[jboss-user] [jBPM] - Re: Using a Timer

Gary tse [http://community.jboss.org/people/garytse] created the discussion "Re: Using a Timer" To view the discussion, visit: http://community.jboss.org/message/624404#624404 -------------------------------------------------------------- I would like to use a timer in my graph where after a given period of time the next node will be a service task call to do some work and complete the business process instance. <<< * That can easily be done.  The tricky part is that the current designer UI does not allow you to attach a timer event to an "Embedded Sub-Process" so you have to manually edit the XML for that. Is it true in order for the timer to work I need to reload the business process instance in memory and then call fireAllRules() on the statefulknowledgesession?  <<< * No need.  The StatefulKnowledgeSession itself has a "timer thread" that kicks in when your schedule is due. I would highly recommend you to take a look at the examples.  jbpm-examples/src/main/resources/junit/BPMN2-TimerBoundaryEventCycle1.bpm2  is exactly the kind of thing you want.
