Help me in Moving a State from one task to another

[patnaik]

Hi All,
I have a problem for moving one state to another.
i have the following processdefinition.xml but i guess there is some problem in jboss forum to display xml files

################################################
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

<process-definition name="Schedule process">



actor1


actor2


actor3



<!-- START-STATE -->
<start-state name="Start Some process" swimlane="actor2">

</start-state>





<!-- DECISION -->





<!-- NODE -->





<!-- NODE -->











<!-- END-STATE -->
<end-state name="done" />

</process-definition>



################################################



Here by following api i am trying to start a process and moving the state from one to another.

so i have written the following code correct if i am wrong.

Starting a process
jbpmSession = jbpmSessionFactory.openJbpmSession();
ProcessDefinition processDefinition = jbpmSession.getGraphSession().findLatestProcessDefinition(strProcDef);
ProcessInstance processInstance = new ProcessInstance(processDefinition);
Token token = processInstance.getRootToken();
System.out.println("token.getnode.name : "+token.getNode().getName());
token.signal();
jbpmSession.close();

Please give me some input if i have missed any thing.

Susant,

Most likely, no one will be able to help you until you successfully post your process definition.

Agreed, and pinging it to get it at the top of the list to give it more attention doesn't either. Could even have the opposite result.

the thread at the sf forum is removed. Post it here and surround it by a 'code' tag:

<ROOT><ELEMENT ATTIBUTE="value">TEXT</ELEMENT></ROOT>

yaa thanks Ronal for helping me to put the xml file by using code tag.
so here is the xml file.
i am trying to move from startstate to another state

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

TaskMgmtInstance.java:41 tries to load the task instance class. The name of this class is the value of property "jbpm.task.instance.class" in your jbpm.properties. You can see the actual value jBPM is using by looking for this entry in your log output:

2005-08-02 12:19:48,596 DEBUG [org.jbpm.JbpmConfiguration] jbpm.task.instance.class=org.jbpm.taskmgmt.exe.TaskInstance

What value do you see? My guess is that there is no such entry or that jBPM can't find the jbpm.properties file at all.

Hi All,

Alejandro your guess is correct i have missed jbpm.task.instance.class property and i have filled as you suggested.
and i am able to start a state when i am using
processInstance.signal();
i have a doubt what should i do processinstance.signal() to start a state or token.signal.
Ronald can you please make me correct if i am missing something.

what should i use token or processinstance.signal.

like when i am using token.signal(); the error i am getting as follows

10:38:07,828 ERROR JbpmSession : org.hibernate.TransientObjectException: object references an unsaved transient instance - save the transient instance before flushing: org.jbpm.graph.exe.Token
Exception is java.lang.RuntimeException: couldn't commit transaction

Reply will be highly appriciated,
Susant
