Activiti 5.11 - Cannot set boundaryEvent on subprocess

pitagoras — Thu, 10 Jan 2013 05:59:22 GMT

Hi,I have the following (fragment): <subProcess id="fulfillServices" name="Confirm Services"> …. <boundaryEvent id="boundarysignal3" name="Signal" attachedToRef="fulfillServices" cancelActivity="true"> <signalEventDefinition></signalEventDefinition&

Not sure about this, my guess: since the boundary-event is part of the MAIN process and attached to the subprocess, it should be declared in the main-process XML-element instead of the subprocess-element…

Thank you for you answer, but I don´t quite follow you. The boundary event is part of the subprocess (seen as an activity). I attach a picture.
The error, as I understand it, complains about the activity referenced by the boundary event, in this case, the "fullfillServices" subprocess.

A boundary-event is attached TO a subprocess, but is not declare IN the subprocess. Move the <boundaryEvent ..> xml outside of the subprocess.

At least, from what I see in your fragment, the boundary-event is defined INSIDE the subprocess:


<subProcess id="fulfillServices" name="Confirm Services">
        ….
        <boundaryEvent id="boundarysignal3" name="Signal" attachedToRef="fulfillServices" cancelActivity="true">
          <signalEventDefinition></signalEventDefinition>
        </boundaryEvent>

         ….

The code is actually generated by the Designer… I will post this question in the other forum.

Great, potentially it went wrong when the boundary-event was initially dragged/created in the process, rather than on the edge. In that case, this is something that we need to avoid…
