PROCESS_CANCELLED event not sent for parent process when call activiti subprocess encounters terminate all end event

We have a top level process which uses a <callActivity> element to start a subprocess.One of the routes through the subprocess ends with a terminateAll end event. This is correctly cancelling both the sub process and parent process.However, we have an ActivitiEventListener which logs each proc

Can you post an example xml to clarify? Are we talking about an embedded subprocess or a call activity here?

Hi,
Yes, this is using call activiti.

Example processes:

Jim _ You're completely right. I consider this a bug. See my post... and my own answer / solution to the problem. Not pretty, bit of a hurdle, but it works. In our case, we are concerned with boundary events that cancel the Call Activity as well as the parent process being terminated. Neither of those occurrences fire the PROCESS_CANCELLED listener point.
