Hi,

The blog post is for Camunda 7.15, a version that was released three years ago. You’d have to run it with a supported Java version. Otherwise you can have a look at this example that is up to date with 7.20 and uses Java 17: camunda-bpm-examples/spring-boot-starter/external-task-client/loan-granting-spring-boot-webapp at master · camunda/camunda-bpm-examples · GitHub

Cheers,
Thorben

@thorben thank you a lot!
i did it on SB 2.7.15, Camunda 7.19.0 and Java17

as i see. there are two ways.

you can implement ExternalTaskHandler
or
do it via configuration by creating beans which handle tasks

Yes. That should be unrelated to your problem.
