1. Re: invoking scheduler service in jbpm 3.0?
marcus.junk Aug 8, 2005 9:02 PM (in response to rmunjuluri)Hi,
I am having problems getting my SchedulerThread running from within an MBeanService in JBoss.
How do you go about this?
I seem to have successfully deployed the MBeanService and started the SchedulerThread but do not see any indication that the SchedulerThread is running.
The only thing I can think of it is its my logging configuration within JBoss that means I can not see the same messages you see for the thread running every minute.
below is my ServiceMBean.
If you could steer me in the right direction it would be much appreciated.
Thx, Marcus.import java.util.Date; import org.jboss.system.ServiceMBeanSupport; import org.jbpm.scheduler.exe.Timer; import org.jbpm.scheduler.impl.Scheduler; import org.jbpm.scheduler.impl.SchedulerListener; import org.jbpm.scheduler.impl.SchedulerThread; public class JbpmSchedulerService extends ServiceMBeanSupport implements JbpmSchedulerServiceMBean { private int schedulePeriod; private Scheduler scheduler; protected void startService() throws Exception { scheduler = new Scheduler(); System.out.println("schedulePeriod :" + schedulePeriod); scheduler.setInterval(schedulePeriod); // assume in milliseconds int historyMaxSize = 50; scheduler.setHistoryMaxSize(historyMaxSize); // register the console listener scheduler.start(); SchedulerThread schedulerThread = scheduler.getSchedulerThread(); schedulerThread.addListener(new SchedulerListener() { public void timerExecuted(Date date, Timer timer) { // TODO Auto-generated method stub System.out.println("date : " + date + ", timer : " + timer); } }); } protected void stopService() throws Exception { scheduler.stop(); } public void setSchedulePeriod(int seconds) { this.schedulePeriod = seconds; } public int getSchedulePeriod() { return schedulePeriod; } }

2. Re: invoking scheduler service in jbpm 3.0?
rmunjuluri Aug 9, 2005 9:49 AM (in response to rmunjuluri)Hi,
I tried something like this.
public class SchedulerService extends ServiceMBeanSupport implements ....{
private Scheduler scheduler = null;
public SchedulerService () {
super();
scheduler = new Scheduler();
}
public void startService() throws Exception {
log.info("--> Starting up Scheduler Service");
scheduler.start();
}
public void stopService() {
log.info("--> Shutting down Scheduler Service");
scheduler.stop();
}
public String getInterval() {
return (new Double(scheduler.getInterval())).toString();
}
public void setInterval(String interval) {
scheduler.setInterval((new Double(interval)).intValue());
}
public String getHistoryMaxSize() {
return (new Double(scheduler.getHistoryMaxSize())).toString();
}
public void setHistoryMaxSize(String historyMaxSize) {
scheduler.setHistoryMaxSize((new Double(historyMaxSize)).intValue());
}
}
and I set the interval to 60000 millis and the historymaxsize as attributes of the service in the deployment descriptor. this makes the schedulerthread within the Scheduler object execute every min. the logs are in DEBUG mode (using log.debug()) within the scheduler/schedulerThread. so they appear in the server.log.
the scheduler thread wakes up every min and checks for any set timers in the JBPM_TIMER table for execution.
let me know

3. Re: invoking scheduler service in jbpm 3.0?
marcus.junk Aug 9, 2005 10:10 PM (in response to rmunjuluri)yep thats similiar to what I did in the end, ta.
Have an issue around now having to embed this ServiceMBean in the same class loader as my EAR that is doing all the jbpm stuff, else the SchedulerThread when it fires cannot find the correct ActionHandler implementation.
I did get my ActionHandler to fire on a task timeout thou, the biggest problem I had was in the way I'm doing transaction management and thus the underlying scheduler was having issues trying to start a transaction. I fixed and resolved all my issues by remote debugging jboss when the executeTimers method was invoked.

4. Re: invoking scheduler service in jbpm 3.0?
rmunjuluri Aug 10, 2005 9:47 AM (in response to rmunjuluri)Cool. what did you have to do to make the actionhandler to fire? Did you have something different in the process definition that updates the JBPM_TIMER, for the MBean Service to pick up the timer settings and fire the action handler?
thanx

5. Re: invoking scheduler service in jbpm 3.0?
marcus.junk Aug 10, 2005 7:44 PM (in response to rmunjuluri)The action handler class configured in the jpdl timer definition simply needed to be in the path of the class loader that was running the SchedulerThread. It simply fired the action event on timer expiry and the class was invoked.
I found out this problem by remote debugging the executeTimers method and seeing why and what was happening when the executeTimers method was invoked.

