Thank you Francesco,
I have kept 1.2.1 for the moment but I was able to follow the
remaining steps using your updated instructions.
I did notice that you had a type-o in the property change in
consoleContext.xml, you have "file:/etc/pache-..." instead of
"file:///etc/apache-...".
Oh sure :-)
Now that I have Activiti modeler running is there some kind of a
reference as to what is passed to the workflows? The decisions points
and flows and such but I don't know what I can use for conditions. I
can infer a few from the default workflow but I would like to try out
a few workflows like requesting approval for access to certain Roles
and so on. I just don't know what options I have for decision
making. Or for that matter how to add new approval notifications...
No such reference available (yet?): probably you'd better explain here
what you want to achieve exactly and we can provide some hints or
address to specific samples.
Regards.

I have gotten to a point where the "Activiti Modeler" button is
no longer greyed out but I am not getting it to work.
I have installed syncope from debian package. I have installed
maven2 and gotten a "target" directory.
I am working in /root/activity. The syncope-deb build seems to
contain a oryx.debug.js-tokenValueMap.properties file so I've
used that one.
My pom.xml contains:
<activiti-modeler.directory>/usr/share/apache-syncope</activiti-modeler.directory>
<tokenValueMap>/etc/apache-syncope/oryx.debug.js-tokenValueMap.properties</tokenValueMap>
I've noticed that the deb comes with a console.properties in
/etc/apache-syncope, but it seems the one in the WEB-INF
directory is the one that's used.
I copied /root/activity/target/activiti-webapp-explorer2 to
/var/lib/tomcat7/webapps.
/var/lib/tomcat7/webapps/syncope-console/WEB-INF/classes/console.properties
contains:
scheme=https
host=my-real-hostname.example.com
<http://my-real-hostname.example.com>
port=8443
rootPath=/syncope/rest/
activitiModelerDirectory=/var/lib/tomcat7/webapps/activiti-webapp-explorer2/
I am using Ubuntu 14.04, and the 1.2.2 debs from
http://syncope.apache.org/downloads.html
Should I have done the build from the webaps directory? Am I
setting the properties in pom.xml correct?
Hi Alan,
I've just completed the full installation procedure on a clean
Debian 7 machine (didn't have an Ubuntu 14.04 ready to use, but
things should be pretty close).
1. followed indications from [1] to install Apache Syncope 1.2.3
(recently release) via deb files
2. followed indications from [2] to build a sample project (which
I also put at [3] for reference) - having
/usr/local/activiti-modeler as Activiti Modeler directory
3. adjusted the activitiModelerDirectory property in
/etc/apache-syncope/console.properties with value
/usr/local/activiti-modeler
4. restarted Apache Tomcat
At this point I was expecting that things were just working, but
there was still a problem (that you also report above): the
configuration files under /etc/apache-syncope were barely ignored.
This is actually a bug which I reported [4]; as temporary
workaround you need to replace the line 37 of
/var/lib/tomcat7/webapps/syncope-console/WEB-INF/classes/consoleContext.xml
with
<property name="location"
value="file:/etc/pache-syncope/console.properties"/>
At this point, after restarting Tomcat, everything was working as
expected, including Activiti Modeler.
HTH
Regards.
