The process engine needs to be closed by the module that created it. In JBoss AS this is already covered since jBPM is deployed as a service. The JbpmService bean correctly closes the engine on stop.
In Tomcat the situation is more complicated. Because it lacks the notion of services, the jbpm-console app creates the process engine itself. The engine cannot be managed by a separate module and shared via JNDI because Tomcat provides a read-only initial context.
In fact, the situation is aggravated due to Configuration.getProcessEngine() returning a shared instance. I take this method to be a formal equivalent of the http://docs.jboss.org/hibernate/stable/core/reference/en/html/tutorial.ht... HibernateUtil class in standalone environments. Unfortunately, it is tempting to call this method from within containers, where it is totally insane. The engine becomes reachable from the entire VM and there is no clear point at which it can be closed.
> If it comes to probable solution, we could register listeners (ServletContectListeners) for console to close down process engine on application destroy.
This would be an option if the shared ProcessEngine could be closed on servlet context destruction, which is not possible as said before. If the servlet context listener built its own unshared engine on initialization, it could close it on destruction. Unfortunately such an engine is unreachable for the console integration components. In a typical web app it would be set as an attribute of the servlet context, but the servlet context itself is unreachable as well.
One promising alternative I want to investigate is the Tomcat http://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-6.0-doc/jndi-resources-howto.html#Adding%... custom resource factory. There is http://community.jboss.org/wiki/UsingJNDI-boundSessionFactorywithTomcat41 prior art in this direction involving the Hibernate session factory.

Hi,
I deployed jboss seam web app that collects data from users and generates PDF reports. It is a relatively simple web app and it went fairly for 1st quarter. However we are having some issues for 2nd quarter.
Some users are experiencing log in problem(users see "something bad happened." jboss error messages) and some pages throws jboss error messages as well.
When I checked log file, all I see is some buch of this error message:
68.93.192.64 - - [28/Jun/2010:10:03:40 -0400] "GET /error.seam?cid=195 HTTP/1.1" 302 -
However, when I tested production site I didn't get any problem for log in. However, I saw jboss error messages on some pages occassionally, but if I logout/login then try again, it worked fine. So, I thought it was some sort of glithces, but it looks like some users are having more severe problems.
IE causes the problem the most and google Chrome gives the least issues.
I think it is more like configuration issues.
Here is the web.xml