6. Re: invoking scheduler service in jbpm 3.0?
rmunjuluri Aug 10, 2005 10:50 PM (in response to rmunjuluri)Do you see any rows created in the JBPM_TIMER table when you deployed the process def? if you did, can you give an example of the process def you used? cause I dont see any rows created in my JBPM_TIMER table and I can see that the SchedulerThread loops and checks for rows in the JBPM_TIMER table that do not have an exception.
I really appreciate your help
thanx

7. Re: invoking scheduler service in jbpm 3.0?
marcus.junk Aug 11, 2005 7:27 PM (in response to rmunjuluri)Yeah I definetly see rows added for the duration of the timer in the jbpm_timer table.
Here is my processdefintion.xml<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <process-definition xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" name="JBossSimpleTaskTimerTest"> <start-state name="start"> <transition name="tr1" to="task1"></transition> </start-state> <end-state name="end"></end-state> <task-node name="task1"> <task name="task1"> <timer name='reminder' duedate='20 seconds'> <action class='com.sample.action.TaskTimeoutMessageHandler' /> </timer> </task> <transition name="tr1" to="end"></transition> </task-node> </process-definition>
And the ActionHandler classpackage com.sample.action; import org.jbpm.graph.def.ActionHandler; import org.jbpm.graph.exe.ExecutionContext; public class TaskTimeoutMessageHandler implements ActionHandler { private static final long serialVersionUID = 1L; public void execute(ExecutionContext executionContext) throws Exception { // TODO Auto-generated method stub System.out.println("***************"); System.out.println("TaskTimeoutMessageHandler FIRED"); System.out.println("***************"); } }
And the code that invokes my business process./** * Marcus test method to test business process task timer functionality within the JBoss container * * @return true if suceeds else false * @throws Exception * * @ejb.interface-method * @ejb.transaction * type="Required" */ public boolean testBusinessProcessTaskTimer() throws Exception { String bpName = "JBossSimpleTaskTimerTest"; // open & start a business process startBusinessProcess(bpName); return true; } private void startBusinessProcess(String bpName){ // need to hook into current singleton jbpmSessionFactory using JNDI JbpmSessionFactory jbpmSessionFactory = (JbpmSessionFactory) new JndiContext().lookup("java:/jbpm/JbpmSessionFactory", JbpmSessionFactory.class); LOG.debug("opening jbpm session"); JbpmSession jbpmSession = jbpmSessionFactory.openJbpmSession(); try { LOG.debug("retrieve jbpm process definition : " + bpName); ProcessDefinition processDefinition = jbpmSession.getGraphSession().findLatestProcessDefinition(bpName); // for interest sake check to see if there are any existing BPS that have not completed. jbpmSession.getGraphSession().findProcessInstances(processDefinition.getId()); LOG.debug("creating process instance : " + bpName); ProcessInstance processInstance = new ProcessInstance(processDefinition); // start bp instance LOG.debug("starting process instance, name : " + bpName + ", process id : " + processInstance.getId()); processInstance.signal(); LOG.debug("instance.isTerminatedImplicitly=<" + processInstance.isTerminatedImplicitly() + ">"); LOG.debug("Instance is in state=<" + processInstance.getRootToken().getNode().getName() + ">"); LOG.debug("processInstance.hasEnded()=<" + processInstance.hasEnded() + ">"); LOG.debug("processInstance.getStart()=<" + processInstance.getStart() + ">"); LOG.debug("processInstance.getEnd()=<" + processInstance.getEnd() + ">"); LOG.debug("save process instance : " + processInstance); jbpmSession.getGraphSession().saveProcessInstance(processInstance); jbpmSession.getSession().flush(); } finally { LOG.debug("close jbpm session txn"); jbpmSession.close(); } }
sorry bout the weird excessive white space in the code above, something dodgy happened after I pasted into the forum and then hit preview.
And finally my jboss logs of the business process being invoked and then the timer firing.
I don't really want to post the complete jboss log in here as its verbose, how do I attach a file in this forum?
Here is a snippet of the timer firing and the hibernate code querying the jbpm_timer table. I have replaced any commercially sensitive data with ***.
