JBPM Context in Startup servlet

[zahidmaqbool]

Hi all, I have a requirement where I want a backgroung running service using quartz to perform all jbpm state operations. i.e. in which the system would be interacting with an external system. Now my question is this if i run this service manually from my application after starting the server it works perfect. But if i try to get it done through a startup servlet I am unable to get the JBPM context. If any one can help me out on this, It would be great.

Errors? Code? now it is just guessing for us and we are not good at that ;-)

public class Test 
{

   @In JbpmContext jbpmContext;
   public void testQuartz() 
   {
        System.out.println("TRYING TO Execute TEST JOB");
        JobDetail jobDetail = new JobDetail("testJob", null,                

TestJob.class);
    
                jbpmContext.loadProcessInstance(1l);
                jobDetail.getJobDataMap().put("jbpmContext", jbpmContext);
                
                SimpleTrigger trigger = new SimpleTrigger("trigger1", "group1");
                trigger.setRepeatCount(SimpleTrigger.REPEAT_INDEFINITELY);
                trigger.setRepeatInterval(30L * 1000L);
                try 
                {
                        Scheduler sched = StdSchedulerFactory.getDefaultScheduler();
                        //sched.addGlobalJobListener(new Listener());
                        sched.scheduleJob(jobDetail, trigger);
                        sched.start();
                        System.out.println(trigger.getNextFireTime());
                }
                catch (Exception e) 
                {
                        e.printStackTrace();
                }
}

}

When I load processInstance, it throws an error on JBPM Context  as Null

O.k. I got it working.

I used the @Observer annotation to get it done,  of course I took help from... cant remember the name, but someone in this forum  :))

Also the Jbpm context is only available in a transaction.

So here is my small piece of code which did the job. This is without  quartz so that the size doesn't increases.

@Transactional
@Name("startupTesting")
public class StartupTesting {

     @Logger
     private Log log;     
     
     @In JbpmContext jbpmContext;


     /**
      * This is called by seam after initialization
      * has finished.
      */
     @Observer("org.jboss.seam.postInitialization")
     public void observe() 
     {
          try
          {
               log.info("Trying to load Test Jbpm Process Instance");
               org.jbpm.graph.exe.ProcessInstance pi = jbpmContext.loadProcessInstance(60787l);
               
               System.out.println(pi.getKey()+" ----- "+pi.getStart());
          }
          catch(Exception e)
          {
               e.printStackTrace();
               log.info("Operation Failed");
          }
          log.info("About to load system properties");

     }
}
