Exception on terminating Call Activities when ProcessRuntime-Strategy is 'PerProcessInstance'

[thomas_fielenbach]

Hi all,

We are working on a process that orchestrates multiple call activities. While the master process is executed a rollback can be requested from an external service.

The process reacts on this by using an event-based subprocess that is started by a message-receive-event. The rollback is processed and the master and the running call activitiy are finished.

Attached is a picture to clarify the use case.

It can be assumed that the master-process and the call-activities are in a state where it is possible to process incoming messages.

Using the flag independent='false' and using ProcessRuntime-Strategy 'Singleton' everything works fine (rollback is processed, master and the call-activity are terminated).

Using the flag independent='false' and using ProcessRuntime-Strategy 'PerProcessInstance' the rollback succeeds but afterwards an exception is thrown. Neither the master nor the call-activity is terminated:

We are using jboss eap 6.1 and jbpm 6.1.0.CR2.

It would be great to get some input.

this has already been fixed as part of jira JBPM-4422 and will be included in 6.2 version (beta 2 of 6.2 should be out within few days).
