ProcessInstance & ReceiveTask

[chentaoactiviti]

I use ParallelGateWay to implement two ways to the end .
But when one of them arrived the end event, the task on the other side still can be executed by user or group.only when I deleted the processInstance , they would be deleted.  So why ? Doesn't Activiti5.3 support the asynchronism?

A ProcessInstance only ends if all executions paths ends.

thanks for quickly reply.

you mean ,the gateway doesn't work? But when I used the jBPM5 ,it works.

jbpm5 != activiti 🙂

Best is to check the specs then to see what the official behaviour should be.

Hi there,

would there be any other way to achieve this in activiti? I would like to have a separate fork, such as in the parallel gateway, that allows me to end the instance through a receiveTask. Or is there another way to terminate the instance from the outside when I need some cleanup done before the endtask through a spring based service task? Instances should either end through a timer-based boundary event in one fork or a receiveEvent in the other fork in my scenario. Even better would be to be able to define a global receiveTask as a boundary event.

Thanks,
Matthias
