JbpmNode Node type with action expression does not continue

[c0upal]

I have a pagedefinition file which has 4 nodes, a START - NODE type - TASK NODE - END NODE.

The Node type transitions to the TASK node.  I can see that the flow works fine because a taskInstance row is inserted into the JBPMTASKINSTANCE table.  However when i specify an action expression on the NODE type node, The acion expresssion executes but the TASK NODE does not begin executing anymore. I don't see a row on the JBPMTASKINSTANCE getting inserted.

any ideas?

please show your processdefinition

most likely reason is that when there is no action, the default behaviour of a node is to take the default transition. If you specify an action as the node behaviour (so not on an event) you are the one to make sure a transition is taken

I tried specifying a transition but still doesn't work: Here are my snippets.

....
....
     <node name="MyNode">
          <action expression="#{mysessionBean.testAction}"></action>
          <transition to="ApproveQuote1" name="quote1"></transition>
     </node>

     <task-node name="ApproveQuote1"  end-tasks="true">
          <task name="ApproveQuote1" description="Approve Quote1">
               <assignment actor-id="bugs"/>
               <controller></controller>
          </task>
          <transition to="Update StatusD" name="deny"></transition>
          <transition to="UpdateStatusA" name="approve"></transition>
     </task-node>
....
....

     @Transition("quote1")
     public String  testAction(){
          log.info("Doing Something on the DB");
          
          return "quote1";
          
          
     }
// Tried this also but doesnt work
/*
     @Transition("quote1")
     public void  testAction(){
          log.info("Doing Something on the DB");
     }
*/
