To view the discussion, visit: http://community.jboss.org/message/536790#536790 -------------------------------------------------------------- Hi All, Please help me, I am newbie at JBPM 4.x. I have a problem with leaving a state programmatically in timer listener. I always get exception like this: 12 Apr 2010 11:21:11 ERROR org.jbpm.pvm.internal.cmd.ExecuteJobCmd  - exception while executing 'timer[30|2010-04-12 11:21:11,412|timeout]' org.jbpm.api.JbpmException: execution[ADSLProvisioning.22] is not active: inactive-scope      at org.jbpm.pvm.internal.model.ExecutionImpl.checkActive(ExecutionImpl.java:1024)      at org.jbpm.pvm.internal.model.ExecutionImpl.take(ExecutionImpl.java:466)      at org.jbpm.pvm.internal.model.ExecutionImpl.takeDefaultTransition(ExecutionImpl.java:449)      at uk.co.upshot.jbpm.handler.OrderStatusChecker.notify(OrderStatusChecker.java:62)      at org.jbpm.pvm.internal.wire.usercode.UserCodeEventListener.notify(UserCodeEventListener.java:39) What I would like to do is checking status from database repeatedly every X minutes. When it found certain status e.g. COMPLETED it should go to the next state, otherwise it will repeat until that status is reached. Currently I implement it as a state with a repeated timer: <state name="Check Order Status">   <on event="timeout">     <timer duedate="10 minutes" repeat="10 minutes"></timer>     <event-listener expr="#{OrderStatusChecker}"></event-listener>   </on>   <transition name="to-status-decision" to="status-decision"></transition> </state> and on the timer listener: public class OrderStatusChecker implements EventListener {       public void notify(EventListenerExecution event) throws Exception {                // Check status.         String status = ...... get status from Database ...         event.getProcessInstance().setVariable("status", status);                 if (status.equals("COMPLETED")) {             // Leave current state             ActivityExecution execution = (ActivityExecution) event.getParent();             execution.takeDefaultTransition();         }                    } } Is it possible to do that in JBPM?  If it's not possible, is there any workaround for my case? I use JBPM4.3 with spring 2.5. Thank you.
