<div class="jive-rendered-content"><p>A had a similar problem.</p><p><strong>My setup is:</strong> JBPM 5.2.0 + JPA + Hibernate + java:jboss/TransactionManager + MSSQL + JBoss AS 7</p><p style="min-height: 8pt; height: 8pt; padding: 0px;"> </p><p>I'm using WI handlers in similar way - some are synchronous and some are asynchronous, but state of process wasn't persisted correctly in save points (at the end of execution of WI handler). I found that my transaction manager didn't work correctly and all process instances stay all the time in memmory and wasn't loaded/inserted into DB. Problem was that my transaction manager wasn't added into Environment.</p><p style="min-height: 8pt; height: 8pt; padding: 0px;"> </p><p>You can easy forget for this very important step in your code. Everything seems working correctly if you are not restarting jBPM and you don't need any recovery utility. I was looking into manual about transactions here: <a class="jive-link-external-small" href="http://docs.jboss.org/jbpm/v5.2/userguide/ch07.html#d0e2914">http://docs.jboss.org/jbpm/v5.2/userguide/ch07.html#d0e2914</a> I also read source code of jbpm-gwt-console (class CommandDelegate) but there is now direct description how to configure and use JBoss transaction manager. Maybe small update of manual should by helpfull.</p><p style="min-height: 8pt; height: 8pt; padding: 0px;"> </p><p><strong>Solution:</strong></p><p>Maybe this help someone with similar issue. Correct codes:</p><p>Configuration of transaction manager for JBoss AS 7 in persistence.xml:</p><p><property name="hibernate.transaction.manager_lookup_class" value="org.jbpm.integration.console.JBPMTransactionManager" /></p><p style="min-height: 8pt; height: 8pt; padding: 0px;"> </p><p>Do not forget for this during initialization of your sessions, environment ... for example:</p><p>// get transaction manager from hibernate configuration (see persistence.xml)</p><p>TransactionManagerLookup transactionManagerLookup = ((SessionFactoryImplementor)((HibernateEntityManagerFactory)emf).getSessionFactory()).getSettings().getTransactionManagerLookup();</p><p>TransactionManager transactionManager = transactionManagerLookup.getTransactionManager(null);</p><p>// this is very important step to add transactionManager into env. Else transaction manager will not be initialized correctly for jbpm.</p><p><strong>env.set(EnvironmentName.TRANSACTION_MANAGER, transactionManager);</strong>  </p><p style="min-height: 8pt; height: 8pt; padding: 0px;"> </p><p>Working for me correctly now.</p></div>
