Interfere when Activiti persists variables map in async. Process

frauke — Fri, 26 Apr 2013 12:07:35 GMT

Hello everybody,is it possible to interfere at the moment when Activiti persists data before returning from a transaction in an asynchronus process?What I like to do is to pass some session related variables (like the user name) to the process. So that these variables are accessible AFTER the jobExe

That's a tricky requirement. I guess you could do it by overriding some of the standard Commands that are used by the job executor. The only problem is that plugging those in is hard and needs changes in the code itself.

Hi Joram,

what about the send method in JobManager? Is that the point where the job is written into the database for an async. continuation? (It calls a method named hintJobExecutor).
That would be very easy because we already have overwritten the JobManager!

Best regards

I don't think that's going to work. That method will be called when the job is created. However, the flush only happens at the end of the whole operation (in batch).

Another path might be to plug something into the TransactionContext (a transaction listener). However, I did not test this and don't know if it will actually work …
