Hello,
One simple approach could be to use a parameter as a flag (i.e. boolean timeout ) within your process and then simply raise it or not when completing the logic of your process (i.e. right before exiting) or after the timer node. Then at a gateway check the flag's value and decide whether you should raise an exception or not.

In addition a quote from the documentation  http://docs.jboss.org/jbpm/v5.1/userguide/ch05.html#sec.timers http://docs.jboss.org/jbpm/v5.1/userguide/ch05.html#sec.timers "+The timer is cancelled if the timer node is cancelled (e.g., by completing or aborting the enclosing process instance).+" . Actually you don't need to cancel a timer event if it is part of your process logic, instead use your logic inside your process to act accordingly (i.e. as instructed above).
