User development, A new message was posted in the thread "TaskService issue": http://community.jboss.org/message/520165#520165 Author : Santanu Saraswati Profile : http://community.jboss.org/people/saraswati.santanu Message: -------------------------------------------------------------- Its not the responsibility of JBPM to manage connections. It must be hibernate which is opening the connection.   You need to explicitly close a connection if you are not using transaction manager, otherwise transaction manager pretty much does it for you.   If you are using a transaction manager then you might need to check why this particular task service call is executed outside a transaction.   If you are developing a JEE app and not using a transaction manager, then... best of luck -------------------------------------------------------------- To reply to this message visit the message page: http://community.jboss.org/message/520165#520165
