Jbpm in JBoss

[arussel]

Hi all,

We had a bit of a problem to get Jbpm transactionnal in JBoss server and end up using the same workaround used by seam. Could anyone share its conf for a transactionnal jbpm in JBoss ?

Related JIRA:
https://jira.jboss.org/jira/browse/JBPM-1914

If the problem is real and there is no way to get transactionnal in JBPM without hooking to JTA inside the code, is the issue resolved in jbpm-4.alpha ?

it this doc still relevant:
http://docs.jboss.com/jbpm/v3.2/userguide/html/persistence.html#jtatransactions
(this part is the same as the doc included in 3.3.0.GA)

the default conf in JBoss:
jbpm-3.3.0.GA/jboss-4.2.2.GA/server/default/deploy/jbpm/jbpm-service.sar
is not using it.

yes, afaik it is, IF you are using more than one datasource AND want to bind to the JTA transactionmanager

The default installer has neither so does not use this

so the only way to get transactional is to hook the createJbpmContext on start of the transaction and call the close on transaction commit, after to have flushed the hibernate session as being done in Seam code.

Otherwise hibernate will flush once the jbpmContext is closed and so call the converter code that itself will it use the wrong configuration.

It would be nice to have it in the doc :-)

this has nothing to do with transaction ...
