Ed SAURUSAITIS [https://community.jboss.org/people/fishing69] created the discussion "JBPM 5.4 - Transaction Problems with completeWorkitem() when an EJB Exception occurs" To view the discussion, visit: https://community.jboss.org/message/831165#831165 -------------------------------------------------------------- I have a scenario where WorkItem Handlers call EJBs to perform some business logic. If the EJB has an exception, I capture the exception in the Workitem Handler with a try/catch and change some value in the process variables. Most of this works except when the call the completeWorkitem is perfomed. The completeWorkitem doesn't commit the changes to the JBPM database and therefore when the process moves forward, the process variables seem to be null. I am using JTA for transaction processing. Any ideas? *Below is the sample Workitem Handler code:* public void executeWorkItem(WorkItem workItem, WorkItemManager manager) {      getLogger().debug("EFIHandler - Started");      DQREJBLocal dqrEJBLocal = null;      Context c;       String ejbName = (String) workItem.getParameter("ejbName");      getLogger().debug("EFIHandler ejbName = " + ejbName);      StartProcessInfo processData = (StartProcessInfo) workItem.getParameter("processData");      efiData = (EFITransactionInfo) workItem.getParameter("efiTransactionData");      getLogger().debug("EFIHandler Data:clearanceCaseKey = [" + processData.getClearanceCaseKey() + "] Process Instance ID = [" + Long.toString(processData.getProcessInstanceId())           + "] Process Id = [" + Long.toString(processData.getProcessInstanceId()) + "]");      try {    c = new InitialContext();    //use the context to lookup the local interface.    dqrEJBLocal =  (DQREJBLocal) c.lookup(ejbName);    //now you can call any method exposed in the local interface.    dqrEJBLocal.execute(efiData.getTransactionKey(),processData);   } catch (NamingException e) {    processData.setErrorMessage("EFIHandler Naming Exception = " + efiData.getTransactionType());    getLogger().error("EFIHandler Naming Exception = " + efiData.getTransactionKey());    processData.setErrorInd("Y");    e.printStackTrace();      } catch (Exception e) {    processData.setErrorMessage("EFIHandler Exception for " + ejbName + " Transaction " + efiData.getTransactionType());    getLogger().error("EFIHandler Exception for " + ejbName + " Transaction " + efiData.getTransactionType());    processData.setErrorInd("Y");    e.printStackTrace();      } finally {      getLogger().debug("EFIHandler After Exception");   //Set any return data from the EJB   Map<String,Object> results = new HashMap<String, Object> ();   results.put("processData", processData);   results.put("efiTransactionData", efiData);   getLogger().debug("EFIHandler before Complete");   manager.completeWorkItem(workItem.getId(), results);         getLogger().debug("EFIHandler - Completed");       }     } ** *Here is the exception:* [8/2/13 8:42:44:888 EDT] 0000002d SystemOut     O 2013-08-02 08:42:44,888   DEBUG [MessageListenerThreadPool : 0] - EFIHandler - Started [8/2/13 8:42:44:888 EDT] 0000002d SystemOut     O 2013-08-02 08:42:44,888   DEBUG [MessageListenerThreadPool : 0] - EFIHandler ejbName = ejblocal:gov.ssa.dqr.ejbInterfaces.SendEFITransactionLocal [8/2/13 8:42:44:888 EDT] 0000002d SystemOut     O 2013-08-02 08:42:44,888   DEBUG [MessageListenerThreadPool : 0] - EFIHandler Data:clearanceCaseKey = [caseclaim.ClearanceCaseDetailKey~ID=310] Process Instance ID = [298] Process Id = [298] [8/2/13 8:42:44:898 EDT] 0000002d SystemOut     O 2013-08-02 08:42:44,898   DEBUG [MessageListenerThreadPool : 0] - SendEFITransaction.execute Started.
