Acitviti Modeler issue on Error Boundary Event

skay — Sat, 22 Nov 2014 06:50:21 GMT

An Error Boundary Event with no(null) Error Code attribute is not supported when deploying from the Explorer Workspace / after having using the Activiti Modeler.This post is reformulating my previous post I answered myself http://forums.activiti.org/content/error-boundary-event-and-modeler-bpmn-xm

So you mean the Modeler removes it?

No : the Modeler is not supporting an error boundary with errorCode=null (exception when deploying).
This MUST be supported at it is explained in #ACT-953 and means : get ANY BPMN Error thown from that node / no special code trigged.

The use case I described in my previous was

1) Using Activiti Designer (Eclipse), design a .bpmn with an error boundary / error code=NULL.
2) Deploy the .bpmn it in Activiti : deployment is OK and the process is running (OK).
3) Convet the process into editable model (workspace) / step into Activiti Modeler.
4) Do nothing (!) just save the model from Activiti Modeler.
5) Try to deploy it
=> EXCEPTION / validation error.

So the validation logic is different if you upload a .bpmn and deploy it into Activiti or if you edit it within Activiti Modeler.
According the exception, it sounds like the *parser* is different / coming from uploading .bpmn or Activiti Modeler.

I don't think the validation logic is wrong. I think the Modeler throws away the errorCode altogether, which is a bug
