[jbpm-issues] [JBoss JIRA] Work started: (JBPM-2275) handle async message jobs after process instance deletion

handle async message jobs after process instance deletion --------------------------------------------------------- Key: JBPM-2275 URL: https://jira.jboss.org/jira/browse/JBPM-2275 Project: JBoss jBPM Issue Type: Task Security Level: Public(Everyone can see) Components: Runtime Engine Reporter: Tom Baeyens Assignee: Tom Baeyens Priority: Critical Fix For: jBPM 4.0 when a process instance ends, a delete process instance synchronization is issued. but potentially this last transaction also schedules some async continuations or async event listeners. as long as those messages are not processed the jobs should not be deleted. currently they are deleted: in HibernatePvmDbSession.deleteProcessInstance : // delete remaining jobs for this process instance List<JobImpl> jobs = findJobs(processInstanceId); for (JobImpl job: jobs) { session.delete(job); } In case of the normal process instance ending, the process instance is deleted because of the synchronization. In that case, only timers should be deleted there. And a mechanism should be put in place so that the process instance is only deleted after the last async message for that execution has been processed. In case a process instance is deleted as an admin operation, all the jobs (incl messages) should be deleted. At least investigate and clearly document in which cases this goes bananas
