    jBPM issue using Persistence and fireUntilHalt

    bezudar

      Hi,

      I am trying to use the jBPM example for persisting the data and trying to use another thread for rule processing using

      ksession.fireUntilHalt();
      

      but I am encountering the following exception.

      The same is working fine without persistence and another test is running fine with persistence but there i am calling

      kession.fireAllRules();
      

      explicitly. I have made my model classes serializable.

       

      The code used is :

      public void reactiveProcessAndRulesTest() throws InterruptedException {
              KnowledgeBuilder kbuilder = KnowledgeBuilderFactory
                      .newKnowledgeBuilder();
              kbuilder.add(new ClassPathResource("EmergencyServiceSimple.bpmn"),
                      ResourceType.BPMN2);
              kbuilder.add(new ClassPathResource("SelectEmergencyVehicleSimple.drl"),
                      ResourceType.DRL);
              KnowledgeBuilderErrors errors = kbuilder.getErrors();
              if (errors.size() > 0) {
                  for (KnowledgeBuilderError error : errors) {
                      System.out.println(error.getMessage());
      
                  }
                  return;
              }
      
              KnowledgeBase kbase = KnowledgeBaseFactory.newKnowledgeBase();
              kbase.addKnowledgePackages(kbuilder.getKnowledgePackages());
      
              EntityManagerFactory emf = Persistence
                      .createEntityManagerFactory("org.jbpm.task");
              Environment env = KnowledgeBaseFactory.newEnvironment();
              env.set(EnvironmentName.ENTITY_MANAGER_FACTORY, emf);
      
              final StatefulKnowledgeSession ksession = JPAKnowledgeService
                      .newStatefulKnowledgeSession(kbase, null, env);
      //         ksession = kbase.newStatefulKnowledgeSession();
      
              // Setting the process engine and the rule engine in reactive mode
              // This will cause that if a rule is activated, the rule will fire
              // without waiting
              // the user to call the fireAllRules() method.
              
      
              MyHumanChangingValuesSimulatorWorkItemHandler humanActivitiesSimHandler = new MyHumanChangingValuesSimulatorWorkItemHandler();
              ksession.getWorkItemManager().registerWorkItemHandler("Human Task",
                      humanActivitiesSimHandler);
      
              KnowledgeRuntimeLoggerFactory.newConsoleLogger(ksession);
      
              Emergency emergency = new Emergency("555-1234");
              // Run with Heart Attack and check the output. An Ambulance must appear
              // in the report
              // emergency.setType("Heart Attack");
              // Run with Fire and check the output. A FireTruck must appear in the
              // report
              emergency.setType("Fire");
              Map<String, Object> parameters = new HashMap<String, Object>();
              parameters.put("emergency", emergency);
      
              WorkflowProcessInstance process = (WorkflowProcessInstance) ksession
                      .startProcess(
                              "com.wordpress.salaboy.bpmn2.SimpleEmergencyService",
                              parameters);
              // My Emergency and My Process are both inserted as Facts / Truths in my
              // Knowledge Session
              // Now Emergency and the Process Instance can be used by the inference
              // engine
              ksession.insert(emergency);
              ksession.insert(process);
              
              new Thread(new Runnable() {
      
                  public void run() {
                      
                      ksession.fireUntilHalt();
                  }
              }).start();
      
              // Is the Process still Active?
              Assert.assertEquals(ProcessInstance.STATE_ACTIVE, process.getState());
              // Is there a running node instance?
              Assert.assertEquals(1, process.getNodeInstances().size());
              // Is the process stopped in the "Ask for Emergency Information"
              // activity?
              Assert.assertEquals("Ask for Emergency Information", process
                      .getNodeInstances().iterator().next().getNodeName());
              // Lets check the value of the emergency.getRevision(), it should be 1
              Assert.assertEquals(1,
                      ((Emergency) process.getVariable("emergency")).getRevision());
      
              System.out.println("Completing the first Activity");
              // Complete the first human activity
              humanActivitiesSimHandler.completeWorkItem();
      
              // I need to sleep for a little while, because the other thread can be
              // executing some activated rules
              Thread.sleep(1000);
      
              // Lets check the value of the vehicle variable it should be a Fire
              // Truck => Fire

              // Complete the second human activity
              humanActivitiesSimHandler.completeWorkItem();
      
              // Is the process completed?
              Assert.assertEquals(ProcessInstance.STATE_COMPLETED, process.getState());
          }
      
      
      

       

      My Full code is in this thread : http://community.jboss.org/message/625081

       

      Any help would be appreciated.

       

      I also see very wierd behaviour happening when running the program in Debug mode in eclipse and run mode.
