Seam JBPM @CreateProcess Question

[vamsi_poondla]

I have a Seam Component with three methods with @CreateProcess annotation

I also have a method initiateProcess() in the same class.

My idea is to have a switch statement in initiateProcess() and start the process based on the user choice like below.

public void inititateProcess(){
 System.out.println("choice is - " + choice);
 switch (choice) {
 case 1:
 createProcess1();
 break;
 case 2:
 createProcess2();
 break;
 case 3:
 createProcess3();
 break;
 default:
 break;
 }

In my JSF code, if I invoke this initiateProcess, the JBPM process is not kicking off

This is not working

<h:commandButton value="Start Process" action="#{startProcess.inititateProcess}" />

But if I call one of the processes directly like below, it is working fine.

<h:commandButton value="Start Process" action="#{startProcess.createProcess1}" />

Anything I am missing here? Please help.

thanks

EJB3 interceptors do not run on method calls to "this". Only on calls from another object.

What I can do for you is promote the BusinessProcessInterceptor.createProcess() method to a public API, so you can call it directly.

Add a feature request to JIRA.

Anyway I am going ahead with another seam component ProcessInitiator with the target seam component injected (one which has process1, process2 etc).

So, I got a little facade which enhanced the design.
