To view the discussion, visit: http://community.jboss.org/message/555558#555558 -------------------------------------------------------------- When your execution reaches the wait state the transaction is committed, there is no need to rollback just because of a shutdown, after bootup jBPM4 picks up your wait state and still waits for a signal, maybe I miss the point here but I don't see a reason to rollback because of a graceful shutdown? In case of a crash the normal transaction handling in your database or on the jdbc or hibernate level rolls back the changes, just like in any other database application. the retry-interceptor is what you configure in your command service, see the dev guide (6.7 Services): http://docs.jboss.com/jbpm/v4/devguide/html_single/ http://docs.jboss.com/jbpm/v4/devguide/html_single/ it's ment for catching hibernate StaleObjectExceptions but I still get those Exceptions so it seems like it doesn't work in all cases... -------------------------------------------------------------- Reply to this message by going to Community [http://community.jboss.org/message/555558#555558] Start a new discussion in jBPM at Community [http://community.jboss.org/choose-container!input.jspa?contentType=1&...]
