I'm sure not all of this is necessary, but I threw it all at it, and it worked. Whenever I trimmed anything, it didn't. This can't be right, since it seems to create a second timer, but I took care of that in the handler. timer = new Timer(pi.getRootToken()); timer.setGraphElement(pi.getRootToken().getNode()); timer.setName("programmatic timer"); timer.setRepeat("10 seconds"); timer.setDueDate(new Date()); timer.execute(jbpmContext); jbpmConfiguration.startJobExecutor(); View the original post : http://www.jboss.com/index.html?module=bb&op=viewtopic&p=4130386#...
