    JBPM Timers behaviour

    biraneto

      What is the bahaviour for jbpm timers in a low level? Does reaching the end event in the workflow clears the timers?

      I also ask this because I have a workflow that has a start timer (with a cycle type and 1 min period) leading to an end event. I was expecting it to start every minute but it only do so while the end event is not reached (if I put some more flows and gateways that block the end from being reached). Is that expected behaviour or should timers fire indefinetely for such a workflow?

          Adding some more info on the subject. It appears the problem happens with persistence enabled only. Is this a bug? Should I code something else when using persistence for timers to work properly?

           

          I'm using version 5.3.

          The workflow is an start event with timer event definition with a cycle of 1 second... going to a script system out hello world and then to an end event.

           

          Executing with JPA.... loading ksession with JPAKnowledgeService.loadStatefulKnowledgeSession( sessionId, kbase, null, env ).startProcess("testTimer");

           

          The execution is shown below

          163745 [http-8080-1] WARN bitronix.tm.twopc.Preparer - executing transaction with 0 enlisted resource
