Unsupported boundary event type

[teddy1]

Hi,
I am trying to deploy a BPMN with Activiti Probe.
The BPMN contains a simple task and a signalEventDefinition in a boundaryEvent in order to quit the task when a signal is caught, but an error occurs.

Unsupported boundary event type | Signalreceived.bpmn20.xml | line 30 | column 180
‍‍‍

 

What kind of events are supported in a boundaryEvent ? What is wrong with this BPMN ?

The BPMN :

Signal boundary event is indeed not supported.

Currently timer and error are the ones supported. This list will of course grow in the next months!

Thank you for the answer.

[fbarbon]

I can't find this on http://docs.codehaus.org/display/ACT/Roadmap . Any estimation?
Thanks in advance!

The roadmap reflects the ideas for the coming 3-6 months, so you will probably have to wait a bit.

However, you mimic a signal event using a wait state (receive task) + signal call from a service task

hi folks,

I get the same error but i am using the errorEventDefinition like this:

<boundaryEvent attachedToRef="sid-8F50573F-5FC0-461B-81C1-0B6430FA76CC" cancelActivity="false" id="sid-70A33A6D-281F-468E-A16B-1EAE0D781F56" name="" parallelMultiple="false">
         <outgoing>sid-1C63CB20-D55D-4573-87E6-0F5C8FEAD68A</outgoing>
         <errorEventDefinition errorRef="sid-8370e03b-e3ba-4058-b03d-45d21f18a4d5" id="sid-9e896a3d-1e80-48c8-9c5b-802dbdc0967c"/>
      </boundaryEvent>


what's wrong here?

kind regards
malgalad

error event support was added in 5.2. Are you using 5.2?
