[jboss-user] [JBoss jBPM] - Transaction demarcation, callculation of the next process st

[asmo]

Hello all!

I want to use asynchron process execution. 
Therefore, i have an action in a node, in which the thread waits 10 seconds to simulate a long calculation.

Without the asynchron execution, i call the signal method on a state, the processinstance enters the node and after 10 seconds, the processinstance leaves the node and the processinstance is in the next state element. 

As far as i understand the tutorial, with asynchron execution, the processinstance should at once enter the state after the asynchron node, without waiting for the execution of the action.

anonymous wrote : 
  | Note that the jbpm client code can now commit the transaction. The sending of the message should be done in the same transaction as the process updates. So the net result of the transaction is that the token has moved to the next node (which has not yet been executed) and a org.jbpm.command.ExecuteNodeCommand-message has been sent on the asynchronous messaging system to the jBPM Command Executor.

But i have the situtation, that the client thread doesn't wait for the callculation but regardless the processinstance is in the tooken has not moved to the next state. the tooken still is in the asynchron node.

here is the code i used ( which runs without problems, if i use synchron execution and also if i use asynchron execution, there are no errors. i just wonder, why the token does not move...) :

  | 
  | //get the processinstance and so on....
  | 
  |             processInstance.signal("created");
  |    
  |             jbpmContext.save(processInstance);
  |             processInstance = null;
  |             
  |             newTransaction();
  |             
  |             processInstance = jbpmContext.loadProcessInstance(processId.longValue());
  | 
  | 
  |             //at this point i thougt, by asynchron execution the tooken has to 
  |             //be in the state element after the asynchron node, but the 
  |             //tooken is still in the node.
  | 
  |             logger.info("the processinstance is in : " + processInstance.getRootToken().getNode().getName());
  | 
  | //doing stuff like close the context....
  | 
  | 
  |     
  | protected void newTransaction() {
  |      try {
  |           commitAndCloseSession();
  |           beginSessionTransaction();
  |      } catch (Throwable t) {
  |           throw new RuntimeException("couldn't commit and start new transaction", t);
  |         }
  |       }
  | public void commitAndCloseSession() {
  |       jbpmContext.close();
  |       resetMembers();
  |       }
  |     
  | protected void initializeMembers() {
  |      session = jbpmContext.getSession();
  |      graphSession = jbpmContext.getGraphSession();
  |      taskMgmtSession = jbpmContext.getTaskMgmtSession();
  |      loggingSession = jbpmContext.getLoggingSession();
  |      schedulerSession = jbpmContext.getSchedulerSession();
  |      contextSession = jbpmContext.getContextSession();
  |      messagingSession = jbpmContext.getMessagingSession();
  |    }
  |       
  | protected void resetMembers() {
  |      session = null;
  |      graphSession = null;
  |      taskMgmtSession = null;
  |      loggingSession = null;
  |      schedulerSession = null;
  |      contextSession = null;
  |      messagingSession = null;
  |    }
  |    public void beginSessionTransaction() {
  |        jbpmContext = MyJbpmConfigurationLoader.getConfiguration().createJbpmContext();
  |        initializeMembers();
  |        logger.info("--- starting new transaction -------------------------------------------------");
  |      }
  | 
  | }
  | 

Is there something wrong with my code or does the asynchron execution behave in that way like i thought? I am using the starterkit 3.1.1 and jpdl 3.1. 

Thanks,
asmo
