Hi guys,
Recently me and my colleague started learning jBPM for our new project. I have started
creating some processes to learn its capabilities.
We have developed a simple Parent-Children scenario.
The parent process is:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
| <process-definition xmlns="" name="ParentProcess">
| <start-state name="start">
| <transition to="SetInputVariable"
name="toSetInputVariable"></transition>
| </start-state>
|
| <process-state name="InvokeChildProcess">
| <sub-process name="ChildProcess"
binding="late"></sub-process>
| <variable access="read"
name="parentKey"></variable>
| <variable access="read,write"
name="lastVisitedProcess"></variable>
| <transition to="PrintVariables"
name="toPrintVariables"></transition>
| </process-state>
|
| <node name="SetInputVariable">
| <action
class="com.sirma.ecs2.test.subprocess.actions.SetInputVariables"></action>
| <transition to="InvokeChildProcess"
name="toInvokeChildProcess"></transition>
| </node>
|
| <node name="PrintVariables">
| <action
class="com.sirma.ecs2.test.subprocess.actions.PrintVariables"></action>
| <transition to="end" name="toEnd"></transition>
| </node>
| <end-state name="end"></end-state>
| </process-definition>
The child process is:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
| <process-definition xmlns="" name="ChildProcess">
| <start-state name="start">
| <transition to="Reset Variables"
name="toResetVariables"></transition>
| </start-state>
|
| <node name="Reset Variables">
| <action name="Reset Variables"
class="com.sirma.ecs2.test.subprocess.actions.ResetVariables"></action>
| <transition to="WaitSignal"
name="toWaitSignal"></transition>
| </node>
|
| <state name="WaitSignal">
| <transition to="end" name="toEnd">
| <action
class="com.sirma.ecs2.test.subprocess.actions.ExitWait"></action>
| </transition>
| </state>
| <end-state name="end"></end-state>
| </process-definition>
I start a Parent process and signal it the Token stops at the child`s State node:
WaitSignal.
The Root token of the parent node is in InvokeChildProcess. The ActionHandlers are very
simple just print a message and work with some variables.
If i try to signal the Parent process`s root node i got a NullPointerException:

Probably the right token that i have to signal is the token of the subprocess, but i don`t
think that such an exception should occur.
The code that i execute is:
JbpmContext jbpmContext = JbpmConfiguration.getInstance()
| .createJbpmContext();
| try {
| ProcessInstance instance = jbpmContext.getGraphSession()
| .loadProcessInstance(instanceID);
| instance.getRootToken().signal();
| } finally {
| jbpmContext.close();
| }
The code that really works is:
JbpmContext jbpmContext = JbpmConfiguration.getInstance()
| .createJbpmContext();
| try {
| ProcessInstance instance = jbpmContext.getGraphSession()
| .loadProcessInstance(instanceID);
| instance.getRootToken().getSubProcessInstance().getRootToken()
| .signal();
| } finally {
| jbpmContext.close();
| }
I`m using jbpm-3.3.0.GA version and jboss-4.2.3.GA.
I debuged it and the subProcessInstance variable at ExecutionContext isn`t set.
Hope there is a solution for this, because in the near future i have to develop a very
complex processes including subprocesses.
