'access denied' when launching a flow

[Cinderella]

I'm new to OpenWFE.

I created a new workflow called 'docflow'. When I'm trying to launch this workflow, there are something wrong with it. The error message is:

Error : openwfe.org.worklist.WorkListException: failure 1 in openwfe.org.wlactions.LaunchAction
java.security.AccessControlException: access denied [LaunchPermission name="mainEngine::http://localhost:7079/docflow__1.0.xml" /]

Could you tell me how to solve the problem?

Hi,

did you grant the right to launch that new flow to your user ?

Best regards,

I have put the following codes into "C:\openwfe\etc\worklist\passwd.xml"

    <principal
    name="admin"
    class="openwfe.org.auth.BasicPrincipal"
    password="+92+87-105-89+53-11-63+51-30-103-101+110+51+55+119+114"
    >
    <grant name="store.userA"/>
    <grant name="store.userB"/>
    <grant name="store.userC"/>
    <grant name="launch.docflow"/>
    </principal>

    </grant>
    <grant name="launch.docflow"
    codebase="file:./jars/restricted/*"
    >
    <permission
        name="mainEngine::http://localhost:7079/docflow__1.0.xml"
        class="openwfe.org.worklist.auth.LaunchPermission"
    />
    </grant>

What else should I do?

Thanks

Hi Cinderella,

did you restart the system after the adding the grant ?

Are you trying to launch with the user 'admin' or another user ?

By the way, the development effort of OpenWFE has switched from Java to Ruby.

http://openwferu.rubyforge.org
http://difference.openwfe.org:3000/

It's way better than OpenWFE java.

Best regards,

Why the change to Ruby? I was loving OpenWFE till I found out it had decided to focus on a Ruby version.

Because I'm alone, I can't ride two horses.
The Ruby horse is way easier to manage and I am more productive in Ruby than in Java.
OpenWFEru runs quite decently now on the latest (trunk) versions of JRuby.

Best regards,

John
