Hello. I'm guessing that somewhere in your code, you should be having these lines: JbpmConfiguration jbpmConfiguration = JbpmConfiguration.getInstance(); JbpmContext jbpmContext = jbpmConfiguration.createJbpmContext(); // Your code below these lines... I think what you could try doing is put the above two lines inside a try block, catch any exceptions and then finally close the context i.e. try{ JbpmConfiguration jbpmConfiguration = JbpmConfiguration.getInstance(); JbpmContext jbpmContext = jbpmConfiguration.createJbpmContext(); //your code... } catch(Exception e){ throw e; } finally{ jbpmContext.close(); } I think it is good practice to close the context each time you create a new one in a method to ensure what you are doing persists. Sometimes the method that you are writing needs to do call other methods which require the use of a JbpmContext. Instead of creating a new JbpmContext in those other methods, you could pass the first JbpmContext created to them. I have also just started using Jbpm, but so far this seems to work for me. If I have said anything wrong, maybe the seniors in this forum could add to it or correct it. Hopefully, your problem will be solved soon. Take care.
