Hi,
The way I solved it and according to my problem was:
1 - Create a Work Item handler and the work item with abort methods:
public class PrintWorkItemHandler extends MyWorkItemHandler {
public Printer2 p;
protected Date startTime;
protected Date endTime;
class printThread extends Thread {
protected long wiID;
public printThread(long wiID) {
this.wiID = wiID;
}
public void run() {
startTime = new Date();
p = new Printer2();
p.printAlot("adasd");
// notify manager that work item has been completed
mng.completeWorkItem(wiID, null);
endTime = new Date();
System.out.println("PRINT ENDED and took " +
JBPMUtil.dateDiff(startTime, endTime));
}
}
public void executeWorkItem(WorkItem workItem, WorkItemManager manager) {
super.addWorkItem(workItem);
super.setWorkItemManager(manager);
new printThread(workItem.getId()).start();
}
public void abortWorkItem(WorkItem workItem, WorkItemManager manager) {
System.out.println("ABORTED");
p.stop = true;
manager.abortWorkItem(workItem.getId());
}
}
2 - When i want a workItem to finish i do:
mng.completeWorkItem(wiID, null); to complete ir
or
manager.abortWorkItem(workItem.getId()); to abort it
