you have no real end state, only a basic process and 2 superstates. Could be that there is a 'bug' in jBPM that tries to find an end-state and see's it in the superstate. That is executed once because it is a superstate node and maybe once more because it is seen as *the* end state. See what happens if you have a real end-state or remove the superstate around the end-state btw, why this construction with the superstate around the end-state View the original post : http://www.jboss.com/index.html?module=bb&op=viewtopic&p=4154173#...
