[jboss-user] [jBPM] - How to get external event to cancel human task and progress process

stevearoonie [https://community.jboss.org/people/stevearoonie] created the discussion "How to get external event to cancel human task and progress process" To view the discussion, visit: https://community.jboss.org/message/756037#756037 -------------------------------------------------------------- Hi all, I my application I have the possibility that whilst a process is sitting at a Human Task node that an external event could make that task no longer necessary, in which case I want my workflow to progress. I have attempted to do this using the following pattern: https://community.jboss.org/servlet/JiveServlet/showImage/2-756037-19301/... https://community.jboss.org/servlet/JiveServlet/downloadImage/2-756037-19... The gateway is an XOR. When I test this by completing Task 1, the process correctly moves to Task 2. If instead I trigger the event (via ksession.signalEvent("TaskPerformed", null, processInstance.getId());) I get the sub-process End node being triggered but Task 1 is still active and Task 2 is not entered. To test this I am just using a customized version of ProcessTest that is created in a new jBPM Project. If instead I try processInstance.signalEvent("TaskPerformed", null); I get an NPE in ProcessInstanceImpl (kruntime is null). Can anybody tell me what I am doing wrong, or possibly another way I can produce the behaviour I desire? thanks in advance Steve -------------------------------------------------------------- Reply to this message by going to Community [https://community.jboss.org/message/756037#756037] Start a new discussion in jBPM at Community [https://community.jboss.org/choose-container!input.jspa?contentType=1&...]
