I have had to implement an actionHandler that replaces the action because I want to be able to dynamically update the dueDate (see http://www.jboss.org/index.html?module=bb&op=viewtopic&t=85157 and http://www.jboss.org/index.html?module=bb&op=viewtopic&t=82969 ) So I have done the following in an actionHandler: jbpmContext = executionContext.getJbpmContext(); | jbpmContext.save(executionContext.getProcessInstance()); | CreateTimerAction cta = new CreateTimerAction(); | | //Timer and duedate are required fields | cta.setTimerName(timerName); | cta.setDueDate(strDueDate); | | if (transitionName != null) | cta.setTransitionName(transitionName); | if (repeat != null) | cta.setRepeat(repeat); | if (timerAction != null) | //cta.setTimerAction((Action) Class.forName(timerAction).newInstance()); | cta.setTimerAction(new Action(new Delegation(timerAction))); And done the following in a process: <action class="com.homeq.payoffdemand.jbpm.actions.CreatePDWTimerActionHandler"> | <timerName>UPES_Wait_for_Expiry</timerName> | <dueDate>fidelityMaintWait</dueDate> | <transitionName>UPES_Wait_for_Expiry_Decision</transitionName> | <timerAction>com.homeq.payoffdemand.jbpm.actions.upes.CalcWaitForExpiryActionHandler</timerAction> | </action> Does this seem reasonable? is there a better way? In PaRticular, how do I set the action. The above timerAction is an implementation of actionHandler, and I don't know if this is the correct way to set it into the setTimerAction call - see above.
