I am trying to test JBPM fonction and try this scenario:
post a task to a user
if the task is not done after some times
post a new task to the manager

I tried this:

<task-node name="task_to_user">

 <task name="something a user should do" swimlane="user">
 <event type='task-create'>
 <script>
 System.out.println( "-----------> Task [task_to_user] is created" );
 </script>
 </event>
 </task>

 <timer name="countdown"
 duedate="10 seconds"
 transition="tr_task_manager" >
 <script>
 System.out.println("----------> Timer expires ........ ");
 </script>
 </timer>

 <transition name="tr_user_to_end" to="end_process">
 <script>
 System.out.println( "-----------> transition [tr_user_to_end]" );
 </script>
 </transition>

 <transition name="tr_task_manager" to="task_to_manager">
 <script>
 System.out.println( "-----------> transition [tr_task_manager]" );
 </script>
 </transition>

</task-node>

My question is:

Should I have to cancel the task when I am living the task-node in case the timer expires ?

Because it seems that the task is still there after leaving a task-node.
