this Jar in the tomcat/lib folder, and restarted Tomcat

I’m getting the following error when the execution of the process reaches the ServiceTask:

Caused by: org.flowable.engine.common.api.FlowableClassLoadingException: Could not load class: org.flowable.Cases

Hi,

Create deployment artifacts generates a BAR file that can be deployed on the Flowable Engine and includes the BPMN XML file, but not the Java classes.
You just need to create a normal JAR artifact like you would do with any other Java Maven project. And then just make this JAR file available on the classpath, tomcat/lib or the application WEB-INF/lib folder.

Best regards,

Tijs
