Hello,

I've searched around for this but didn't find an answer, is it possible to use the Error Event node to trigger a handler?

From the documentation is says this:

An Error Event can be used to signal an exceptional condition in the process.  It should have one incoming connection and no outgoing connections.  When an Error Event is reached in the process, it will throw an error with the given name. The process will search for an appropriate error handler that is capable of handling this kind of fault.  If no error handler is found, the process instance will be aborted.  An Error Event contains the following properties:

• Id: The id of the node (which is unique within one node container).
• Name: The display name of the node.
• FaultName: The name of the fault.  This name is used to search for appropriate exception handlers that are capable of handling this kind of fault.
• FaultVariable: The name of the variable that contains the data associated with this fault.  This data is also passed on to the exception handler (if one is found).

Error handlers can be specified using boundary events.  This is however currently only possible when working with XML directly.  We will be adding support for graphically specifying this in the new BPMN2 editor.

So i would like to know how the handler is implemented and inserted into the process.  On the process properties page there is a Property for Exception Handlers but when i define one here it isn't getting called.

Does anyone know what i'm doing wrong?

Thanks
