Hello, In my process definition we have several nodes (containing actions), that have to have an "earliest start time" associated to them. The best way I found for implementing this functionality was creating a State node, create a timer inside it , and associate the action to the timer. Something like the example below: <state name="LoadConvertedCont1" async="true"> | <timer duedate='#{executionStartTime + 1 Hour}' > | <action class="com.xxxxx.jbpm.actions.Adaptor" async="true" name="loadConvertedContributions"> | <taskBeanId> | loadConvertedContributions | </taskBeanId> | <maxDurationMinutes> | 60 | </maxDurationMinutes> | </action> | </timer> | <transition to="LoadConvertedCon2"></transition> | </state> Everything is fine, until I try to stop the execution of the action. I have my own implementation of the JobExecutorThread. I extended the API for being to interrupt the execution of an the action. If the action was inside a node of type node, the code for accessing it, is quite easy : Action action = job.getToken().getNode().getAction(); But when the action is inside a timer and the timer is inside a Node of type State, I don't see an easy way of retrieving the action object, and the only possible way that I have found is using the HibernateProxy provided by Hibernate, although I don't consider this is the best option Timer timer = (Timer)((HibernateProxy)job).getHibernateLazyInitializer().getImplementation(); | Action action = timer.getAction(); Is there any way, using the JBPM API for retrieving the action being executed from the JobExecutorThread ? job.getToken().getNode().getName(); | //is providing me the correct name of the Node (even if it is if type State) | | runningJob.getToken().getNode().getAction(); | //is null when the action is inside the timer, and the timer inside the State Node.
