The pb is not on getting a reference on processinstance. The pb is the final state value is not "complete". It's a pb because depending of continue mode, you do not have the same final result, and it means you'll have to know the worlflow containe to make some test. ex: just add the last assertEquals on provides AsynActivityTest: public void testEndStateCompleted() throws Exception { | ProcessInstance processInstance = executionService | .startProcessInstanceByKey("helloworld"); | String pid = processInstance.getId(); | System.out.println(processInstance.getState()); | Thread.sleep(500); | | Job job = managementService.createJobQuery() | .processInstanceId(pid) | .uniqueResult(); | managementService.executeJob(job.getId()); | | //processInstance = executionService.signalExecutionById(pid, "toHello3"); | Thread.sleep(500); | assertEquals("completed", processInstance.getState()); | assertTrue(processInstance.isEnded()); | } View the original post : http://www.jboss.org/index.html?module=bb&op=viewtopic&p=4254798#...
