Hi Britt,
Thanks for your reply. It seems the 3.01 version has no support yet for
tracking multiple sub processes. The subprocess only works for 1, but not many.
I tried to look at some facilties in the code but the super process in the sub
process instance refers only to one parent. I also tried looking at the
module instances, but it seems I don't know how to use it. Please check my
code below, there are some i did a somebit of a hack, not pretty though but it
seems to work.
<process-definition name="hire-process">
|
| <start-state name="start-hire">
| <transition to="hire-state"/>
| </start-state>
|
| <state name="hire-state">
| <transition name="dummy" to="hire-state"/>
| <transition name="close" to="stop-hiring"/>
| <transition name="add-candidate" to="add-candidates"/>
| </state>
|
| <node name="add-candidates">
| <event type="node-enter">
| <action name="create-candidate-process"
class="org.jbpm.CreateSubProcess">
|
<subprocessname>candidate-process</subprocessname>
| </action>
| </event>
| <transition to="hire-state"/>
| </node>
|
| <process-state name="candidate-process">
| <sub-process name="candidate-process"/>
| </process-state>
|
| <node name="stop-hiring">
| <event type="node-enter">
| <action name="kill-subprocess"
class="org.jbpm.SubProcessKiller" />
| </event>
| <transition to="end-process"/>
| </node>
|
| <end-state name="end-process"/>
|
| </process-definition>
The purpose of the dummy transition is to avoid accidental signalling of this
state. I need to specify the transition in this state whether close or add
another candidate. So I just get a process, add an "add-candidate" transition
and off it goes creating the sub process.
I cant use the normal subprocess definition bec. it only continues when i have
finished the process. so I did a little bit of hack here, i dont think this is
the recommended way to use a subprocess.
| public class CreateSubProcess implements ActionHandler {
|
| String subprocessname;
|
| public void execute(ExecutionContext executionContext) throws Exception
{
| ProcessState node =
(ProcessState)executionContext.getProcessDefinition().findNode( subprocessname
);
| if( node == null )
| throw new Exception(subprocessname + " does not exist!
");
| ProcessInstance subProcess =
node.getSubProcessDefinition().createProcessInstance();
| ModuleInstance module = new ModuleInstance();
| module.setProcessInstance( subProcess );
| executionContext.getProcessInstance().addInstance( module );
| subProcess.signal();
| System.out.println("EXITING THE PROCESS NOW...");
| }
|
| }
Tried to use the module instance. But it seems it does not work as I thought it
would, maybe I'm not using it correctly. In the code below the process instance
in the module referred to the parent process instance not the sub process.
| public class SubProcessKiller implements ActionHandler {
|
| public void execute(ExecutionContext executionContext) throws Exception
{
| System.out.println( "START THE STOPPING PROCESS...");
| int i = 0;
| Map m = executionContext.getProcessInstance().getInstances();
| Iterator iter = m.values().iterator();
| while( iter.hasNext() ) {
| System.out.println( "looping token->");
| ModuleInstance mod = (ModuleInstance)iter.next();
| ProcessInstance sb = mod.getProcessInstance();
| sb.end();
| System.out.println( "proc name " +
sb.getProcessDefinition().getName() );
| System.out.println( "proc id is " + sb.getId() );
| System.out.println("has ended? " + sb.hasEnded() );
|
System.out.println(sb.getRootToken().getNode().getName());
| i++;
| }
| ProcessInstance p;
|
| System.out.println( "SUBPROCESSES CLEANED UP. NO. OF PROCESS
CLOSED " + i );
| }
|
| }
|
Anyway, everything seemed to work EXCEPT for the module instance. How do I
track sub processes wihtout going to extraordinary means? Any suggestions?
Thanks again.
Regards,
Elmo
