Some questions about asynchronous serviceTask

[rainman]

Hi, all
I've got two questions:
1) I intended to add a boundary timer to an asynchronous service task, but it seems that the boundary timer would not be triggered under this circumstances. Why is that?

2) When there is the execution time of an asynchronous service task exceeds the lockExpTime, another job would be created and executed for the same service task. Was service tasks supposed to finish in a short time?

1: async is not something from bpmn, so adding a boundary timer to aservicetask might not have been specified in bpmn since it is not a 'waitstate'

2: 5 minutes… If it takes longer, use the send and receive task. The latter CAN have a boundary timer event btw…
