Incorrect task due date parsing. -------------------------------- Key: JBPM-447 URL: http://jira.jboss.com/jira/browse/JBPM-447 Project: JBoss jBPM Issue Type: Bug Components: Core Engine Reporter: Konstantin Kolev Assigned To: Tom Baeyens According to xsd schema it should be possible to parse task duration defined like: "3 business hours and 15 minutes". It is not possible however. The problem is that the duration string is trimed with "3 business " and a map is looked up for key "hours and 15 minutes", the map contains keys like hour, hours , minute, minutes, week, weeks, month, months and so on (see the class Duration). Finally a null pointer exception is thrown in the constructor of the class Duration: Duration(String duration) on its last line.
