OK, getting a bit tired of re-deploying my process every time, I decided to peek into the database. Guess what ;-) select length(condition_) | from jbpm_transition | where condition_ is not null only yields a single non-zero value. All other expressions I've set in processdefinition.xml did not make it into the database...?! So: there's many process definitions in my database, most of them with some decision node, for which the conditions have been set to some zero-length string -- except for one... Some more tests seem to indicate that, for 3.2.Beta2 Suite, <condition>#{true}</condition> gets me "#{true}" in the database after deployment using GPD, while <condition expression="#{true}"/> gives me a zero-length (non-NULL) string. OK, that's a start! However, even when the simple "#{true}" is in the database, I still keep getting the same old decision didn't select transition, taking default Transition There's more, but this might be as expected, as I set the decisions on transitions: select * from jbpm_decisionconditions yields zero rows. select * from jbpm_node where class_ = 'D' shows NULLs for column decisionexpression_ . Maybe I should deploy without GPD, just to see what that gets me in the database. View the original post : http://www.jboss.com/index.html?module=bb&op=viewtopic&p=4018608#...
