How to catch Email Task exceptions

aparraga — Mon, 12 Mar 2012 12:44:39 GMT

I have a process that sends 10 emails in a loop with the email task. If the email task raises an exception for whatever reason (let say, because of a malformed email), the process ends. I want the process catch the exception and continue with the next email.Does anybody know how to do that?Thank you

Hi,

You could write your own e-mail service task. Otherwise you'll have to raise a JIRA issue to implement this functionality in the Activiti email task.

Best regards,

This is not implemented in Activiti, however you can support this usecase by adding a single JavaDelegate that executes the loop and does a try/catch and sends the emails…

If you want to model the loop inside the process, create a multi-instance service-task with a Java-delegate that sends the mail, doing a try-catch around it to catch any errors and stop them from going up the stack…

The recent thread http://forums.activiti.org/content/email-task-exceptions is related to your question.
There the activiti mail task is altered in such a way to not throw exceptions.
