Hi,
I am trying to use the jBPM example for persisting the data and trying to use another thread for rule processing using 
ksession.fireUntilHalt();

but I am encountering the following exception.
Exception in thread "Thread-4" org.drools.RuntimeDroolsException: Unexpected exception executing action org.jbpm.process.instance.event.DefaultSignalManager$SignalAction at 1be20c

The same is working fine without persistence and another test is running fine with persistence but there i am calling 
kession.fireAllRules();

 explicitly. I have made my model classes serializable.

The code used is :
public void reactiveProcessAndRulesTest() throws InterruptedException {
        KnowledgeBuilder kbuilder = KnowledgeBuilderFactory
                .newKnowledgeBuilder();
        kbuilder.add(new ClassPathResource("EmergencyServiceSimple.bpmn"),
                ResourceType.BPMN2);
        kbuilder.add(new ClassPathResource("SelectEmergencyVehicleSimple.drl"),
                ResourceType.DRL);
        KnowledgeBuilderErrors errors = kbuilder.getErrors();
        if (errors.size() > 0) {
            for (KnowledgeBuilderError error : errors) {
                System.out.println(error.getMessage());
 
            }
            return;
        }
 
        KnowledgeBase kbase = KnowledgeBaseFactory.newKnowledgeBase();
        kbase.addKnowledgePackages(kbuilder.getKnowledgePackages());
 
        EntityManagerFactory emf = Persistence
                .createEntityManagerFactory("org.jbpm.task");
        Environment env = KnowledgeBaseFactory.newEnvironment();
        env.set(EnvironmentName.ENTITY_MANAGER_FACTORY, emf);
 
        final StatefulKnowledgeSession ksession = JPAKnowledgeService
                .newStatefulKnowledgeSession(kbase, null, env);
//         ksession = kbase.newStatefulKnowledgeSession();
 
        // Setting the process engine and the rule engine in reactive mode
        // This will cause that if a rule is activated, the rule will fire
        // without waiting
        // the user to call the fireAllRules() method.
        
 
        MyHumanChangingValuesSimulatorWorkItemHandler humanActivitiesSimHandler = new MyHumanChangingValuesSimulatorWorkItemHandler();
        ksession.getWorkItemManager().registerWorkItemHandler("Human Task",
                humanActivitiesSimHandler);
 
        KnowledgeRuntimeLoggerFactory.newConsoleLogger(ksession);
 
        Emergency emergency = new Emergency("555-1234");
        // Run with Heart Attack and check the output. An Ambulance must appear
        // in the report
        // emergency.setType("Heart Attack");
        // Run with Fire and check the output. A FireTruck must appear in the
        // report
        emergency.setType("Fire");
        Map<String, Object> parameters = new HashMap<String, Object>();
        parameters.put("emergency", emergency);
 
        WorkflowProcessInstance process = (WorkflowProcessInstance) ksession
                .startProcess(
                        "com.wordpress.salaboy.bpmn2.SimpleEmergencyService",
                        parameters);
        // My Emergency and My Process are both inserted as Facts / Truths in my
        // Knowledge Session
        // Now Emergency and the Process Instance can be used by the inference
        // engine
        ksession.insert(emergency);
        ksession.insert(process);
        
        new Thread(new Runnable() {
 
            public void run() {
                
                ksession.fireUntilHalt();
            }
        }).start();
 
        // Is the Process still Active?
        Assert.assertEquals(ProcessInstance.STATE_ACTIVE, process.getState());
        // Is there a running node instance?
        Assert.assertEquals(1, process.getNodeInstances().size());
        // Is the process stopped in the "Ask for Emergency Information"
        // activity?
        Assert.assertEquals("Ask for Emergency Information", process
                .getNodeInstances().iterator().next().getNodeName());
        // Lets check the value of the emergency.getRevision(), it should be 1
        Assert.assertEquals(1,
                ((Emergency) process.getVariable("emergency")).getRevision());
 
        System.out.println("Completing the first Activity");
        // Complete the first human activity
        humanActivitiesSimHandler.completeWorkItem();
 
        // I need to sleep for a little while, because the other thread can be
        // executing some activated rules
        Thread.sleep(1000);
 
        // Lets check the value of the vehicle variable it should be a Fire
        // Truck => Fire
        Assert.assertTrue(((Vehicle) process.getVariable("vehicle")) instanceof FireTruck);
 
        // Is the Process still Active?
        Assert.assertEquals(ProcessInstance.STATE_ACTIVE, process.getState());
        // Is there a running node instance?
        Assert.assertEquals(1, process.getNodeInstances().size());
        // Is the process stopped in the "Dispatch Vehicle" activity?
        Assert.assertEquals("Dispatch Vehicle", process.getNodeInstances()
                .iterator().next().getNodeName());
        // Lets check the value of the emergency.getRevision(), it should be 2
        Assert.assertEquals(2,
                ((Emergency) process.getVariable("emergency")).getRevision());
 
        System.out.println("Completing the second Activity");
        // Complete the second human activity
        humanActivitiesSimHandler.completeWorkItem();
 
        // Is the process completed?
        Assert.assertEquals(ProcessInstance.STATE_COMPLETED, process.getState());
    }
 
 


My Full code is in this thread :  http://community.jboss.org/message/625081#625081 http://community.jboss.org/message/625081

Any help would be appreciated. 

I also see very wierd behaviour happening when running the program in Debug mode in eclipse and run mode.
