Re: Transition rule EL Expression fails [Solved]

created by milnauf in jBPM - View the full discussion

Hello,

I running into problems when I try evaluating an expression during runtime (yeah - using internal APIs  :s ). What I'm doing is essentially try to find possible execution path using transition's condition.
The problem is that the method org.jbpm.pvm.internal.model.ExpressionCondition.evaluate(OpenExecution execution) - invokes evaluate() on created expression - rather than evaluate(execution). The problem is that the execution variables are not found - because in the subsequent call to JbpmElFactoryImpl.createCompositeResolver - if the scopeInstance is null - which it is in this case - the JbpmVariableElResolver is not added.

So a cosmetic change of the org.jbpm.pvm.internal.model.ExpressionCondition evaluate to invoke evaluate with execution parameter rather than without it - should fix the problem. Unless of course there's a good reason for not passing current execution.

 

At the bottom I attach a stacktrace for the error that I'm getting -> resulting directly from not using the OpenExecution to evaluate the expression.

 

The resulting code would be similar to the below:

 

public class org.jbpm.pvm.internal.model.ExpressionCondition {

public boolean evaluate(OpenExecution execution) {

    Object result = Expression.create(expression, language).evaluate(execution);

    if (result instanceof Boolean) {

      return ((Boolean) result).booleanValue();

    }

    throw new JbpmException("expression condition '" + expression + "' did not return a boolean: "+result);

  }

 

  ...

}

 

Stack trace:
