Error Listener ?

Hello, I have a system in which BPM scripts may be added by external users and are likely to throw technical exceptions (invalid scriptTask for instance). I understood that if RuntimeService.startProcessInstanceById (for instance) fails and throws an exception, the Activiti transaction is rolled bac

Can you catch exception and fire some kind of event?

Hi Martin,

Thanks for your reply. You mean the exception in the scriptTask or other activity ? Unfortunately not, since scripts are written by external partners. In addition, we may have exception elsewhere, for instance if a conditionExpression contains an unknown variable, a org.activiti.engine.impl.javax.el.PropertyNotFoundException is raised and the whole script fails.
In such a case, I would like to be able to retrieve a few process variables and the list of executed activities so that I am able, for instance, to find out how far the Activiti script went and rollback external non-transactional resources.

Thanks,

Thomas
