[jboss-user] [JBoss jBPM] - No subprocessId in Node with subprocess

[appendix]

Hi,

I'm facing a problem with a process definition which contains a task-node with a sub-process. 
When deploying both processes into a clean database the definitions and nodes are persisted currectly, but when the node with the sub-process is instantiated during the workflow, an exception is thrown stating that a process with a NULL definition cannot be instantiated.

I had a look at the database and realized that the table jbpm_node has no entry in the column subprocessdefinition_ in the row with the sub-process task despite both processes are correctly deployed to jbpm_processdefinition.
 
I looked at the sources and  saw that the process definitions are persisted in org.jbpm.db.GraphSession.deployProcessDefinition(). Here both process definitions are saved to the session and the the session. When the session is closed later on, the underlying hibernate cannot refer to the sub-process-id when populating the table jbpm_node.

If I execute a manual session.flush() after the sub-process definition is saved to the session, then the table jbpm_node is populated correctly with a valid subprocessid_ after all.

I'm using jbpm-3.1.1 with a postgres 8.1.4 and wonder if this is a known issue. I had a look at the 3.1.2 sources and saw that code for process definition deployment didn't change, so I assume a version upgrade wouldn't solve my problem.

Any suggestions on using task-nodes with sub-processes? How can i make sure that all sub-processes are refered in their corresponding task nodes correctly? I don't get any warnings or errors at deployment time and the exception is thrown at runtime.
I haven't included the process definitions in this post, because I'm positive that they are valid and they would only blow up this post.

Thanks for any help in advance,

  Kurt
