Jbpm process cannot resolve expression
I have a jbpm process that is initiated when a user register's to use the system. The purpose of the process is to wait a set period of time and then delete the user from the system if the user has not validated the account.
My process definition is:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<process-definition xmlns="" name="UserRegistration">
<start-state name="start">
<transition to="userPending"></transition>
</start-state>
<state name="userPending">
<timer duedate="1 minutes" name="waitForExpiry" transition="expired">
<action></action>
</timer>
<transition to="deletePendingUser" name="expired"></transition>
</state>
<node name="deletePendingUser">
<action expression="#{registrationExpiry.deleteExpiredUser}"></action>
<transition to="end" name="finished"></transition>
</node>
<end-state name="end"></end-state>
</process-definition>This is the seam component that I am trying to use.
@Name("registrationExpiry")
@Stateless
public class RegistrationExpiryAction implements RegistrationExpiry {
@In(value="registeredUserId", scope=ScopeType.BUSINESS_PROCESS, required=false)
@Out(value="registeredUserId", scope=ScopeType.BUSINESS_PROCESS, required=false)
private Integer registeredUserId;
@PersistenceContext
EntityManager em;
public void deleteExpiredUser() {
em.createNamedQuery(User.DELETE_EXPIRED_USER)
.setParameter("userId", registeredUserId)
.executeUpdate();
}
}When the user successfully registers the process is being started and an instance is being created successfully. When the timer expires the process transitions to the deletePendingUser node and then then the following error is logged:
21:14:08,169 ERROR [GraphElement] action threw exception: couldn't evaluate expression '#{registrationExpiry.deleteExpiredUser}'

My environment is as follows:
- Seam 2.2.0.GA
- JBoss AS 5.1.0.GA
- Jbpm 3.3 (I have tried versions 3.2.5, 3.2.6 as well).
I have tried a number of different things, such as using an action (this leads to the an error with external managed transaction that I have seen documented elsewhere). I originally also had a local datasource before I tried the xa-datasource.
I would be grateful if anyone can offer some help in helping me how to achieve what I am trying to do. Am I doing this correct way, etc?
