failedJobRetryTimeCycle for intermediateCatchEvent

Since Activiti 5.16 the number of retries and the retry-wait-time can be configured like posted here:https://app.camunda.com/confluence/display/foxUserGuide/Custom+Job+Retry+Strategy(which was linked from http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/ACT-1046?focusedCommentId=351326&page=com.atlassian.jira.pl

Hi Andreas,

That extension element is meant to be used for service tasks. What would the use case of adding this failedJobRetryTimeCycle to an intermediate catch event?

Best regards,

Hi Tijs

For example, in my business-process I wait with an intermediate-catch-event a given amount of time. Afterwards the process continues with further gates and service-tasks. Each gate (they have complex logic with db-lookups, etc) and service-task (webservice-calls) can fail. So all this is executed in the job-context of the intermediate-catch-event. I would like to have also here a configurable retry-policy.
In general I think, everywhere where jobs are executed, there should be a configurable retry-policy. I like the approach with the extension-element, but it should be supported consistently "everywhere".

Regards
Andreas
