Hi HuiSheng:
The following is my jbpm.cfg.xml for jbpm 4.3:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<jbpm-configuration>
<import resource="jbpm.default.cfg.xml" />
<import resource="jbpm.jpdl.cfg.xml" />
<import resource="jbpm.identity.cfg.xml" />
<import resource="jbpm.tx.hibernate.cfg.xml" />
<import resource="jbpm.variable.types.xml" />
<import resource="jbpm.jobexecutor.cfg.xml" />
<import resource="jbpm.businesscalendar.cfg.xml" />
<import resource="jbpm.jpdl.cfg.xml" />
<import resource="jbpm.mail.templates.examples.xml" />
</jbpm-configuration>
The following is the sequence of our test activities :
(1) deploy the .jpdl.xml which contains the state node associated with a timer :
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<process name="test_Timer_1">
<start g="270,34,54,49" name="start1">
<transition to="generate-file"/>
</start>
<state g="222,123,147,40" name="generate-file">
<transition g="-71,-15" name="timeout" to="remove-file">
<timer duedate="10 seconds"/>
</transition>
</state>
<state g="222,214,147,40" name="remove-file">
<transition to="end1"/>
</state>
<end g="272,302,48,48" name="end1"></end>
</process>
(2) run the start process instance:
(3) so we assume that the token entered the "generate-file" node and waited more that 10 seconds, but we still only saw 2 entries in the jpbm4_execution table.
(4) then we deploy one more time, and now we saw the "remove-file" activity entry created in the jpbm4_execution table.
There must be something wrong, but we can not figure out from the jbpm cfg related xml files.
Thanks for your help again.
