Hi all
I'm trying to create an iterated subprocess (basically, pattern 14
http://www.workflowpatterns.com/patterns/control/multiple_instance/wcp14.php ). I found http://wiki.jboss.org/wiki/attach?page=ForEachForkActionHandler%2FForEachForkActionHandler.java
which provides the ability to, on a node, specify that all leaving transitions are looped 'for each' item in a list. This works as expected with a simple node that as some script. i havent checked how it fares for task-nodes (which, invariably) is what i want.
What im trying to do is spawn a sub process for each item in the list.
I have the leaving transition wired to a process-state node which and that fails as the ForEachActionHandler.java gets to calling leave().
Simple nodes: fine
Process-state nodes: not so good.
Below are my 2 process definitions.
<process-definition name="foreach2">
<start-state name="start">
<transition to="foreachfork" />
</start-state>
<node name="foreachfork">
<action class="com.my.test.workflow.util.ForEachActionHandler"
config-type="bean">
<listVariable>assets</listVariable>
<as>asset</as>
</action>
<transition name="foreach2_sub" to="foreach2_sub"/>
</node>
<process-state name="foreach2_sub">
<sub-process name="foreach2_sub" />
<variable name="asset" access="read,write" mapped-name="asset" />
<transition to="joinforeach" />
</process-state>
<join name="joinforeach">
<transition to="end"/>
</join>
<end-state name="end"/>
</process-definition>
<process-definition name="foreach2_sub">
<start-state name="start">
<transition to="one" />
</start-state>
<node name="one">
<script>
System.out.println("foreach2_sub one: " + asset);
</script>
<transition to="two"/>
</node>
<node name="two">
<script>
System.out.println("foreach2_sub two: " + asset);
</script>
<transition to="end"/>
</node>
<end-state name="end"/>
</process-definition>
Thank you for any help,
