[jbpm-issues] [JBoss JIRA] Created: (JBPM-1183) Node/State don't provide any support for Conditions on Transitions

Node/State don't provide any support for Conditions on Transitions ------------------------------------------------------------------ Key: JBPM-1183 URL: http://jira.jboss.com/jira/browse/JBPM-1183 Project: JBoss jBPM Issue Type: Bug Components: Core Engine Affects Versions: jBPM jPDL 3.2.2 Reporter: Britt Miner Assigned To: Tom Baeyens Node and State don't provide any preliminary check for conditions provided on transitions. No check is performed until the transition is signaled, at which point the process will barf if the condition evaluates to false. Regardless if a person "should" be using transition conditions in Node or State, the schema allows it, the documentation doesn't forbid it, and the current behavior of a Transition element in the jpdl is inconsistent. The fix to make everything consistent is fairly simple--only org.jbpm.graph.def.Node needs to be altered: // BRITT --replace the following line with the code below // to check conditions before selecting the transition to take... //leave(executionContext); //original line boolean hasTransitioned = false; Iterator iter = leavingTransitions.iterator(); while (iter.hasNext()) { Transition candidate = (Transition) iter.next(); String conditionExpression = candidate.getCondition(); if (conditionExpression != null) { Object result = JbpmExpressionEvaluator.evaluate(conditionExpression, executionContext); if (Boolean.TRUE.equals(result)) { leave(executionContext, candidate); hasTransitioned = true; break; } } else { leave(executionContext, candidate); hasTransitioned = true; break; } } if (!hasTransitioned) { this.getDefaultLeavingTransition().removeConditionEnforcement(); log.warn("All transition conditions have evaluated to 'false'. Taking the default transition."); leave(executionContext, this.getDefaultLeavingTransition()); } // --BRITT -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - If you think it was sent incorrectly contact one of the administrators: http://jira.jboss.com/jira/secure/Administrators.jspa - For more information on JIRA, see: http://www.atlassian.com/software/jira
