How to exit a fork? (besides the join node)

[mennen]

Hi,

I've been trying to test the execution flow of a process definition that contains a fork.
The fork has two children:

<fork name="fork1">
 <transition name="materiel" to="reception materiel"></transition>
 <transition name="facture" to="reception facture"></transition>
 </fork>

The special thing about these transitions is that they are both going to end in wait states (associated with timers). (ie: "reception materiel" and "reception facture" are states)

In my test case, as soon as I get into the fork node with a

token.signal()

, that's when the trouble begins: I can't manage to make the process get out of these states in the same time. The token is either on the first one or the other(or both of them). All I want to do is exit the fork without having to go through the join node.

I do have a join node, but sometimes, if the process doesn't go as expected, i have to end it . And I have 2 end states. On of them is for normal behaviour, the other one for exceptional ones.

Any clues as to how to get out of this fork?

Thanks in advance,

Read about it in a post at Feb. 17

I was trying the same thing, but is mandatory to join all forks before process ending.

give the state an additional 'exception transition' and do not show that in the ui. That way you can signal the token in that stat to take the exception route which e.g. goes to the join.

Thanks for your reply.But is there a way not to show this exception transition in the graph or ui (other than manually do it in the jsp pages)?

Thanks again,
