Exception: Timer not configured with a valid duration/time, either hand in a java.util.Date or a String

[rangoo]

Our workflows with aync:true were working fine on WebLogic 10.3.5 ( JDK 1.6.0_24) . But on WebLogic 10.3.3 (JDK 1.6.0_18) - we are getting this exception.

Error occurred while executing job: Timer 'timerintermediatecatchevent1' was not configured with a valid duration/time, either hand in a java.util.Date or a String in format 'yyyy-MM-dd'T'hh:mm:ss'

this exception in timerevent is thrown back to our JavaTask and that is where all our processes are stuck. We are on Activiti 5.13

Looks like a bug similar to this https://jira.codehaus.org/browse/ACT-1415

I don't believe that bug is related.

So besided weblogic and jdk change you didn't do any other changes? Does it work outside of weblogic in a unit test? Pretty hard to guess whats going wrong here.

I have n't made any other changes, except for weblogic & JDK.  I will try running unit tests using WebLogic 10.3.3 - JDK 1.6.0_18 and see what happens.
