Erros on Multiinstance Task

Hi,

I'm stuck with multi errors during multi instances task run.

- Wildfly server
- Activiti version : 5.21
- ManagedAsyncJobExecutor is used

The processes run are the folllowing. I need to process in parallel HTTP request + mail + wait from one side and from the other side, start a Workflow on the HTTP request to release the wait task. The request are send by a Java Delegate task that used EJB lookup.

<h1>HTTP response received before wait task block</h1>
Currently, to avoid this error, i push the response to a blocking queue and every 10 seconds, i try to fire the signal to the waiting task.

Those are quite a bit of errors

> ActivitiLockingExeption on variable instance
Looking at the diagram, that could be because the workflow in platform 1 hasn't been committed to the DB yet. Ideally, you put something like a queue in front of it, that checks if the process instance is in a correct state before continuing the wait state.

> Null pointer exception
Looking at the offending line … no idea why this could happen … Does it happen always or is it sporadically?

> EJB lookup failed despite the Managed Executor Service

How/where are you doing an EJB lookup? Using managed or not executor should not matter I believe.

> HTTP response received before wait task block

Yes, which is related to the variable error above I think. You'll need to introduce some sort of queue that receives the message and only calls the API when the process instance is ready.
In v6, we added this http://blog.mark-it-zero.com/transaction-dependent-listeners/ to solve this issue (send out the http call on transaction committed).

Thk for the reply,

> ActivitiLockingExeption on variable instance

I retrieve the execution list with this code:
<code>
List<Execution> executionList = bpmnEngine.getEngine().getRuntimeService().createExecutionQuery()
    .processInstanceId(processInstanceID)
    .activityId(taskName)
    .list();
</code>

Check if the list is empty or not. If empty, push the "processInstanceID" and the "taskName" to a queue and retry every 10 seconds.

How do i check the state ?
<code>execution.isSuspended() ??</code>

> Null pointer exception

It's sporadically but regularly

> EJB lookup failed despite the Managed Executor Service

EJB declaration, stateless or singleton:

<code>
@Stateless
@EJB(name="java:global/ProcessHistoryService", beanInterface=ProcessHistoryService.class)
public class ProcessHistoryService
</code>

or

<code>
@Startup
@Singleton
@EJB(name="java:global/SmpService", beanInterface=SmpService.class)
public class SmpService
</code>

We use EJB lookup with an Util class like this:

<code>
public static Object lookup(String name) {
        try {
            return InitialContext.doLookup("java:global/"+name);
        } catch (NamingException e) {
            throw new RuntimeException("lookup failed: java:global/"+name);
        }
    }
</code>

The result is either a "lookup failed" or "class cast exception"

My understanding of "ClasscastException" is my EJB are not load by the right class loader. It's strange, because its sporadic.
