Runtime error in Workspace after invoking an "Initiator"

Question

I'm curious if anyone has figured out how to get a human initiator task working. I'm getting an error at runtime when it's invoked and am a bit embarassed I cannot figure out what the cause is.
Thanks - here's here's the error:
Cannot create instance in process 'default/AvioTest2!1.1*f12adf1d-8b79-4867-b2d9-8da0247dfb9d/OrderManagement'.

Answer 1

I am watching this post closely because I actually have the same error:
Error in routing slip. Error in evaluating parameter TASK_ASSIGNEE in the routing slip. The error is XPath expression failed to execute. An error occurs while processing the XPath expression; the expression is bpm:getPerformer(). The XPath expression failed to execute; the reason was: internal xpath error. Check the detailed root cause described in the exception message text and verify that the XPath query is correct. . The routing slip is associated with the task definition default/ProvSancDemo!1.0*8555707a-50ba-4d88-8748-e29f219c9b70/EnterPotentialSanction. Make sure that the parameter TASK_ASSIGNEE is specified correctly.
I had it in a process last week but figured it had become corrupted or something, so I created a new liittle BPM project from scratch this weekend and got the same result.
My organization seems OK:
<ns1:applicationRole isProcessRole="true">
<ns5:name>ProvSancDemo.Role</ns5:name>
<ns1:member type="USER">
<ns1:realm>jazn.com</ns1:realm>
<ns1:name>jcooper</ns1:name>
</ns1:member>
<ns1:processRole name="Provider Sanction Clerk" id="Role"/>
</ns1:applicationRole>
It seems to be something related to that bpm:getPerformer method not being found. When I look at the Human Task and browse the Assignment - Participant Type dialog, it is looking for Application Role by Expression bpm:egtPerformer....but this value is not found in the expression builder.
I also get these warnings when I deploy:
Buildfile: C:\Oracle\Middleware\jdev_bpmbeta\jdeveloper\bin\ant-sca-compile.xml
scac:
[scac] Validating composite : 'C:\JDeveloper\mywork\ProvSancDemo\ProvSancDemo\composite.xml'
[scac] WARNING: in EnterPotentialSanction.task: Check the application context for resource identityType: application_role, type: XPATH, value: bpm:getPerformer()
[scac] WARNING: in EnterPotentialSanction.task: Task owner not specified
[scac] WARNING: in EnterPotentialSanction.task: Error assignee not specified
I have deployed and successfully executed other processes, but not this one. I had another person take my process and try it and they were also not able to deploy it and run it.
If it would help, I can zip it up and send it.
