How to start jbpm business process from an async quartz meth

[pietermartin]

Hi,

I have tried calling

package com.yannitech.virgin.bpm.session;

import java.util.Date;

import org.jboss.seam.ScopeType;
import org.jboss.seam.annotations.Logger;
import org.jboss.seam.annotations.Name;
import org.jboss.seam.annotations.Scope;
import org.jboss.seam.annotations.Transactional;
import org.jboss.seam.annotations.async.Asynchronous;
import org.jboss.seam.annotations.async.Expiration;
import org.jboss.seam.annotations.async.FinalExpiration;
import org.jboss.seam.annotations.async.IntervalDuration;
import org.jboss.seam.annotations.bpm.CreateProcess;
import org.jboss.seam.async.QuartzTriggerHandle;
import org.jboss.seam.log.Log;

@Name("pollPosForOBF")
@Scope(ScopeType.CONVERSATION)
public class PollPosForOBF {

 @Logger
 Log log;

 @Asynchronous
 @Transactional
 @CreateProcess(definition="OBFProcess")
 public QuartzTriggerHandle poll(@Expiration
 Date when, @IntervalDuration
 Long interval, @FinalExpiration
 Date endDate) {
 log.info("Async poll happening ja wol");
 return null;
 }

}

The code executes but the a instance of the business process is not created.

What is the correct way to start a jbpm business process from an async process?

Thanks
Pieter

Solved,

@Name("pollPosForOBF")
@Scope(ScopeType.CONVERSATION)
public class PollPosForOBF {

 @Logger
 Log log;

 @In(create=true)
 private OBFProcessAction oBFProcessAction;

 @Asynchronous
 @Transactional
 public QuartzTriggerHandle poll(@Expiration
 Date when, @IntervalDuration
 Long interval, @FinalExpiration
 Date endDate) {
 log.info("Async poll happening ja wol");
 oBFProcessAction.startOBFBusinessProcess();
 return null;
 }
}

@Name("oBFProcessAction")
public class OBFProcessAction {

 @Logger Log log;

 @Out(scope=ScopeType.BUSINESS_PROCESS, required=false)
 String orderId;

 @CreateProcess(definition="OBFProcess")
 public void startOBFBusinessProcess() {
 log.info("startPolling");
 orderId = new UID().toString();
 }
}

Seams like delegating @CreateProcess made it work, not sure why tho.

Cheers
