After struggling for a few days with asynchronous continuations with the 
following configuration:

Weblogic 10.3
jBPM 3.3.1.GA

we could finally make them work.

Although we followed configuration instructions from the manual thoroughly, 
things didn't work as expected. The most weird thing was that the very same 
configuration worked fine in JBoss 4.2.3.GA. We finally detected that the 
problem was that the messages sent to JobListenerBean were not being commited. 
The reason for this is that JBoss and Weblogic handle Non-transacted JMS 
sessions within a JTA transaction just in the opposite way. 

For details please read:

Weblogic
 http://e-docs.bea.com/wls/docs103/jms/trans.html#wp1025537

and 

JBoss
http://www.odi.ch/prog/jms-tx.php

Unfortunately the kind of session (transacted vs. non-transacted) that jBPM 
uses is not configurable: it is hardcoded in JmsMessageService.java


  |     /* 
  |      * If the connection supports XA, the session will always take part in 
the global transaction.
  |      * Otherwise the first parameter specifies whether message productions 
and consumptions 
  |      * are part of a single transaction (TRUE) or performed immediately 
(FALSE).
  |      * Messages are never meant to be received before the database 
transaction commits,
  |      * hence the transacted is preferable.
  |      */
  |     session = connection.createSession(true, Session.SESSION_TRANSACTED);
  | 

so we had to change that line to:



  | session = connection.createSession(false, Session.AUTO_ACKNOWLEDGE) ;
  | 

Let me emphasize that the change in the first parameter value (true -> false) 
is NOT meant to achieve different behaviors in both application servers. It's 
just that they both interpret it in the opposite way. (If you don't trust me 
read the above links :-) )

Hope that this can save other people's time ;-)

BTW: I don't know if future releases of jBPM are going to deal with 
asynchronous continuations in the same way, but if they are, it could be good 
idea to make this behavior configurable.

Best regards,

                     Claudio
