I've tried many variants of deleting the timer using the API's. I've also tried creating a hibernate query directly and deleting the timer. What I am finding is that I successfully delete the timer, but some other component in jBPM is saving a new copy of the timer on flush of the session. How do I delete a timer on a task and not have the timer reappear on the task? Basically, my use case is as follows: Process enters a task-node where the timer is defined - during execution of the timer action, I check to see if certain conditions are true -if these conditions become true, then I want to cancel and delete the timer; the task is still open, it just no longer needs to be timed View the original post : http://www.jboss.com/index.html?module=bb&op=viewtopic&p=4025068#...
