[JBoss jBPM] - How to design a Task Node with two Transition?
by prajatna
I have a task node (Ex. PM_Approval) in the process definition. There are two transitions associated with this node called "Accepted" & "Denied" . The Accepted transition connects to another Task Node "HOD_Approval" .And the Denied ends up with end-state....... The selection of transition should base on the decision , given by user in the action class.(ProcessAction in my design...given below.)
Now how to design this .. I tried with the following , but problem is that, when ever it goes to end state by selecting Reject transition, it is again begins from the current Node.
Please suggest....what is going wrong.. with my design..
Processdefinition.xml
| <start-state name="start">
| <transition to="PM_Approval" name="Test"></transition>
| </start-state>
|
|
| <task-node name="PM_Approval" >
| <event type="node-enter">
| <action class="com.sample.action.ProcessAction">
| </action>
| </event>
| <transition to="HOD_Approval"></transition>
| <transition to="end-state" name="Denied"></transition>
| </task-node>
ProcessAction.java
| public class ProcessAction implements ActionHandler {
|
| /**
| *
| */
| private static final long serialVersionUID = 1L;
|
| public void execute(ExecutionContext executionContext) throws Exception {
| System.out.println("######################---------ProcessAction------------1-----------------###################### .");
| System.out.println("This Node is---"+executionContext.getNode().getName());
|
| String decission = null;
|
| System.out.print("Enter your decission: ");
| BufferedReader br = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(System.in));
|
|
| try {
| decission = br.readLine();
| } catch (IOException ioe) {
| System.out.println("IO error trying to read your decission!");
| }
|
| //}
|
| System.out.println("Thanks for the desission, " + decission);
| System.out.println("######################---------ProcessAction------------2-----------------###################### .");
| if(decission != null && decission.equalsIgnoreCase("a")){
|
| System.out.println("######################---------ProcessAction----a--------3-----------------###################### .");
|
| executionContext.leaveNode("Accepted");
| }
| else if(decission != null && decission.equalsIgnoreCase("d")){
|
| System.out.println("######################---------ProcessAction-----d-------3-----------------###################### .");
| executionContext.leaveNode("Denied");
| }
| else if(decission != null && decission.equalsIgnoreCase("c")){
| System.out.println("######################---------ProcessAction-----c-------3-----------------###################### .");
|
| executionContext.leaveNode("checkBudget");
| }
| else{
| System.out.println("Error trying to read your decission!..Enter only a/d ");
| }
|
| }
| }
|
Java class I am using to invoke the process...( TravelProcessTest.java)
| public class TravelProcessTest extends TestCase {
|
| public static void main(String args[])throws Exception {
| new TravelProcessTest().execute();
| }
| public void execute() throws Exception {
|
|
|
| // Extract a process definition from the processdefinition.xml file.
| ProcessDefinition processDefinition = ProcessDefinition.parseXmlResource("simple/processdefinition.xml");
|
| ProcessInstance(processDefinition,map);
| ProcessInstance instance = new ProcessInstance(processDefinition);
|
| System.out.println("Hi............");
|
| System.out.println("######################---------------------1-----------------###################### .");
|
|
|
| instance.signal();
|
| System.out.println("######################---------------------3-----------------###################### .");
| displayStatus(instance);
| System.out.println("######################---------------------4-----------------###################### .");
| );
|
|
| }
|
| private void displayStatus(ProcessInstance instance) {
| String nodeName = instance.getRootToken().getNode().getName();
| System.out.println("You are now in node: "+nodeName);
| }
|
| }
| }

As you can see, even when decision is denied , it is going to end state.. but again coming to next node...
Thanks in advance for your suggestion..
