Hi,
I am trying to do the travel request in the getting started, but when I submit the initiation form I got the following error:
**USERNAME=helen.kelly | org.bonitasoft.engine.core.process.instance.api.exceptions.SProcessInstanceCreationException: PROCESS_DEFINITION_ID=4777866935891891811 | PROCESS_NAME=Travel Request | PROCESS_VERSION=1.0 | org.bonitasoft.engine.expression.exception.SExpressionEvaluationException: groovy.lang.MissingMethodException: No signature of method: com.company.model.TravelRequest.setDepartureDate() is applicable for argument types: (null) values: [null]
Possible solutions: setDepatureDate(java.util.Date), getDepatureDate()
**
can someone help? whet is wrong
Thanks in advance.

Hi nasser,
I had the same problem. The reason is the documentation which is wrong in some parts. Search for “departure” and “depature” and make sure you just use one of those variants, ideally the one without the typo 
After fixing this, I could run the process without problems.
(but there seem to be more problems with the documentation, because the application page does’nt show any data for me in the “my pending requests” and “my approved requests” tables)
I have this error when click Start
USERNAME=helen.kelly | javax.persistence.PersistenceException: org.hibernate.exception.ConstraintViolationException: could not execute statement
Hello, suddenly the script to catch the userName stopped working. I have this service task:
![service task][service task]
[service task]: http://i.imgur.com/gCI6lsB.png
with this script:
return BonitaUsers.getProcessInstanceInitiator(apiAccessor,processInstanceId).getUserName();
It works correctly, but suddenly I get this error in bonita.log. In other process the same has occurred. I have checke “resolve dependencies automatically”.

Hi,
I am using bonitasoft 7.4.1 version i following the Getting started videos and documentation from official website.
while creating travel req getting error
( USERNAME=helen.kelly | org.bonitasoft.engine.persistence.SRetryableException: javax.persistence.PersistenceException: org.hibernate.PropertyValueException: not-null property references a null or transient value: com.company.model.TravelRequest.reason)
please help me anyone.
In Pool variables, i edit the business data variables here i have attached the code.
def travelRequestVar = new com.company.model.TravelRequest()
travelRequestVar.departureDate = travelRequestInput.departureDate
travelRequestVar.numberOfNights = travelRequestInput.numberOfNights
travelRequestVar.hotelNeeded = travelRequestInput.hotelNeeded
travelRequestVar.destination = travelRequestInput.destination
travelRequestVar.reason = travelRequestInput.reason3
travelRequestVar.status = “pending”
travelRequestVar.userId = BonitaUsers.getProcessInstanceInitiator(apiAccessor, processInstanceId).getUserName();
return travelRequestVar
I wrote the line as per the video : http://www.bonitasoft.com/resources/videos/getting-started-tutorial
travelRequestVar.userId = BonitaUsers.getProcessInstanceInitiator(APIAccessor, (long) processInstanceId).id
It worked (no error) after I re-wrote it as per the article: http://documentation.bonitasoft.com/6.x-7.2/getting-started-tutorial-2
travelRequestVar.userId = BonitaUsers.getProcessInstanceInitiator(apiAccessor, processInstanceId).id
(note the APIAccessor vs apiAccessor in both lines)
After going deeper into the getting started tutorial I think I found the reason why the application page does’nt show any pending or approved requests: The example never instantiates the userId variable with a value… The only variable we instantiate with a value ist status:
import com.company.model.TravelRequest;
TravelRequest newTravelRequest = new TravelRequest();
newTravelRequest.setUserId(travelRequestTravelRequest.userId);
newTravelRequest.setDepartureDate(travelRequestTravelRequest.departureDate);
newTravelRequest.setNumberOfNights(travelRequestTravelRequest.numberOfNights);
newTravelRequest.setHotelNeeded(travelRequestTravelRequest.hotelNeeded);
newTravelRequest.setDestination(travelRequestTravelRequest.destination);
newTravelRequest.setReason(travelRequestTravelRequest.reason);
newTravelRequest.setStatus(“pending”);
return newTravelRequest;
Does anyone know how to set the value for the userId?
I made the TravelTool Overview page working fine with just filtering by status, so I am sure this is the reason (of course problem then is that any request is shown)
Hello peterp_va,
to do it I add a service task between start event and Manager review task.
In this service task, go to operations tab and add a new operation:
Select BDM “travelRequest”, select java method and select “setUserId”. Insert a script named “getUserId” with this code:
return BonitaUsers.getProcessInstanceInitiator(apiAccessor,processInstanceId).getUserName();
This update de travelRequest.UserId value to the initiator username.
I hope you find it useful. I’m sorry for my English. Regards,
Actually you can replace directly in the script:
travelRequestTravelRequest.userId
with
BonitaUsers.getProcessInstanceInitiator(apiAccessor,processInstanceId).getUserName().
It’s simpler than creating an additional task with an operation.
Thank you all for your support, all the best.
Thanks antoine, this works for me so far.
But for the getting started tutorial to work we need the Userid of the ProcessInstanceInitiator instead of the user name. How to retrieve the id?
Simply replace getUserName() by getId().
You can refer to the javadoc for all methods available on Bonita User Java class.
I already tried this, but I can’t submit the form then.
I realized that the attribute TravelRequest.userId was created with data type string but the returned userId is of type long so type conversion was the way to go:
newTravelRequest.setUserId(String.valueOf(BonitaUsers.getProcessInstanceInitiator(apiAccessor,processInstanceId).getId()));
Now, it works like a charm for me
Thank you all for your ideas, great to have this community support!
There are a couple of errors in the documentation “Getting_started_tutorial” in addition to documented by peterp_va.
“Update the application page”

Thanks for the feedback! I’m actually updating the documentation and just found the same issue. Update should be available soon on official documentation page.
Hi Antoine,
Is the update available yet, and when will the release notes for 7.1.0 be available?
thanks and regards
