I would like to ensure that a script task doesn't run more than 1 second, so i put the following boundary event :</SPAN><BR /><BR /><PRE class="language-none line-numbers"><CODE>&lt;boundaryEvent attachedToRef="telnetScript" cancelActivity="true" id="timer"&gt;<BR />&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &lt;timerEventDefinition id="_theTimer"&gt;<BR />&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &lt;timeDuration id="_theTimerDuration" xsi:type="tFormalExpression"&gt;PT1S&lt;/timeDuration&gt;<BR />&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &lt;/timerEventDefinition&gt;<BR />&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &lt;/boundaryEvent&gt;<BR /><SPAN class="line-numbers-rows"><SPAN>‍</SPAN><SPAN>‍</SPAN><SPAN>‍</SPAN><SPAN>‍</SPAN><SPAN>‍</SPAN><SPAN>‍</SPAN></SPAN></CODE></PRE><BR /><SPAN>The telnetScript sends a telnet request to a fake server. This server answers after 5 seconds, so the timer should normally fires before the server answer, but it fires after ! oO</SPAN><BR /><SPAN>Moreover, when it fires, the process instance is over (because the telnet answer has been received), so I got a NullPointerException…</SPAN><BR /><BR /><SPAN>It seems that the timer can't fire when the script is executing a blocking instruction. Is it a bug ?</SPAN><BR /><SPAN>If I put a "while(true);" in the script task, the timer never fires.</SPAN></BODY></HTML> Thu, 22 Sep 2011 08:28:02 GMT mathiasd 2011-09-22T08:28:02Z Boundary timer event on script task https://connect.hyland.com/t5/alfresco-archive/boundary-timer-event-on-script-task/m-p/74847#M49095 Hi,Does the boundary timer event work when attached to a script task ?
