[jbpm-issues] [JBoss JIRA] Created: (JBPM-2696) Timers should be read after node-enter actions

Timers should be read after node-enter actions ---------------------------------------------- Key: JBPM-2696 URL: https://jira.jboss.org/jira/browse/JBPM-2696 Project: jBPM Issue Type: Feature Request Security Level: Public (Everyone can see) Components: Runtime Engine Affects Versions: jBPM 3.2.8 Reporter: Bernd Ruecker Priority: Minor Fix For: jBPM 3.2.x When parsing the processdefinition, timers are read before all events are read. This leads to "create-timer" actions being added to the node-enter events BEFORE your own actions. This doesn't make a lot of sense, normally you want your own actions being executed first and the timer created afterwards. From the runtime perspective, it doesn't make any difference (since the timer is started not before the transaciton commits), but with that behavior you could e.g. calculate due dates on the node-enter event (before the time is created). This is located in the JpdlXmlReader, method "readNode", these two lines: readNodeTimers(nodeElement, node); readEvents(nodeElement, node); See Forum on the discussion how to solve it. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - If you think it was sent incorrectly contact one of the administrators: https://jira.jboss.org/jira/secure/Administrators.jspa - For more information on JIRA, see: http://www.atlassian.com/software/jira
