superstate-enter not fired when taking a transition directly to the super state ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Key: JBPM-980 URL: http://jira.jboss.com/jira/browse/JBPM-980 Project: JBoss jBPM Issue Type: Bug Components: Core Engine Affects Versions: jBPM jPDL 3.2 Environment: JBpm 3.2GA Reporter: Olivier Cuzacq Assigned To: Tom Baeyens Priority: Minor Let's consider a simple example using a super-state : <start-state name="start"> <transition to="buildPhase"/> </start-state> <super-state name="buildPhase"> <event type="superstate-enter"> <action class="com..." /> </event> ... <state name="waitForValidation"> <transition to="../deliveryPhase"/> </state> <event type="superstate-leave"> <action class="com..." /> </event> The superstate leave event is fired, but enter is not. Looking at the code this seems 'normal' : - Transition.take: if ( destination.getSuperState()!=null ) { ... fire the event ... - SuperState.execute : Node startNode = (Node) nodes.get(0); startNode.enter(executionContext); Going from a node to a super-state taking an explicit transition wont cause the event to be fired as dest.getSuperState == null. Then the super state will be executed and the first node will be entered without any kind of 'transient' transition being taken. If we look at the doc : (http://docs.jboss.com/jbpm/v3/userguide/processmodelling.html#superstatee... ) 9.6.2. Superstate events ... These events will be fired no matter over which transitions the node is entered or left respectively -> I cant find anything more precise about the expected behaviour AFAIAC I would expect the super-enter event being fired whatever the enter context (thru an innder node, or referencing the super-state itself).
