JTATransaction Error

[faite]

We have a action that fork a process 40,000 times, that works well, but the next activity is a sub-process and for some reason we got the next error:

Could you help me with some ideas to fix this problem?
Thanks

what does the actionhandler do exactly?

and 40.000 times??? wow... That does not sound like workflow

[faite]

We are trying to use jbpm to manage file processing.
1.- the flow detect that there is a new file.
2.- create a process to manage the file, in an action read the file and create a child process for each row in the file.
3.- the father process goes to a waiting state and the child to a sub-process to be processed.
4.- when all the childs come back from the sub-process, the father process goes to end.

This implementation works well with small number of child processes(10, 100, 1000).
I think the problem is when jbpm create the sub-process.

Next is the code that I am using to fork the main process

 public static ExecutionContext forkToken(ExecutionContext executionContext, String tokenName) throws Exception {
 final Token rootToken = executionContext.getToken();
 final Token newToken = new Token( rootToken, tokenName );

 newToken.setTerminationImplicit( true );
 executionContext.getJbpmContext().getSession().save( newToken );

 ExecutionContext newExecutionContext = new ExecutionContext( newToken );

 return newExecutionContext;
 }

Thanks for your help!!!

Your fork 40,000 times will run in one transaction unless you make the subprocess run asynchronously.


Thus, I would imagine that your transaction is timing out to cause this exception... as 40000 processes would take a lot of time to spin up.

When the transaction times out, the next would say, wait there is no transaction active!
