Dear Mauricio
Thank you for your reply, I changed the title to be more relevant :) , after some more digging, the error was just a size issue, the problem now Is that the message comes corrupted without errors, so the message.getbody().body() is not able to get the message body so it returns the whole JMS message, the strange thing is that this only happens when the workflow is published, any idea what might be the reason, below is a sample of the message
the send() method is called from within an action handler of a node in a bpmn process
