[jbossseam-issues] [JBoss JIRA] Updated: (JBSEAM-3107) Jbpm.installPageflowDefinitions() changes order of pageflowDefinitions

Jbpm.installPageflowDefinitions() changes order of pageflowDefinitions ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Key: JBSEAM-3107 URL: https://jira.jboss.org/jira/browse/JBSEAM-3107 Project: Seam Issue Type: Bug Environment: Seam 2.1 SVN trunk Reporter: Wolfgang Schwendt Assignee: Pete Muir Fix For: 2.1.0.BETA1 Attachments: JBSEAM-3107.FINAL.trunk.diff.txt, JBSEAM-3107.FIXEDFINAL.trunk.diff.txt, JBSEAM-3107.trunk.diff current code in Seam 2.1. SVN-based trunk: org.jboss.seam.bpm.Jbpm private void installPageflowDefinitions() { Set<String> mergedPageflowDefinitions = new TreeSet<String>(); Set semantics is wrong here. In order to fix the bug described below, please change to ArrayList<String> mergedPageflowDefinitions = new ArrayList<String>(); Reason: when jPDL tries to parse pageflow with a <process-state> that calls a sub pageflow via a <sub-process name="subpageflow"/> child element, it can only parse the process-state if the subpageflow was parsed already. See org.jbpm.graph.node.ProcessState.read(). If the subpageflow was NOT parsed already before the <process state> of the parent pageflow gets parsed, jBPM's SubProcessResolver throws a null pointer exception (NPE). Hence, to avoid a NPE, we have have to list all included pageflows in a partial order in components.xml: The pageflows first listed are the included subpageflows, the pageflows listed last are the parent pageflows which call the preceding subpageflows. Now, if installPageflowDefinitions() puts the names of these pageflow definition files in a set (rather than list), the order gets lost and in turn the likelihood increases that jBPM's SubProcessResolver throws a null pointer exception. <!--Pageflow definition in a special order with subpageflows listed first -> <bpm:jbpm> <bpm:process-definitions></bpm:process-definitions> <bpm:pageflow-definitions> <value>/WEB-INF/benutzerKontoEroeffnen.jpdl.xml</value> <value>/WEB-INF/beimSystemAnmelden.jpdl.xml</value> <value>/WEB-INF/beimSystemAnmeldenTopLevel.jpdl.xml</value> <value>/WEB-INF/aufWartelisteSetzen.jpdl.xml</value> <value>/WEB-INF/persoenlicheDatenBearbeiten.jpdl.xml</value> <value>/WEB-INF/zumSeminarAnmelden.jpdl.xml</value> <value>/WEB-INF/seminarSuche.jpdl.xml</value> <value>/WEB-INF/seminardatenBearbeiten.jpdl.xml</value> <value>/WEB-INF/seminarbelegungenEinsehen.jpdl.xml</value> </bpm:pageflow-definitions> </bpm:jbpm>
