Fork Node doesn't support conditions on Transitions --------------------------------------------------- Key: JBPM-1173 URL: http://jira.jboss.com/jira/browse/JBPM-1173 Project: JBoss jBPM Issue Type: Bug Components: Core Engine Affects Versions: jBPM jPDL 3.2 Reporter: Britt Miner Assigned To: Tom Baeyens Documentation does not clearly provide any limits to where conditions on Transitions can be used, but the Fork Node doesn't support Transition conditions. For instance <fork name='FORK_1' > <transition name='t1' to='NODE_A'> <condition>#{false}</condition> </transition> <transition name='t2' to='NODE_B'/> </fork> will fail with a "transition condition #{false} evaluated to 'false'" error when the fork attempts to take transition 't1'. Why provide for this? Someone might want to: <fork name='FORK_1' > <transition name='startMyProject' to='...'/> <transition name='orderEngine to='...'> <condition>#{needsEngine}</condition> </transition> <transition name='orderWheels to='...'> <condition>#{needsWheels}</condition> </transition> ...etc... </fork> Correcting the issue is as simple as making the following change to org.jbpm.graph.node.Fork.java: // BRITT --replace the following line with the code below // to check conditions before adding valid transitions... //transitionNames = getLeavingTransitionsMap().keySet(); //original line 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)) { transitionNames.add(candidate.getName()); } }else{ transitionNames.add(candidate.getName()); } } if (transitionNames.size() == 0) { transitionNames.add(this.getDefaultLeavingTransition().getName()); this.getDefaultLeavingTransition().removeConditionEnforcement(); log.warn("All transition conditions have evaluated to 'false'. Taking the default transition."); } // --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
