jBPM process does not start?

Hi everybody,

I stumbled over jBPM a few days ago and now I am trying to integrate it into my project. But since I'd like to play around with it a little bit I created a dummy-view with a button to create a process (called order). It's bound to the createProcess() method.

	public void createProcess()
	{
		createJbpmProcess();
	}
	
	@CreateProcess(definition="order")
	private String createJbpmProcess()
	{
		log.info(TestHelper.class.getCanonicalName(), "started jBPM process");
		return "success";
	}

Logger prints the given line but

• No ProcessInstance is persisted into the database
• server.log doesn't state anything about a process being created
• The action expression (in my start-node) isn't evaluated (System.out.println(hi)).

I'd expect at least one of those to happen. How can I find out if my Process is created correctly? Or did I do something wrong?

Thanks for your help!
