    Query regarding forking

      Hi,
      Created a workflow definition having fork node..
      Check the XML at the end of the message....

      After creating the processInstance, I am calling signal in while loop.

      while (!pi.hasEnded()) {
      root.signal();
      }
      Following are the problems..

      1. The ExitHandler for "stage2" and "stage3" doesn't get executed. Where as the EntryHandler get executed properly.

      2. The "Stage2" get executed twice. Not getting why the "Stage2" get executed twice. Do I have to call "Signal" for fork child token in "while" loop?

      Waiting for reply.

      thanks
      ani

          Hi,

          You should be using token.getChildren() to access forked nodes.
          here is the working code for your sample.

          
import java.util.Iterator;
import java.util.Map;
import org.jbpm.graph.def.ProcessDefinition;
import org.jbpm.graph.exe.ProcessInstance;
import org.jbpm.graph.exe.Token;

public class ForkTest {

 public static void main(String args[]) {
 String procDef = "<process-definition name='workflow:DefaultWorkflowService_wkf_fork'>" +
 "<!-- START-STATE -->" +
 "<start-state name='start'>" +
 "<transition to='stage1'>" +
 "</transition>" +
 "</start-state>" +

 "<!-- NODES -->" +

 "<state name='stage1'>" +
 "<event type='node-enter'>" +
 "<script> System.out.println(\"this script is entering node \"+node);
 </script>"+
 "</event>" +
 "<transition to='forkstage'/>" +
 "<event type='node-leave'>" +
 "<script> System.out.println(\"this script is leaving node \"+node);
 </script>"+
 "</event>" +
 "</state>" +

 "<fork name='forkstage'>" +
 "<transition name ='first' to='stage2'/>" +
 "<transition name='second' to='stage3'/>" +
 "</fork>" +

 "<!-- NODES -->" +
 "<state name='stage2'>" +
 "<event type='node-enter'>" +
 "<script> System.out.println(\"this script is entering node \"+node);
 </script>"+
 "</event>" +
 "<transition to='joinStage'/>" +
 "<event type='node-leave'>" +
 "<script> System.out.println(\"this script is leaving node \"+node);
 </script>"+
 "</event>" +
 "</state>" +

 "<!-- NODES -->" +
 "<state name='stage3'>" +
 "<event type='node-enter'>" +
 "<script> System.out.println(\"this script is entering node \"+node);
 </script>"+
 "</event>" +
 "<transition to='joinStage'/>" +
 "<event type='node-leave'>" +
 "<script> System.out.println(\"this script is leaving node \"+node);
 </script>"+
 "</event>" +
 "</state>" +

 "<join name='joinStage'>" +
 "<event type='node-enter'>" +
 "<script> System.out.println(\"this script is entering node \"+node);
 </script>"+
 "</event>" +
 "<action event-type='join-every-enter'>" +
 "</action>" +
 "<event type='node-leave'>" +
 "<script> System.out.println(\"this script is leaving node \"+node);
 </script>"+
 "</event>" +
 "<transition to='end'/>" +
 "</join>" +

 "<end-state name='end'>" +
 "</end-state>" +

 "</process-definition>" ;

 ProcessDefinition processDefinition = ProcessDefinition.parseXmlString(procDef);
 ProcessInstance processInstance = new ProcessInstance(processDefinition);

 Token token = processInstance.getRootToken();
 token.signal();
 token.signal();
 Map map = token.getChildren();
 Iterator itr = map.values().iterator();
 while(itr.hasNext()) {
 Token t = (Token)itr.next();
 System.out.println( "child token name " + t.getName() );
 t.signal();
 }

 }
}
