BpmnError on TaskActivitiBehabior signal

[gastonscapusio]

Hi,

I'm using Activiti 5.13 and I've some problems catching BpmnError on signal method.
If I throw BpmnError on execute it works fine, but if I throw it on signal method the exception is propagated and not catched in the boundary error defined on the Task.

Is it posible to throw BpmnError on signal method?

This is the boundary error definition…
<blockcode>
    <serviceTask id="findWebServerIdTask" name="Find web server id" activiti:class="com.xxx.FindIdTask">
    </serviceTask>

    <boundaryEvent id="boundaryerror1" name="ErrorFindWebServer" attachedToRef="findWebServerIdTask">
      <errorEventDefinition></errorEventDefinition>
    </boundaryEvent>
</blockcode>

Regards,
Gaston

I've tried with activiti v5.15 but the result is the same.

BpmnError isn't catched by boundaryEvent.

Do you mean you have a custom ActivityBehaviour with the signal() overridden and you throw a BPMNError from there? If so, what is your use case?

[gastonscapusio]

Yes, there is a task (extends TaskActivitiBehavior) which overwrites signal.
It sends a jms message and then it waits a signal to continue processing before leaves.

Should I change this behavior?

[gastonscapusio]

The signal method throws a BpmnError due to a jms message response case.
And this BpmnError is not catched by any boundaryEvent.

Hm that sounds like a bug. If im correct, the boundary event will only work for the execute().

COuld you create a simple unit test and Jira issue with a simplified version of your activitybehaviour that shows this problem?

[gastonscapusio]

I have created the issue.

Greetings,
Just for you knowledge, the scenario explained by gastonscapusio also happens in version 5.17.

Hi again everybody,

I was just wondering there is a workaround that we could use for now. We need to propagate the throw bpmnerror to an error boundary event from the signal function.

Any ideas or suggestions are welcome.

Many thanks in advance.

Other than solving the issue, I don't see any workaround.

Best regards,
