fix java static factory method use case ---------------------------------------- Key: JBPM-2622 URL: https://jira.jboss.org/jira/browse/JBPM-2622 Project: jBPM Issue Type: Task Security Level: Public (Everyone can see) Reporter: Tom Baeyens Assignee: Tom Baeyens Fix For: jBPM 4.3 this doesn't work as expected. <process name="OrderWithRules"> <start> <transition to="isImportant"> <java var="amount" class="java.lang.Integer" method="parseInt"> <arg><object expr="#{amount}" /></arg> </java> </transition> </start> cause is to be found somewhere in JavaBinding, i think if (XmlUtil.attribute(element, "method", true, parse, null)!=null) { UserCodeReference invocationReference = parser.parseUserCodeReference(element, parse); javaActivity.setInvocationReference(invocationReference); ObjectDescriptor objectDescriptor = (ObjectDescriptor) invocationReference.getDescriptor(); javaActivity.setArgDescriptors(objectDescriptor.getArgDescriptors()); objectDescriptor.setArgDescriptors(null); javaActivity.setMethodName(objectDescriptor.getMethodName()); objectDescriptor.setMethodName(null); } by setting the methodName to null in the object descriptor (objectDescriptor.setMethodName(null)), the object descriptor will not see it as a static factory method, but instead will look for the constructor of the class. -- 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
