Error description
When you use IBM Process Designer and edit an implementation, you cannot add an input variable, only an output variable. You can click the Input button, but you cannot enter any details. In the ae.log file, you see the following ClassCastException: org.eclipse.core.commands.ExecutionException: While executing the operation, an exception occurred at org.eclipse.core.commands.operations.DefaultOperationHistory.exe cute(DefaultOperationHistory.java:519) at com.lombardisoftware.client.ae.widgets.TWAbstractEditor.performO peration (TWAbstractEditor.java:351) at com.lombardisoftware.client.ae.widgets.TWAbstractEditor.performO peration (TWAbstractEditor.java:374) at com.lombardisoftware.client.ae.forms.externalactivity.ExternalAc tivityEditor.addRemoveParameter(ExternalActivityEditor.java:214) at com.lombardisoftware.client.ae.forms.externalactivity.ExternalAc tivityEditor$11.widgetSelected(ExternalActivityEditor.java:366) at org.eclipse.swt.widgets.TypedListener.handleEvent(TypedListener. java:234) at org.eclipse.swt.widgets.EventTable.sendEvent(EventTable.java:84) at org.eclipse.swt.widgets.Widget.sendEvent(Widget.java:1053) at org.eclipse.swt.widgets.Display.runDeferredEvents(Display.java:4 066) at org.eclipse.swt.widgets.Display.readAndDispatch(Display.java:365 7) at org.eclipse.ui.internal.Workbench.runEventLoop(Workbench.java:26 29) at org.eclipse.ui.internal.Workbench.runUI(Workbench.java:2593) at org.eclipse.ui.internal.Workbench.access$4(Workbench.java:2427) at org.eclipse.ui.internal.Workbench$7.run(Workbench.java:670) at org.eclipse.core.databinding.observable.Realm.runWithDefault(Rea lm.java:332) at org.eclipse.ui.internal.Workbench.createAndRunWorkbench(Workbenc h.java:663) at org.eclipse.ui.PlatformUI.createAndRunWorkbench(PlatformUI.java: 149) at teamworks.ae.product.TWApplication.start(TWApplication.java:64) at org.eclipse.equinox.internal.app.EclipseAppHandle.run(EclipseApp Handle.java:196) at org.eclipse.core.runtime.internal.adaptor.EclipseAppLauncher.run Application(EclipseAppLauncher.java:110) at org.eclipse.core.runtime.internal.adaptor.EclipseAppLauncher.sta rt(EclipseAppLauncher.java:79) at org.eclipse.core.runtime.adaptor.EclipseStarter.run(EclipseStart er.java:369) at org.eclipse.core.runtime.adaptor.EclipseStarter.run(EclipseStart er.java:179) at sun.reflect.NativeMethodAccessorImpl.invoke0(Native Method) at sun.reflect.NativeMethodAccessorImpl.invoke(NativeMethodAccessor Impl.java:60) at sun.reflect.DelegatingMethodAccessorImpl.invoke(DelegatingMethod AccessorImpl.java:37) at java.lang.reflect.Method.invoke(Method.java:611) at org.eclipse.equinox.launcher.Main.invokeFramework(Main.java:619) at org.eclipse.equinox.launcher.Main.basicRun(Main.java:574) at org.eclipse.equinox.launcher.Main.run(Main.java:1407) at org.eclipse.equinox.launcher.Main.main(Main.java:1383) Caused by: java.lang.ClassCastException: com.lombardisoftware.client.persistence.ExternalActivityParamete r incompatible with com.lombardisoftware.client.delegate.common.Sequence at com.lombardisoftware.core.SequenceComparator.getNextSequenceNumb er(SequenceComparator.java:44) at com.lombardisoftware.client.ae.forms.externalactivity.AddRemoveP arameterOperation.getObjectForAdd(AddRemoveParameterOperation.ja va:98) at com.lombardisoftware.client.ae.forms.externalactivity.AddRemoveP arameterOperation.getObjectForAdd(AddRemoveParameterOperation.ja va:19) at com.lombardisoftware.client.ae.forms.externalactivity.AddRemoveO peration.execute(AddRemoveOperation.java:53) at org.eclipse.core.commands.operations.DefaultOperationHistory.exe cute(DefaultOperationHistory.java:511) PRODUCTS AFFECTED IBM Business Process Manager (BPM) Advanced IBM BPM Standard IBM BPM Express
