RuntimeException when call Activiti exist

Check the BPMN error event mechanism. Regular Java exceptions have no meaning in bpmn context.

Thanks!
How come runtime exception gets propagated to caller (test) when the exception is thrown form the first 'Service Task 1' , i.e. the task before the call activiti task.

thanks,
bapu

Because the process is driven (executed) by the callign thread, and it gets the exceptions (after they are handled internally) as immediate feedback. So when no exceptions occur when calling, you can be sure the process ran successfully until the next wait-state/process-end or async activity.
