Signaling RootToken on Fork Node --------------------------------- Key: JBPM-642 URL: http://jira.jboss.com/jira/browse/JBPM-642 Project: JBoss jBPM Issue Type: Feature Request Components: Core Engine Reporter: Enric Cecilla Assigned To: Tom Baeyens Giving the following processdefinition: *start->fork->a->join->end ->b ^ When RootToken is on Fork node trying to signal again the RootToken actually moves the token to one branch state, then RootToken can be signalled til it is on the Join node. At that moment it can be signalled again and it leaves the Join node. pi.signal(); assertEquals( "fork", pi.getRootToken().getNode().getName() ); //true pi.signal(); assertEquals( "b", pi.getRootToken().getNode().getName() ); //true pi.signal(); assertEquals( "join", pi.getRootToken().getNode().getName() ); //true Does it makes any sense being able to signal a RootToken on Fork node which has children on every branch? From my point of view signalling on that condition should throw and Exception. Only child tokens should be allowed to signal since "real" tasks are on child tokens
