    Can't start a simple loop bpmn process on jbpm-console

    liviah

      Hi,

       

      I have a simple Process:

      AsyncSleepThread-image.png

      If I try to execute this BPMN using jbpm-console i got the following output and no processinstance is created:

      bpmn_start.png

      "return loopCount >=5;   return loopCount < 5;" are contraints maintained in  last gateway.

       

      Any ideas what goes wrong?

       

      Many Thx,

      Liv

       

      Attached you will find my process defintion and my test handler. Tested with drools 5.3.0.CR1 and jbpm 5.1.1.Final on JBoss AS 5.1.

          Hi Livia, sorry I was not able to reproduce the issue.

          Here is your process opened in the jBPM web designer:

          and here is the process form opened in jBPM console (process form was created via the web designer).

          Can you share the ftl form you are using for your tests?

            Hi Tihomir,

             

            many thx for your answer.

            I don't use a form. Variable loopCount are created with value 1, but it seems this is currently not supported(?):

            Now I use a script task to initialize loopCount:

            But its still not possible  to start this bpmn.

             

            Greetings,

            Liv

              Hi,

               

              one good news and one bad news.

              The good news is: Now I can start my process. I added a simple form, contains only a submit button , and reload everthing. Now it starts.

               

              bad news:

              I run into an NullPoineterException:

              Thin NPE only occurs if I use a asynchr. behavior. Asynchr. means manager.completeWorkItem is not called by WorkItemHandler, another Thread calls manager.completeWorkItem .

               

              Some ideas?

               

              Many thanks,
