The timer has a timeCylce of 500ms. The scripts simply set a variable (message1 and message2) that i look to see of the scripts has been executed. My test see that -after the prcess start- the first task is executed, waits for 1000ms and then check the that the second task has been executed (inspecting the message2 variable). Also the test check that the process is completed. The Task2 script task containt that code: <bpmn2:script> System.out.println("Executing Script Task 1"); kcontext.setVariable("message","Executed Script Task 1"); </bpmn2:script> That works perfectly...at least until I add: JPAWorkingMemoryDbLogger logger = new JPAWorkingMemoryDbLogger(session); When I do that, it seems that: - The timer does not trigger the "Script Task 2" task. - The error below appears in the console: Hibernate: insert into NodeInstanceLog (id, log_date, nodeId, nodeInstanceId, nodeName, processId, processInstanceId, type) values (null, ?, ?, ?, ?, ?, ?, ?)
