Hi Mathieu,

JobExecutor has set wait time to 5s. Try to decrease it. It can affect activiti performance. Does it really make sense to execute job each 2 sec?

Regards
Martin

Hi Mathieu
You are right. The minimum wait time for job executor to peek the next job is 5 seconds. That is the maximum resolution with the default job executor.
If you need a finer grained resolution, you can extend the DefaultJobExecutor class, set its waitTimeInMillis property to whatever you want and inject it in process configuration.
I hope it helps you.

You should not set it too low as it will increase overheads.

Hi Martin, Smirzai,

Thanks for the tip, it fixed my issue perfectly fine.

@Martin : In my application context, I must test the context every 2/3 seconds so I have no other choice.

Thanks again,
Regards,
Mathieu
