Hi, Which file(s) contained the fix? I'm having an issue that sounds very similar to this. In our system we have a parent process that has a fork that has transitions to 4 <process-state name="xxxxx" async="true"> nodes that then transition to a join. Periodically we get a StaleObjectException when the sub process completes, signals the parent process so it does the join processing. The transaction is rolled back which includes all the work done in the sub process. The description of the problem and the solution sound like a very good match to the problem I'm seeing. I'd like to apply the fix to our current code base while we wait for 3.2.3 to be released and see if it solves this problem too. If not, it might help me identify the solution to my particular scenario if the root cause isn't the same.
