The User Task after Intermediate Signaling Catch Event is not available

[chanjar]

Hi,

I'm doing some practice with Activiti and got stuck with the following problem:

The User Task after Intermediate Signaling Catch Event is not available.

Below is the Activiti diagram xml file and java code:

Problem solved.
The execution must be at signal catch event before signal is thrown.
In my bpmn files the  catching activity is after throwing activity, so when the execution comes to catching activity, the signal is already gone.
