    "Break" with a time-out

    boerse

      Hi, i'm trying to modelate a process and use it as template. i have a node in which i have the possibility to confirm the

      order or cancel it (that's after submitting the order, of course, node 1). If i don't cancel or confirm the order, i would

      like to get this order *automatically* confirmed with a time-out, the process would be:

      order-> - cancel -node_cancel \
      - confirm -node_confirm - end
      .. time-out -node_timeout /

      is this possible to modelate with jBPM? How? could you give me please an example how to do it? Thank you very much!

          Have a look at the section of the docs on timers : http://docs.jboss.com/jbpm/v3/userguide/scheduler.html#timers

          Regards,

            Hi Koen, thank you for the response, i've already read the docs but what i want to do is:

            order-> task node (accept/cancel order)-> end

            it's quite simple, if in a fixed period i don't accept or cancel explicity the order, it will be automatically executed and the system ends. I tried to make it in jbpm but when the timer starts, in the java:

            package org.jbpm.example;
            
            import org.apache.commons.logging.Log;
            import org.apache.commons.logging.LogFactory;

            import org.jbpm.taskmgmt.exe.TaskMgmtInstance;
            
            public class timeOut implements ActionHandler {
            
             private static final long serialVersionUID = 1L;
            
             String swimlaneName;
             String msg;
            
             public void execute(ExecutionContext executionContext) throws Exception {
             TaskMgmtDefinition taskMgmtDefinition = executionContext.getProcessDefinition().getTaskMgmtDefinition();
             TaskMgmtInstance taskMgmtInstance = executionContext.getTaskMgmtInstance();
             ContextInstance contextInstance = executionContext.getContextInstance();
            
             Swimlane shipperSwimlane = taskMgmtDefinition.getSwimlane("user");
             SwimlaneInstance shipperSwimlaneInstance = taskMgmtInstance.getInitializedSwimlaneInstance(executionContext, shipperSwimlane);
            
             String actorId = shipperSwimlaneInstance.getActorId();
            
             String displayMsg = "a";//replace(msg, "${"+swimlaneName+"}", actorId);
             //displayMsg = replace(displayMsg, "${item}", (String)contextInstance.getVariable("item"));
             //displayMsg = replace(displayMsg, "${date}", (String)contextInstance.getVariable("date"));
            
             log.info("###############################################");
             log.info("### TimeOut: "+displayMsg);
             log.info("###############################################");
            
             executionContext.leaveNode();
             }
            
             static String replace(String msg, String pattern, String replacement) {
             String replaced = null;
             int pos = msg.indexOf(pattern);
             if (pos!=-1) {
             replaced = msg.substring(0,pos)
             +replacement
             +msg.substring(pos+pattern.length());
             }
             return replaced;
             }
            
             private static final Log log = LogFactory.getLog(timeOut.class);
            }


            it leaves the node but informs of an error:

            the cause seems to be:
            Caused by: org.jbpm.JbpmException: can't leave node 'Node(auto-out)'
            without leaving transition

            i don't understand it... should be this done in a differente way? any help will be very appreciated...

              You should signal the token instead of calling leaveNode.

                  I changed the code to make a signal, but the problem persists:

                  it leaves the node but the error is still here:

                    It looks like the timer thread wants to execute a timer which is void because the process is finished. Make sure to cancel any timers in this action resulting in the ending of the process.

                        Ok, done with a cancel-timer, BUT (immer a but) i do spring to the next node and end the process, BUT an action to be made in the temporized is still in the tasks to be performed by the assigned actor. Of course i want to abort all tasks related with this (already ended) process...

                          Hi, i'm still working arround this point. I have a task-node with several tasks. How can i do to cancel all tasks when the first of them is finished? I make a token.signal (or alternatetively TaskInstance ti= executionContext.getTaskInstance(); ti.end();, but the other tasks pending from that task-node are still active. I tried with create-tasks="true" signal="first" and so but no result... Thanks!

                            Hi, i think the only way to end all tasks from the task-node is to kill them (or cancel them) in the action of the timer.

                            I added the code:

                            TaskInstance ti= executionContext.getTaskInstance();
                             //ti.end();
                            
                            
                             Collection tasks = executionContext.getTaskMgmtInstance().getUnfinishedTasks(token);
                             Iterator taskItr = tasks.iterator();
                             while(taskItr.hasNext()) {
                             TaskInstance ti2 = (TaskInstance)taskItr.next();
                             if (ti2!=ti) {if(!ti2.hasEnded()) ti2.cancel();}
                             {ti.end();}


                            So it should cancel the other task of the node (there are 2, timer and the other task that waits for the user's action) and end the timer one, but althought all processes are "propery" ended, it informs of an error:

                            It seems that by doing cancel or end the token goes to the next node (end) and in the cancellation or ending of the other task it tries again to move forward the token... i don't know what else to try. :(

                              Hi, i'm still on it and i tell you the news (for those who'll use it in the future):

                              i had 2 tasks in one task-node, the one for the timer and the other waiting for the action of the user, if timer is over, i signal or end (i don't see anu difference) the instance and i lose the token, in order to be able to end (cancel) the other task, i have to set signal="last", problem is that the process does not end until timer ends. More or less it will do, but now i want to add a second user that can perform an action, too, so i added the timer-task some interaction (because i assignment expression previous--> group(mygroup) does not work), so what should i do now? set 2 timers in the 2 tasks of the task-node in order to cancel the non-realised-task? I'm pretty confused... Isn't there any easier way to break out from a task-node by a timer without having to make all those spins?

                                I have been a little bit quite the last months (because of a non jBPM project) but now I am back in development :-)

                                I stuck in a similar problem, are there any new ideas about that issue before I start investigating deeper?

                                Thanks a lot

                                    Issues regarding cancelling timers, open tasks etc when a process ends is at least addressed in 3.2 (cvs) and it might be addressed in 3.1.2/3 as well. Not sure about the latter. Check jira for this.

                                    If your problem is different/not solved, please open a new topic for this
