signalEventReceived() does nothing

filajupiter — Tue, 26 Jan 2016 16:46:07 GMT

My process consists of an eventBasedGateway followed by 3 intermediateCatchEvent.The signals are process instance scoped.By calling signalEventReceived with a correct signal name and executionId (no exception raised), I'm expecting the process to continue flowing.However, nothing happens. No changes

That sounds like it should do as you describe. Can you post the process definition XML so we can reproduce.

Yes. I have found out that it is by design for process scoped signals. I changed to global signals and it works.

Hello. Can you please confirm and explain why signalEventReceived() is supposed to work only for global scoped signals? I can't see logic in it, and i was relying on this functionality. I can't see why if i'm triggering signal by execution id it is supposed to be global. I have a signalCatchingEvent in my process, which is successfully triggered by throwing signals inside the process. Obviously, i want them to target only this particular process. And now i want to add the posibility to simulate this situation from outside. I was sure that signaling particular execution through signalEventReceived() is exaclty what i need.

Or am i missing something?

Not sure I'm following … RuntimeService.signalEventReceived(String signalName, String executionId); does exactly that.
