Task activity failure to save history data of the task

created by Aurelijus Janeliunas in jBPM - View the full discussion

Hi,

We have problems with task execution in our SEAM-SPRING-JBPM+JBOSS hybrid enviroment. It fails to save history task due transaction failures. The exception looks like:

2011-02-15 15:13:05,792 WARN [org.hibernate.util.JDBCExceptionReporter] (WorkManager(2)-5) SQL Error: 0, SQLState: null

2011-02-15 15:13:05,792 ERROR [org.hibernate.util.JDBCExceptionReporter] (WorkManager(2)-5) Transaction is not active: tx=TransactionImple < ac, BasicAction: 7f000001:beaa:4d5a79d2:163e status: ActionStatus.ABORT_ONLY >; - nested throwable: (javax.resource.ResourceException: Transaction is not active: tx=TransactionImple < ac, BasicAction: 7f000001:beaa:4d5a79d2:163e status: ActionStatus.ABORT_ONLY >)

I have exact place where it fails in JBPM core:

TaskActivity.execute(ExecutionImpl execution) --> HistoryEvent.fire(new TaskActivityStart(task), execution) --> TaskActivityStart.process() --> dbSession.save(historyActivityInstance)

We use most common approach to reach JBPM functionality in Seam. We inject processEngine spring bean in seam enviroment:

Spring configuration:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

<beans xmlns="http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans"

xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"

<bean id="springHelper" class="org.jbpm.pvm.internal.processengine.SpringHelper"/>

<bean id="processEngine" factory-bean="springHelper" factory-method="createProcessEngine"/>

</beans>

In Seam side we start process instance:

private Object _start(String key, String id, Map<String, Object> data){

if ( StringUtils.isEmpty(key) || StringUtils.isEmpty(id) ){

return Boolean.FALSE;

}

//return execution service

ExecutionService execService = _getExecutionService();

if ( execService == null ){

return Boolean.FALSE;

}

try {

//prepare data for jBPM start the process

Map<String,Object> _variables = new HashMap<String, Object>(0);

_variables.put("current", data);

//start the new process

execService.startProcessInstanceByKey(key, _variables, id);

return Boolean.TRUE;

} catch (Exception e) {

logger.error("[OperationManagerImpl:_start] errors:", e);

}

return Boolean.FALSE;

}

Notice. All data placed in parameter "data" are implementing Serializable interface. So, we don't have any problems with variable serialisaztion inside JBPM core.

Whole application use spring style transaction manager (SEAM and JBPM).
