Timer repetition problem

[rodosa]

Hello, I've a doubt. I would loke to build a timer. So I made a process definition and to try it I use a junit class. With the following code the action of the timer is executing:

Token token=instance.getRootToken();
CreateTimerAction createTimerAction = (CreateTimerAction) event.getActions().get(0);
Action timerAction = createTimerAction.getTimerAction();
ExecutionContext ex=new ExecutionContext(token);
timerAction.execute(ex);

I would like that my timer was executed each 10 seconds. But It is only executed once. How could I get timer were executed each 10 seconds??


Thanks,

I've looking for sth but I didn't found anthing where I could find the solution for my problem.


Thanks

hello, i have defined the timer in the processdefinition.xml instead of junit class.

are you trying this?

my timer never executed, i don't know better documentation about timer.

<state name="state1">
 <timer duedate="20 seconds" name="imprimirMensaje">
 <action class="cinfo.proyecto.wf.modelo.handlers.ImprimirMensajeHandler"></action>
 </timer>
 <transition to="task-node1"></transition>
 </state>

Yes, I have a process definition where I've defined a simply timer like this:

 <state name="state1">
 <transition to="end-state1"></transition>
 <event type='node-enter' >
 <create-timer name='timeout' duedate='10 seconds' repeat='yes' >
 <script>System.out.println("I reset my timer!");</script>
 </create-timer> </event> <event type='node-leave' >
 <cancel-timer name='timeout' />
 </event>
 </state>

And form a jUNIT I managed this, but It's only executed once. I don't know how it works. Because that the timer would be saved in the BD for its execution, but ... I dont know any documentation where specifies this.

NOTE: I'm using jbpm 3.2.3

I have try this but it can't work.

anything other solution?

are you using tomcat?

[rodrigorev]

rodosa, i have try your code in the jbpm-console and work!.

the timer repeat each 10 seconds but in my webapp deployed in tomcat still doesn't work.

I`m looking for documentation about the java technology that implements the jbpm's timer.

any idea?

[rodosa]

rodrigorev, you're right my timer work!! I had a configuration problem qith JBoss jBPM.


I don't know a good documentation about jbpm Timers. I've reading jbpm jdpl documentation and the spanish guide of jbpm ;) but .. in my opinion the documentation about timers is not too much.

Have you get to build a timer whose action was an action nor a script? I'm trying this but I doen't get it?

Thanks
