Transition Timers Not Marking a Task as Complete

[jnlugo]

I have a timer on a transition in task A. When the timer fires in task A, the task follows the transition to the next task, B. However, task A is not considered complete when the timer fires and moves the task. So when I query for tasks for users assigned to task A, the task that is now in B is returned.

Is there a good way to mark task A as complete when the timer fires? I haven't had much luck with event listeners.

<process name="MyProcess" xmlns="http://jbpm.org/4.0/jpdl">
 <start name="start1">
 <transition name="to review" to="TaskA"/>
 </start>
 <task candidate-groups="#{status.taskAGroups}" name="TaskA">
 <transition name="forward" to="TaskB">
 <timer duedate="#{status.timeout}"/>
 </transition>
 </task>
 <task candidate-groups="#{status.taskBGroups}" name="TaskB">
 <transition name="forward" to="EndState"/>
 </task>
 <end name="Final" state="EndState"/>
</process>

There is currently a Jira issue made for this feature (and planned for 4.3)

hmm... I almost pointed to a 'lecture' document again, which in this case states to search the jira, forum, etc... but I won't since I'm in a good mood

Thanks for the replies. I'm working around the issue for now.
