    creating a sub process instance throw error:  org.jbpm.JbpmException: couldn't signal without specifying  a leaving transition : transition is null

    shashwat21

      Hi,

       

      I am getting an error in executing a sub process.Main process finishes its execution and it calls the first sub-process, when sub process reaches it's end it throws the error: org.jbpm.JbpmException: couldn't signal without specifying  a leaving transition : transition is null.

       

      Further sub processes are called but same happens at the end of the other sub processes also. I think setting the super process token in the createSubProcessInstance causing this issue. Even if i do not call createSubProcessInstance and  I create sub process instance using newProcessInstance(processName) and then if i set the super processtoken explicitly in my code i get this error, if i do not set the super process token in my code i do not get this error.

       

      Please provide views, i am getting this error again and again.

       

      Thanks,

      Mehul

          Please provide a minimal test case for your scenario, without it it is difficult to find a way to help you.

           

          BTW, please use parent forum for these types of questions.

            I have three process say P1,P2,P3. P1 is my main process which in turn calls P2 and P2 calls P3. In my case P1 executes fine and calls P2. When P2 reaches its End node i get this error. Folliwing are the process def. files for the processes.

                       ........code to extract caller data......

                        TaskInstance ti = Util.initProcess(processInst, task, values,

                        if (ti != null) {

                            Swimlane swm = ti.getTask().getSwimlane();
                            if (s != null) {

                                            assignment.split(","));
                                }

             

                                ti.end();

            I hope now you can understand.

              Seems like you use jBPM 3, unfortunately I am not expert in version 3.x so you need to wait for other guys that are good at it

                Yes, I am using jbpm 3.2.3 version.
