    execution.leaveNode() causes delegation exception

    jcash

      I have moddeled a process that has a decision node in it. In the ActionHandler for the decision node, I use execution.leaveNode("transition") to leave the node. The problem is that although my process is followed and all the currect log statements are output (for debug) I get a delegation exception.

      The process seams to work, and is followed, but the delegationexception happens after the process has enede.

      Below is the code for my simplified decision action handler:

      package uk.co.ifdsgroup.bpm.node;
      
      import org.apache.log4j.Logger;
      import org.jbpm.graph.def.ActionHandler;
      import org.jbpm.graph.exe.ExecutionContext;
      
      import uk.co.ifdsgroup.bpm.domain.Deal;
      
      public class CheckFund implements ActionHandler
      {
       private static final long serialVersionUID = 4860913349412363614L;
       private static final Logger logger = Logger.getLogger(CheckFund.class);
      
       public void execute(ExecutionContext execution)
       {
       //Get deal
       Deal deal = (Deal)execution.getVariable("Deal");
       if(deal == null)
       {
       logger.error("No deal set on execution.");
       return;
       }
      
       //Get fund
       String fund = deal.getFund();
      
       if(fund.startsWith("Euro"))
       {
       logger.debug("European Fund.");
       execution.leaveNode("Yes");
       }
       else
       {
       logger.debug("UK Fund.");
       execution.leaveNode("No");
       }
       }
      }
      


      Below is a snippet from my log, including the successfull log statements:
