I am running the rest-api-example from the documentation and I get the following error:

Deploying organization …
Exception in thread “main” java.lang.RuntimeException: java.lang.RuntimeException: Failed : HTTP error code : 500 : Internal Server Error

I use:
Bonita BPMCommunity-6.4.1-Tomcat-7.0.55

java version “1.7.0_71”
Java™ SE Runtime Environment (build 1.7.0_71-b14)
Java HotSpot™ 64-Bit Server VM (build 24.71-b01, mixed mode)

Operating System: Windows 8.1 64-bit

How do I solve this problem?

Hi,
Can you provide a link to the documentation page with the example you are referring to, so that we can have a look ?

Thanks
Are you sure the organization file you try to import is well formatted for version 6.4.1 ? You can try to import it in the portal to make sure that it is valid.
You should also check in the logs of your tomcat bundle (logs directory, bonita*.log files). You probably have an error message with a stack trace.

Hope that helps

Hi,

Have you found a way to solve this issue ?
I have the same issue now and I don’t know why…

Thanks in advance

Hi,

Here is the full procedure to run the example, adapted to BonitaBPM version 7.1.0 :

  1. Download the source of the example from GitHub.

  2. Edit the tag with your version in bonita-examples-master/rest-api-example/pom.xml

  3. Update the version :

    org.bonitasoft.engine
    bonita-client
    7.1.0

  4. Compile it with Maven: mvn clean install. This creates a jar and a zip file called rest-api-example-1.0.0-SNAPSHOT.jar and rest-api-example-1.0.0-SNAPSHOT.zip.

  5. Important : Start your BonitaBPM Tomcat server version 7.1.0. Your tomcat must be up and running, you must see the login page at http://localhost:8080/bonita/ for example.

  6. Unzip rest-api-example-1.0.0-SNAPSHOT.zip.

  7. Go inside the unzipped folder and go to lib folder.

  8. Open your Studio 7.1.0 and export the ACME organization.

  9. Replace the ACME.xml file found in rest-api-example-1.0.0-SNAPSHOT/lib/ACME.xml file by the one you’ve just exported from your Studio.

  10. Start the application: java -jar rest-api-example-1.0.0-SNAPSHOT.jar

Hi,
I can only give you the same answer:
Are you sure the organization file you try to import is well formatted for the version of bonita you are using ? You can try to import it in the portal to make sure that it is valid.
You should also check in the logs of your tomcat bundle (logs directory, bonita*.log files). You probably have an error message with a stack trace.
