I work with activiti-5.15.1
I deploy activiti-explorer and activiti-rest under my server tomcat-6.0.18\webapps
I related this war with postgres as a database
I change in db.properties in activiti-explorer and activiti-rest
db=postgres
jdbc.driver=org.postgresql.Driver
jdbc.url=jdbc:postgresql://localhost:5432/activiti
jdbc.username=postgres
jdbc.password=postgres
and I put postgresql-jdbc3-8.1-405.jar under lib folder
when I start the server 23 table are created,
but using http://com.supcom:8080/activiti-explorer/
when I try to create a new model I have this error :
ERROR org.activiti.rest.editor.model.ModelEditorJsonRestResource - Error creating model JSON
org.codehaus.jackson.JsonParseException: Unexpected character ('j' (code 106)): expected a valid value (number, String, array, object, 'true', 'false' or 'null')

the same error is displayed when I try to import other model which is created under eclipse using activiti plugin
This error is due to the multiple versions of PostgreSQL jar.
According to postgresql website https://jdbc.postgresql.org/download.html
If you are using JDK 1.6 then the JDBC4 is suitable.(JDBC4 Postgresql Driver, Version 9.4-1208).
The jar must be used in activiti-explorer lib folder , your application and tomcat lib folder.
