Firstly, the process instance was associated with the old definition so it was correct that the email was sent. My bad. Now I have a new process instance associated with the new definition (below). Now even both node A and B complete successfully, the email was never sent. The reason is the event at node A SEND_APPROVE_EMAIL_TO_REQUESTOR) was never fired. Is it legal to have event type="process-end" at a node which is not an END node? | <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> | | <process-definition xmlns="urn:jbpm.org:jpdl-3.2" name="MY_PROCESS_DEF"> | | | <start-state name="START"> | <transition to="APPROVAL" name="to APPROVAL"></transition> | </start-state> | | | <task-node name="APPROVAL"> | <task name="mypackage.ApproverAssignmentHandler"> | <assignment class="mypackage.ApproverAssignmentHandler"></assignment> | </task> | <transition to="fork for approve path" name="approve"></transition> | <transition to="fork for reject path" name="reject"></transition> | <transition to="fork for cancel path" name="cancel"></transition> | </task-node> | | <node name="SEND_APPROVE_EMAIL_TO_REQUESTOR"> | <event type="process-end"> | <action name="mypackage.ApprovedEmailActionHandler" class="mypackage.ApprovedEmailActionHandler"></action> | </event> | <transition to="join for approve path" name="from SEND_APPROVE_EMAIL_TO_REQUESTOR"></transition> | </node> | | <node name="EXECUTE_REQUESTED_PROGRAM"> | <action class="mypackage.ExeRequestProgramActionHandler" name="mypackage.ExeRequestProgramActionHandler" accept-propagated-events="false"></action> | <transition to="join for approve path" name="from EXECUTE_REQUESTED_PROGRAM "></transition> | </node> | | <node name="SEND_REJECT_EMAIL_TO_REQUESTOR"> | <event type="process-end"> | <action name="mypackage.RejectedEmailActionHandler" class="mypackage.RejectedEmailActionHandler"></action> | </event> | <transition to="join for reject path" name="from SEND_REJECT_EMAIL_TO_REQUESTOR"></transition> | </node> | | <node name="DELETE_REQUEST_DATA"> | <action class="mypackage.DeleteRequestDataActionHandler" name="mypackage.DeleteRequestDataActionHandler" accept-propagated-events="false"></action> | <transition to="join for reject path" name="from DELETE_REQUEST_DATA"></transition> | </node> | | <fork name="fork for approve path"> | <transition to="SEND_APPROVE_EMAIL_TO_REQUESTOR" name="to SEND_APPROVE_EMAIL_TO_REQUESTOR"></transition> | <transition to="EXECUTE_REQUESTED_PROGRAM" name="to EXECUTE_REQUESTED_PROGRAM "></transition> | </fork> | | <fork name="fork for reject path"> | <transition to="SEND_REJECT_EMAIL_TO_REQUESTOR" name="to SEND_REJECT_EMAIL_TO_REQUESTOR"></transition> | <transition to="DELETE_REQUEST_DATA" name="to DELETE_REQUEST_DATA "></transition> | </fork> | | <join name="join for approve path"> | <transition to="END" name="from join for approve path"></transition> | </join> | | <join name="join for reject path"> | <transition to="END" name="from join for reject path"></transition> | </join> | | <fork name="fork for cancel path"> | <transition to="SEND_TIMEOUT_EMAIL_TO_REQUESTOR" name="to SEND_TIMEOUT_EMAIL_TO_REQUESTOR"></transition> | <transition to="DELETE_REQUEST_DATA_DUE_TO_CANCEL" name="to DELETE_REQUEST_DATA_DUE_TO_CANCEL"></transition> | </fork> | | <node name="SEND_TIMEOUT_EMAIL_TO_REQUESTOR"> | <event type="process-end"> | <action name="mypackage.TimedOutEmailActionHandler" class="mypackage.TimedOutEmailActionHandler"></action> | </event> | <transition to="join for cancel path" name="from SEND_TIMEOUT_EMAIL_TO_REQUESTOR"></transition> | </node> | | <node name="DELETE_REQUEST_DATA_DUE_TO_CANCEL"> | <event type="process-end"> | <action name="mypackage.DeleteRequestDataActionHandler" class="mypackage.DeleteRequestDataActionHandler"></action> | </event> | <transition to="join for cancel path" name="from DELETE_REQUEST_DATA_DUE_TO_CANCEL"></transition> | </node> | | <join name="join for cancel path"> | <transition to="END" name="from join for cancel path"></transition> | </join> | | | <end-state name="END"></end-state> | | | </process-definition> | View the original post : http://www.jboss.com/index.html?module=bb&op=viewtopic&p=4175390#...
