Token lock issue

[firetruck]

I have an issue with locking a Token.

When an action starts to execute inside a Node, I lock the token with the method lock() from the Token object. That's to avoid the use of it, while the action is executing.

Then, in another part of my code, i try to verify if the token is locked. I do this:

Token token= jbpmContext.loadToken(processInstance.getRootToken().getId());
 if(token.isLocked()){
 ...
 }

My problem is that when I load the token to check if it is locked, I don't get the same object that I locked in the Node. Instead, the token seems to be reloaded from database, and when it happens, the value of isLocked is lost, because it is a transient attribute.

How should I do to load the exactly same object that I had previously locked in the Node?

Hmm... maybe turn on second level caching in hibernate? Not sure, just a guess

Hi kukeltje,

Thanks for your suggestion. I tried that already. At least I think I did, I'm not an Hibernate expert.

I set the following in Token.hbm.xml:

<cache usage="read-write"/>

And it didn't work. It still loads different tokens. Do you have other suggestions on configuring the hibernate cache?
