Re: [jbpm-dev] Question about workitems and abort

Hi all, my question is about the completion of a custom workitem; my scenario: - process reaches and executes a custom work item - work item throws an exception (under the hood it calls an ejb that throws an exception) - the exception is catched inside the work item - inside the catch block the method manager.abortWorkItem is called In case of abortion of a work item I'm wondering why the nest step inside a process is anyway called? In case of abortion of a work item IMHO the process should not go on but "roll back" to the previous safe state This is the scenario my customer need. Actually I'm facing this situation not calling the method manager.abortWorkItem but throwing inside the work item a throw new IllegalStateException("****EJBControlWorkItemHandler:ILLEGAL STATE EXCEPTION!!!****") Maybe a solution could be an evaluation of the work item status after the completion of the work item. Anyway how can I handle an automatically rollback to a previous safe state?
