Hallo,
I am using jBPM in a database environment. I have the following process definition

  | <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
  | <process-definition xmlns="" name="TestFork">
  | <start-state name="StartState1219404587924">
  | <transition to="StartDecision1219404587924/StartDecision1219404587924"></transition>
  | </start-state>
  | <super-state name="StartDecision1219404587924">
  | <decision name="StartDecision1219404587924">
  | <transition name="To_R9v0MGIXEd2c76EEAkhdWA" to="../Fork1/Fork1">
  | </transition>
  | </decision>
  | </super-state>
  | <super-state name="Fork1">
  | <fork name="Fork1">
  | <transition name="To_1k7IQHAeEd2zyONQHdQlYg" to="../State1/State1">
  | </transition>
  | <transition name="To_atT-cGReEd2afZhBo4aBRw" to="../State2/State2">
  | </transition>
  | </fork>
  | <join name="Join1">
  | <event type="node-enter">
  | <script><expression>
  | executionContext.setDiscriminator(true);
  | </expression></script></event>
  | <transition name="End" to="../End/End"></transition>
  | </join>
  | </super-state>
  | <super-state name="State1">
  | <state name="State1">
  | <transition name="To_QPWKwGReEd2afZhBo4aBRwJoin" to="../Fork1/Join1">
  | </transition>
  | </state>
  | </super-state>
  | <super-state name="State2">
  | <state name="State2">
  | <transition name="To_QPWKwGReEd2afZhBo4aBRwJoin" to="../Fork1/Join1">
  | </transition>
  | </state>
  | </super-state>
  | <super-state name="End">
  | <end-state name="End">
  | </end-state>
  | </super-state>
  | </process-definition>
  | 
When I run this process past the fork, I correctly have two child tokens, one for State1 and one for State2.

Now I add a node in front of the fork. My process definition now looks as follows.

  | <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
  | <process-definition xmlns="" name="TestFork">
  | <start-state name="StartState1219404587924">
  | <transition to="StartDecision1219404587924/StartDecision1219404587924"></transition>
  | </start-state>
  | <super-state name="StartDecision1219404587924">
  | <decision name="StartDecision1219404587924">
  | <transition name="To_R9v0MGIXEd2c76EEAkhdWA" to="../Node1/Node1">
  | </transition>
  | </decision>
  | </super-state>
  | <super-state name="Node1">
  | <node name="Node1">
  | <event type="node-enter">
  | <script><expression>
  | System.out.println("Node1 entered");
  | executionContext.leaveNode();
  | </expression></script></event>
  | <transition name="To_QPWKwGReEd2afZhBo4aBRw" to="../Fork1/Fork1">
  | </transition>
  | </node>
  | </super-state>
  | <super-state name="Fork1">
  | <fork name="Fork1">
  | <transition name="To_1k7IQHAeEd2zyONQHdQlYg" to="../State1/State1">
  | </transition>
  | <transition name="To_atT-cGReEd2afZhBo4aBRw" to="../State2/State2">
  | </transition>
  | </fork>
  | <join name="Join1">
  | <event type="node-enter">
  | <script><expression>
  | executionContext.setDiscriminator(true);
  | </expression></script></event>
  | <transition name="End" to="../End/End"></transition>
  | </join>
  | </super-state>
  | <super-state name="State1">
  | <state name="State1">
  | <transition name="To_QPWKwGReEd2afZhBo4aBRwJoin" to="../Fork1/Join1">
  | </transition>
  | </state>
  | </super-state>
  | <super-state name="State2">
  | <state name="State2">
  | <transition name="To_QPWKwGReEd2afZhBo4aBRwJoin" to="../Fork1/Join1">
  | </transition>
  | </state>
  | </super-state>
  | <super-state name="End">
  | <end-state name="End">
  | </end-state>
  | </super-state>
  | </process-definition>
  | 
When I now run this process past the fork, I have four child tokens in JBPM_TOKEN table, two for State1 and two for State2.
Can somebody explain why this happens and how to avoid this behaviour.

Thanks in advance
    Walter
