ProcessState 'leave' method always returns default transition -------------------------------------------------------------- Key: JBPM-1016 URL: https://jira.jboss.org/jira/browse/JBPM-1016 Project: JBoss jBPM Issue Type: Patch Components: Core Engine Affects Versions: jBPM 3.2.0 Reporter: Randy Gullett Assignee: Alejandro Guizar Fix For: jBPM 3.3.2 GA The leave method for ProcessStates currently automatically takes the default transition despite taking a transition as a parameter. Can it be modified so that it leaves by the transition passed in (if it isn't null) like you'd expect it to? I want to be able to short-circuit my subprocesses in certain scenarios. See the method as it's currently coded below. public void leave(ExecutionContext executionContext, Transition transition) { ProcessInstance subProcessInstance = executionContext.getSubProcessInstance(); Token superProcessToken = subProcessInstance.getSuperProcessToken(); // feed the readable variableInstances if ((variableAccesses != null) && (!variableAccesses.isEmpty())) { ContextInstance superContextInstance = executionContext.getContextInstance(); ContextInstance subContextInstance = subProcessInstance.getContextInstance(); // loop over all the variable accesses Iterator iter = variableAccesses.iterator(); while (iter.hasNext()) { VariableAccess variableAccess = (VariableAccess) iter.next(); // if this variable access is writable if (variableAccess.isWritable()) { // the variable is copied from the sub process mapped name // to the super process variable name String mappedName = variableAccess.getMappedName(); Object value = subContextInstance.getVariable(mappedName); String variableName = variableAccess.getVariableName(); log.debug("copying sub process var '"+mappedName+"' to super process var '"+variableName+"': "+value); if (value!=null) { superContextInstance.setVariable(variableName, value, superProcessToken); } } } } // fire the subprocess ended event fireEvent(Event.EVENTTYPE_SUBPROCESS_END, executionContext); // remove the subprocess reference superProcessToken.setSubProcessInstance(null); // We replaced the normal log generation of super.leave() by creating the log here // and overriding the addNodeLog method with an empty version superProcessToken.addLog(new ProcessStateLog(this, superProcessToken.getNodeEnter(), new Date(), subProcessInstance)); // call the subProcessEndAction [b]super.leave(executionContext, getDefaultLeavingTransition());[/b] } The bold line could be replaced by something like: if(transition != null) { super.leave(executionContext, transition); } else { super.leave(executionContext, getDefaultLeavingTransition());
