HI All,

I have a problem when running timer with EL expression on JBPM 4.4 snapshot. I use an EL expression #{provisioningService.checkStatusDelay} that return a duration string like "2 minutes"


Previously on JBPM 4.3, the EL gets evaluated correctly and timer works as expected but now I get the following error on 4.4 snapshot.

Is this a bug or the expected behavior?

Thank you.
