    My workflow doesn't run correctly

    pedrosacosta

      Can anybody test my example, and see if, if my worflows runs correctly? In my pc, the workflows doesn't pass from the first task-node to the second.

      Here is the code:

      package com.sample.jbpm;
      
      import org.jbpm.graph.def.*;
      import org.jbpm.graph.exe.*;
      import org.jbpm.taskmgmt.exe.*;
      
      import com.sample.debug.MyDebug;
      //import org.jbpm.taskmgmt.def.*;
      import java.util.Vector;
      import java.util.Iterator;
      
      public class WorkFlow implements ActionHandler
      {
       private Vector formParameter;
       public ProcessDefinition processDefinition;
       public ProcessInstance processInstance;
       public Token token;
       public TaskInstance taskInstance;
       public Iterator it;
      
       public WorkFlow()
       {
       processDefinition = ProcessDefinition.parseXmlString(
       "<process-definition name='simple'> " +
       " <start-state name='start'> " +
       " <transition name='to_registo_ocorrencia' to='registo_ocorrencia'/> " +
       " </start-state> " +
       " <task-node name='registo_ocorrencia'> " +
       " <task name='RegistoOcorrenciaTask'/> " +

       public static void main(String[] args){
       WorkFlow wf = new WorkFlow();
       wf.RegistoOcorrenciaTask();
       wf.ListaTarefasTask();
       wf.NotificacoesTask();
       }
      
      
       public void execute(ExecutionContext executionContext) throws Exception {
       MyDebug.print("------> ENTROU NO EXECUTE <---------");
       executionContext.leaveNode();
      
       }
      }
      
      


      The output is:

      xxxxxxxxxx RegistoOcorrenciaTask xxxxxxxxxxx
      getName() --> RegistoOcorrenciaTask
      isSignalling() --> true
      isBlocking() --> false
      hasEnded() --> true
      xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
      TASKINSTANCE RegistoOcorrenciaTask
      log4j:WARN No appenders could be found for logger (org.jbpm.jpdl.xml.JpdlXmlReader).
      log4j:WARN Please initialize the log4j system properly.
      



      Can anybody understand why this happens?

      Please, I'm desperate.

      Thanks.

          I've working on this example, for too many of days, and still can't find the problem.

          Any help?

          Thanks

            you need to retrieve the unfinished taskinstances. Look in the api. It is a different method. The token is probly in the next state. and your process is working fine, it's just that you retrieve an already finished task

              Hi!
              Could you please explain this a bit?
              I am sorry about it but the process definitions I have already deployed are just stuck in one state.
              processInstance.signal() is supposed to move the WF from one state to next state?? (Is it right?) Thats what the impression I had!
              If One of my state (in WF) dosent have any task or action associated with it. How will it proceed to next state?
              Please explain this a bit.
              I am really confused at this stage.
              Thanks!

                When I try to debug my processdefinition. I Console window I see that its going in a somekind of loop. and I get following messages in the console window repeatadly!! I am really not able to find any reson for this. May be looking at console output you can give me some ideas?
                This may be the reason for my processdefinition getting stuck in one state!
                Please Help!

                  @pedrosacosta:

                  taskInstance = (TaskInstance) processInstance.getTaskMgmtInstance().getTaskInstances().iterator().next();

                  gives you the first taskInstance of this process, not the UNFINISHED taskInstances. A modern IDE has codecompletion, where you can see

                  taskInstance = (TaskInstance) processInstance.getTaskMgmtInstance().getUnfinishedTasks(taskInstance = (TaskInstance) processInstance.getTaskMgmtInstance().getUnfinishedTasks(processInstance.getRootToken()).iterator().next();).iterator().next();

                  is also possible. This will give you the unfinished tasks so you can signal that one, instead of the already completed one. We are thinking of returning an error when an already completed task is signalled, but that will not be in the 3.1 release.

                  @forJbpm:

                  Sorry, I cannot help you since I have no idea what your real problem is. And please do not start a new unrelated question in an already existing thread. That is confusing to us and other users.

                    I am reallly sorry for confusing everyone.
                    But I thought that problem is related so I posted it in the same thread as I am doing it in similar way.
                    Anyways, Again sorry for all the confusion!
