[jboss-user] [JBoss jBPM] - A question on Transitions

[Toriton]

Hi all, i ahve a little question.

This is a part of my Process definition


  | <state name="stateA">
  | 		<event type="node-enter">
  | 			<action class="com.example.AnActionHandler"></action>
  | 		</event>
  | 		<event type="node-leave">
  | 			<cancel-timer name="MailSender"/>
  | 		</event>
  | 		<timer duedate="30 seconds" name="MailSender" transition="to nodeMail"></timer>
  | 		<transition to="stateB" name="to stateB"></transition>
  | 		<transition to="nodeMail" name="to nodeMail"></transition>
  | 	</state>
  | 



In this case i have a stateA that have 2 transitions, one is related at normal workflow, the transition named to stateB, and the other that is invoked only from a timer. 

And it work properly if i invoke the signal() method from a webapp that i use to test the process workflow.

But the question is: there is any chance to configure the transition nodeMail to be invoked only by the timer? and not from the signal() method? 

Because if configured as i described before, the signal() method is perfect anyway to call  correctly the transition to stateB, but if the order of the transitions is changed in:


  | 		<transition to="nodeMail" name="to nodeMail"></transition>
  | <transition to="stateB" name="to stateB"></transition>
  | 

the transition named to nodeMail is the only one transition available invoking the signal() method.

I know that i can call transition by name too, but i was looking if there was a chance to lock some transition to be executed if who is calling is not the one i expect.


Thank in advance for any :) reply.
T.
