JTA issue when starting a process from another thread

created by Gareth Edwards in jBPM - View the full discussion

Hello,

 

I have a queue of objects which contain all the information required to start a new process session.

Using Spring's @Scheduled annotation I'm periodically calling a method to poll the queue and start new workflows running.

The problem is because of the scheduling the method is called using another thread and the following error below occurs:

I'm using jbpm 5.4 and JBoss 7.1

 

I have read that using java:jboss/TransactionManager instead can resolve this issue but java:comp/UserTransaction is hard coded in the drools-persistence-jpa jar.

Do I need to download the source and build another version of the jar?

There must be a simple work around for this.

 

Thanks in advance.

 

Gareth.
