ErrorBoundryEvent Usage Question

Hello All, We are trying to understand how the ErrorBoundryEvent works. We have created a workflow that contains a SubProcess that has an ErrorBoundryEvent attached to it. In the SubProcess we have a ScriptTask that throws an error. The error thrown from the script never makes it to the BoundryEven

It's important to understand that a boundary event cannot be used for Java exceptions.
Boundary events are meant for business exceptions, that have a clear modeling and business meaning.
With a boundary event, you clearly throw an error in a certain path of your process and catch it on the boundary of your subprocess.

If you want to handle Java exceptions, read the section 'handling exceptions' in the user guide: http://activiti.org/userguide/index.html#bpmnJavaServiceTask. If you want to mimic what you actually want, you must catch the Java exception, and continue through a path that throws the error event that is meant to be catched on the subprocess.
