To view the discussion, visit: http://community.jboss.org/message/554539#554539 -------------------------------------------------------------- Hi : There is a timer session configured in my "jbpm.default.cfg.xml" as shown below:     ....     <timer-session />     .... The core of the process definition is very simple as shown below for the timer to fire and leave the state node:     <state g="222,123,147,40" name="generate-file">       <transition g="-71,-15" name="timeout" to="remove-file">         <timer duedate="5 seconds"/>       </transition>              </state> The next node is an action to dump message to prove the process leaving and entering a new node. When I run it, it never leaves the state node, but the jbpm database shows a pair of parent-child entries created:     ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------     DBID       Activity         ID                                                State     ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------     1210001  generate-file  test_Timer_1.1210001                    inactive-scope     1210001  generate-file  test_Timer_1.1210001.generate-file  active-root     ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Is it because something missing in the "jbpm.default.cfg.xml", so it won't fire and leave ? or something else ? Thanks for your help in advance. -------------------------------------------------------------- Reply to this message by going to Community [http://community.jboss.org/message/554539#554539] Start a new discussion in jBPM at Community [http://community.jboss.org/choose-container!input.jspa?contentType=1&...]
