Timer bondary event does not trigger

[chantme]

Hello

I made a test for discovering the timer boundary event

DC complete task01, Brian is assigned task02
If he does not complete it in 1 minute, Joe will be assigned on task03.

To test it, I put a Thread.sleep() during 65 secondes juste after the completion of task01

But it seems that the timer boundary never triggers, and Joe never gets assigned …

Could you tell what is wrong, or what I do not understand  :?

Thank you…

André

Set jobExecutorActivate to true, and try it.

<property name="jobExecutorActivate" value="true" />

It works, thank you

I was confused by a sentence in page 120 of the Activiti book which tells "By default, the job executor is active in th Activiti Engine. This can be overridden by defining a jobExecutorActivate property with a value of false on the engine configuration", so I disregarded this parameter….

I should not rely on default behaviour  :?
