Camunda Spring Shared Process Engine

Camunda 7 Topics Discussion & Questions

Hi,
I am trying to run Camunda Spring using shared process engine according to your example given in https://docs.camunda.org/stable/guides/getting-started-guides/spring-framework/.

There are 2 things different in my project and i.e. I am using gradle instead of maven and I have mentioned the process engine dependecy as
compile “org.camunda.bpm:camunda-engine:${camundaVersion}”

and another difference is that I am using Spring version 4.3.5.

Upon deploying my project it gives NullPointerException wherever I am autowiring the ProcessEngine or any of its component.

Can you please help?

Thanks
Bikash

Hi @Bikash1993,

Which Camunda version do you use?
I saw that your are referring to the old version of the guide. I am not sure what are the differences between the old one and the new but I think it is good idea to check the 7.8 guide:
https://docs.camunda.org/get-started/spring/

Best regards,

Hi Yana,
I am using Camunda 7.8 and I have checked that link as well I think it’s the same configuration as the old one.Please correct me if I am wrong.

Hi Bikash,

I am sorry for the late reply.
I guess the problem is because you are using Spring version 4.3.5.
This version is currently not supported.
Can you try with 3.1.2?

Best regards,
