[jboss-dev-forums] [jBPM Development] - Timer dueDate / dueDateTime

Hi. I have a problem with jbpm Timers. First i don't understand why you can't have a timer for Transition that are going to or from a java task. Second problem that I have is with dueDate /dueDateTime... i found no way to specify the dueDate als java.util.Date. I find this weird because the dueDate attribute in TimerImpl is of type Date! I think this Problem can be fixed with the following code in TimerImpl: | public void setDueDateDescription(String dueDateDescription) { | | ScriptManager scriptManager = EnvironmentDefaults.getScriptManager(); | Object dueDateEvaluated = scriptManager.evaluateExpression(dueDateDescription, null); | if(dueDateEvaluated instanceof Date) | { | dueDate =dueDateEvaluated; | return; | } | dueDateDescription = (String) dueDateEvaluated; | | Duration duration = new Duration(dueDateDescription); | Date now = Clock.getCurrentTime(); | | ........................................... | } | a better solution would be to add a dueDateTimeDefinition in TimerDefinitionImpl and in JobParser.parseTimerDefinition() just set the definition there. after that in ScopeInstanceImpl.createTimer() evaluate dueDateTimeDefinition and if the evaluation returns a Date just set it in dueDate otherwise pare dueDateTimeDefinition as a date String..like you do now in JobParser.parseTimerDefinition().
