jBPM 4.4 end Process Instance

[pushpak1981]

I am trying to end a Process Instance from Decision Handler using executionService.endProcessInstance. But i get the following Error. The same code works if i try to end the Process instance from Java Activity.

Is there anything i need to take care in case of decision handler ?

I think it is not possible to end the process in a decision handler, cause a decision is not a stable state in process. So after the process execute the code in decision, the process try to take a transition and throw the exception while check if the process is still active.

Please note that a process should always end in an end activity.

Maybe you can show your process. I created processes with similar behavior too. In my case I ended concurrent processes in a java activity and synchronzied with a join activty.
