Ok... I worked around the issue by letting a Java component do all the work. This ensures that the flowscript is blocked until all files have been generated.

[SOLVED] I found a nice article on stackoverflow showing how to create my own implementation in flowscript. I will of course first need to thoroughly test it but it looks promising so far ;-) var setTimeout, clearTimeout, setInterval, clearInterval; (function () { var timer = new java.util.Timer(); var counter = 1; var ids = {}; setTimeout = function (fn,delay) { var id = counter++; ids[id] = new JavaAdapter(java.util.TimerTask,{run: fn}); timer.schedule(ids[id],delay); return id; } clearTimeout = function (id) { ids[id].cancel(); timer.purge(); delete ids[id]; } setInterval = function (fn,delay) { var id = counter++; ids[id] = new JavaAdapter(java.util.TimerTask,{run: fn}); timer.schedule(ids[id],delay,delay); return id; } clearInterval = clearTimeout; })(); From: Robby Pelssers [mailto:robby.pelss...@nxp.com] Sent: Thursday, May 24, 2012 2:56 PM To: dev@cocoon.apache.org Subject: does flowscript also support sht like setTimeout and setInterval ?? Hi guys, I was bulk processing DITA maps and topics from flowscript and noticed that following code is executed parallel. So basically the cocoon.processPipelineTo returns immediately so it seems. This results in max sessions reached to XMLDb and I run into an exception. Just checking what is best way to put some delay in the execution. function generateValuePropositions() { var id_collection = Collection.fromArray(getJson('getCommaSeparatedBasicTypeIds')); print('Starting generation of ' + id_collection.getLength() + ' value propositions!!'); id_collection.forEach( /** we write the map and topics for each id **/ function(id){ cocoon.processPipelineTo("write-map-and-topics/" + id, null, new Packages.java.io.ByteArrayOutputStream()); } ); } Kind regards, Robby
