Camunda fox client - Listener startup error

Question

I'm using camunda 7.0.0-Final with fox client included. When I redeloy my application I get the following error.

    Exception sending context initialized event to listener instance of class 
    com.camunda.fox.client.impl.web.ProcessArchiveServletContextListener

REMARK: I added the following lines to the tomcat 7 logging.properties file in the conf subdirectory of the server

    com.camunda.fox.client.level    = DEBUG
    com.camunda.fox.client.handlers = java.util.logging.ConsoleHandler

From the source code line ProcessArchiveServletContextListener.java:28 I guess that the injection of the variable

     @Inject
    private ProcessArchiveSupport processArchiveSupport;

works not like expected. Do I have to configure something to get the injection working?

Answer 1

It seems you mix camunda fox 6.2 Process Applications with camunda BPM 7.0 platform. This does not work. You have to migrate your Process Application as described in our migration guide. Then you will have a shiny working camunda BPM 7.0 application :-)
