[jboss-user] [JBoss jBPM] - Issue with Forks and Sub Processes

[andy.moody]

Apologies if this issue has been raised before on the forums - I couldn't see it anywhere so I thought I'd raise it.

I have a relatively simple process which looks like this:

This seems to cause issues when the End State is reached, throwing the following exception:

anonymous wrote : org.jbpm.JbpmException: couldn't signal without specifying  a leaving transition : transition is null

This appears to be caused because the process enters the first state of the first branch of the fork rather than remaining in the fork - thus creating a subprocess for the parent token as well as for each of the child tokens.
When the end state is entered the EndState execution tries to end this unused subprocess - which in turn tries to notify it's parent token - which then tries to take a transition out of the end state.
The only way I can find to work round this is to do something more like the following:

Does anyone have any ideas of a better workaround or whether I'm doing something wrong? 
Alternately - should I raise this as an issue?
