Nice test now, I'll try to see what happens on my side later today. But I think it is related to the fact that you made the nodes not only be carried out in async, but also made it waitstates AFTER the 'execute' method is ended. (by using the waitForSignal). In your testcase you have to signal both states then. But if you replace the waitForSignal() with a take() (as mentioned earlier) then the custom node automatically continues and should pass the join. Without the customFour, your process is most likely still not ended (you can check that by building it in your test) View the original post : http://www.jboss.org/index.html?module=bb&op=viewtopic&p=4255086#...
