Bonita home for Bonita BPM 7.4

Q&A
1

Trying to run Bonita BPM with Spring Boot using https://github.com/bonitasoft/bonita-examples/blob/1.0.0/embedded-engine-example
I’m still getting

Exception encountered during context initialization - cancelling refresh attempt: org.springframework.beans.factory.BeanCreationException: Error creating bean with name ‘application’: Invocation of init method failed; nested exception is java.lang.RuntimeException: The system property bonita.home is not set. Please, set this property with the path to the bonita home folder.
You can get a bonita home from BonitaBPMCommunity-<bonita.engine.version>-deploy.zip or use the one generated under
the folder target/home on this project by running the command ‘mvn clean install’.

I know I have to set bonita.home property but the value is unknown.
System.setProperty(“bonita.home”, “C:\BonitaBPMCommunity-7.4.0-deploy\???”);

Thanks!

Yeah, that’s not gonna work, that’s for 6.x.x and will be different for 7.4.x

also as far as I remember there is only one bonita home now as of 7.x.x.

would refer to the 7.x.x documentation here:

Thanks for the reply.

I’ve seen the documentation. I’m trying to configure my application with this chapter: http://documentation.bonitasoft.com/?page=create-your-first-project-with-the-engine-apis-and-maven

Application.java:

imports…
public class Application {
public static void main(String args) {
APITypeManager.setAPITypeAndParams(ApiAccessType.LOCAL, null);

        try {
            LoginAPI loginAPI = TenantAPIAccessor.getLoginAPI();
        } catch (BonitaHomeNotSetException e) {
            System.out.println("Set Bonita Home");
        } catch (ServerAPIException e) {
            System.out.println("Server API Exception");
        } catch (UnknownAPITypeException e) {
            System.out.println("Unknwon API Type");
        }

    }
}

pom.xml:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <project xmlns="http://maven.apache.org/POM/4.0.0" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:schemaLocation="http://maven.apache.org/POM/4.0.0 http://maven.apache.org/xsd/maven-4.0.0.xsd"> <modelVersion>4.0.0</modelVersion> <properties> <bonita.bpm.version>7.4.0</bonita.bpm.version> </properties> <dependencies> <dependency> <groupId>org.bonitasoft.engine</groupId> <artifactId>bonita-client</artifactId> <version>${bonita.bpm.version}</version> </dependency> </dependencies> <groupId>com.company</groupId> <artifactId>bonitaMavenCustom</artifactId> <version>1.0-SNAPSHOT</version> </project>

After running I get
java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: org.bonitasoft.engine.api.impl.ServerAPIFactory.

Any tips?

I’ve seen the documentation. I’m using this guide: http://documentation.bonitasoft.com/?page=create-your-first-project-with-the-engine-apis-and-maven
I’m sure I’m missing something. I think I’m not the only one: http://community.bonitasoft.com/questions-and-answers/bonita-home-and-properties-bonita-702
Thanks.

A Tip on displaying CODE/LOGS correctly in Posts:

Do not use the Supplied Buttons above, for some reason they refuse to work correctly, and despite bringing it to Bonitasofts attention, it’s low priority.

To Show Code/Logs correctly use

< code >
your code/log
< /code >

removing the spaces to allow the showing of code/logs correctly as here:

your code/log

You should still be able to edit your post to ensure the correct formatting of the code to help us understand it easier.

Thanks and regards
