Hi,

I deployed your process, but I can't figure out what your problem is.
If I use an amount of 90 and a msisdn of 0123456789 the process finishes as expected.
If I use an amount of 110 and a msisdn of 0123456789 I get another user task in my list.
All can be explained by the implementation.
So maybe you can explain in more detail what the problem is and how I can reproduce it.

Best regards,

With kind regards,

Hi,

Then I also get the user task again, just as expected.
So what's the problem?

Hi,

Very strange!
For your information, i am using Activiti 5.7. I have deployed the same process as you and i used 50 as amount and 055668871 as msisdn and then Activiti explorer2 keeps looping and nothing happened 😕

Hi,

That's strange indeed. Can you add some additional logging to your process to see what's going on?

Best regards,

Hi,

I have found what was going wrong.
The called activity must make a reference to the error end event like this :


<error id="[b]myError[/b]" errorCode="error123" />
<process id ….
….
    <endEvent id="endevent2" name="ErrorEnd">
      <errorEventDefinition errorRef="[b]myError[/b]"></errorEventDefinition>
    </endEvent>

And the calling process must add the same error code to the boundary error event :


    <boundaryEvent id="boundaryerror1" name="" attachedToRef="callactivity1">
      <errorEventDefinition errorRef="[b]error123[/b]"></errorEventDefinition>
    </boundaryEvent>

But one more thing to mention here, is that Eclipse activiti plugin does not add automatically "<error id="myError" errorCode="error123" />" to the xxxx.bpmn20.xml generated code.

Hi,

This is not right. It's perfectly fine to have a errorRef="123" in the call activity boundary error event and an errorRef="123" in the error end event.
You don't need the error element to make this work. So the Designer only generates the errorRef="123" alternative.
