Re: [rules-users] [droolsflow] JPAVariablePersister Crashing SQL Server RPC?

    java.sql.SQLException: I/O Error: DB server closed connection. You can't even connect through MSSQL Management Studios, looks like RPC service has gone down.  Haven't been able to do much troubleshooting yet (slow going when you need to get a DBA to reboot your sever every time.) I've already tested out the JPAKnowledgeService with some success.  Setting up my session with the following code,  I can see the SessionInfo, ProcessInstanceInfo, ProcessInstanceInfo_eventTypes tables storing data, looks pretty solid, and I can grab the processes again.     EntityManagerFactory emf = Persistence.createEntityManagerFactory("org.drools.persistence.jpa");     env = KnowledgeBaseFactory.newEnvironment();     env.set(EnvironmentName.ENTITY_MANAGER_FACTORY, emf);     session = JPAKnowledgeService.newStatefulKnowledgeSession(knowledgeBase, null, env);     Map<String, Object> parameterMap = new HashMap<String, Object>();     parameterMap.put("claim", claim);     processInstance = session.startProcess(CLAIMS_DEMO, parameterMap); I want to store my variable separately though, as we already have them as Hibernate DTOs.  So I added the following code, as well as adding JPAVariablePersister to my persistence.xml.     VariablePersistenceStrategyFactory.getVariablePersistenceStrategy()             .setPersister("javax.persistence.Entity",                     "org.drools.persistence.processinstance.persisters.JPAVariablePersister"); The code appears to run through.  This time, I can see data in  the SessionInfo, ProcessInstanceInfo, ProcessInstanceInfo_eventTypes tables, as well as additional data in VariableInstanceInfo, and my two entities (Claim, which has a List of Role.)  The data looks pretty good, and my process logs hit the expected nodes.   Anyway, I'll post more as I learn it.  Let me know if anyone else is running into this.   Thanks!   Bill _______________________________________________ rules-users mailing list rules-users(a)lists.jboss.org https://lists.jboss.org/mailman/listinfo/rules-users
