Hi cirerenat,

Activiti uses the caller thread for doing its work. That means that if an exception occurs while executing
runtimeService.startProcessInstanceByKey(processId,vars);the method witll throw that exception.

So you can write code like:

try {
   runtimeService.startProcessInstanceByKey(processId,vars);
}catch(ActivitiException e) {
  // do sth about it
}

This is for processing of sync activities. All background work is not performed in the caller thread but by the job executor.
Exceptions for that can be retrieved using the ManagementService, as you already found out.

Read the userguide: http://activiti.org/userguide/index.html#N10562

Thanks Daniel,
Do I have to convert all of my ServiceTask and CallActivity task to asynchronous though ?
Because in my bpmn flow they are not, and in the exception handler when I try to use the management service I get an empty list for the below call.


List<Job> jobs = managementService.createJobQuery().list();
