Cannot make event sub-process non-interrupting

[chanjar]

Hi,

The document says:

<blockcode>
An Event Sub-Process may be interrupting or non-interrupting.
…
The fact whether the subprocess is interrupting is configured using the start event triggering the Event Sub-Process.
</blockcode>

But there is no place in Activiti Designer to config a start event in event sub-process non-interrupting.

So I edit the xml file and add parallelMultiple="true" isInterrupting="false" attribute on startEvent element.

But the event sub-process is still interrupting.

Is there any solution or workaround?

below is code:

    @Test
    @Deployment(resources = "me/chanjar/eventsubprocess/event-subprocess.bpmn")
    public void messageStartEvent() {
      String processDefinitionKey = "event-subprocess";
      runtimeService.startProcessInstanceByKey(processDefinitionKey);
      
      sendMessage(processDefinitionKey);
      Task task3 = taskService.createTaskQuery().processDefinitionKey(processDefinitionKey).taskDefinitionKey("usertask3").singleResult();
      taskService.complete(task3.getId());

      // task1 is null
      Task task1 = taskService.createTaskQuery().processDefinitionKey(processDefinitionKey).taskDefinitionKey("usertask1").singleResult();
    }

anyone can help ?

Hi,

You could have a look on the following jUnit test in activiti sources org.activiti.engine.test.bpmn.event.message.MessageEventSubprocessTest#testInterruptingUnderProcessDefinition().
