Description of problem: When opening a process or instance model (through Definition/Instance Details -> View Model), the following can be found in the server log: ERROR [org.jbpm.designer.web.preprocessing.impl.JbpmPreprocessingUnit] ... Failed to setup workitems : null Even though this is logged as an error, nothing seems broken, model is displayed. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): BPMS 6.0 ER3
In case of error designer still shows the business process. It does not however include the workitem definitions for which there are errors in the stencil set. Is this really an issue??
Short answer: Yes, it is an issue. See below for reasons. 1. The message now reads "Failed to setup workitems : Repository with alias dummy not found". 2. It only appears for process and instance model in the Process Management perspectives. It does not appear for processes opened in the Authoring perspective. 3. In the Authoring perspective, I can see the items in service tasks just fine. I can use them in the process definition, no validation errors found. WID validation does not show any errors either. 4. Process definition / instance model with a service task / work item is displayed just fine. If the error isn't logged when working with the Authoring perspective Designer, it also shouldn't be logged when working with the Designer Process Management perspectives. And vice versa. Either there is a problem with the definition or there is not. If the Designer works just fine, gets around the issue and displays the model, then there is no reason to log an error message. More clearly - if there was a problem that might influence other things, but the Designer was able to work around it, WARN level (at most) is appropriate, not ERROR. Especially if it doesn't influence working with the Designer. If there is a problem with the service task / work item used, user should be warned when validating the process.
