timer in ear: nothing happens

[parszab]

Hi!

I've seen quite a few enties about this, but none gave me a solution. I'm making an ear, with jbpm (3.3.1). The ear has the jbpm-enterprise.jar as a module, all EJB-s in that deploy properly (CommandServiceBean, TimerEntityBean etc.)

I use the default jbpm.cfg.xml, no changes there. That already contains the line:

 <service name="scheduler" factory="org.jbpm.scheduler.db.DbSchedulerServiceFactory" />

My timers are configured like this in the process definition:

<create-timer duedate='10 seconds' transition='end' />

And nothing happens! :( Nothing triggers the timers. The actions are created and can be found in the DB, though.

Could someone please help me out: how can I make the scheduler service start, so my timers run properly?

Thanks a lot!
PSz

It's in the docs: http://docs.jboss.org/jbpm/v3.2/userguide/html_single/#d0e140

Thanks a lot! I missed that unfortunately!

In my experiments, though I tried to set up the environment with EntityScheduler:

 <service name="scheduler" factory="org.jbpm.scheduler.ejbtimer.EntitySchedulerServiceFactory" />

It seems to work: I get an exception ("Transaction is not active: tx=TransactionImple < ac") -- but the timers are created and run properly.

I beleive it is because the CMT transactions don't get propagated to the TimerEntity bean somehow when the timers are created. One issue is that the timers don't get deleted this way -- at least that is, what the log says:
