inheritance and subflows error

amy

Inherited flow doesn't work when returning to a sub-flow.

Scenario:

* Abstract flow definition of global menu transitions.

* Flow starts then triggers a subflow.

* Menu clicked when in subflow (results in error 'No transition found on occurrence of event')

* Adding the GT transition (which should of been inherited) into subflow-state resolves the problem but defeats the point sadly.

Workaround:  Code:
lt;subflow-state id=quot;edit.subflowquot; subflow=quot;some-flowquot;gt;  .  .  lt;transition on=quot;*quot; to=quot;${currentEvent}quot;/gt;  
lt;/subflow-stategt;James,

I'm wondering if this is an issue with flow inheritance or with subflows using a global transition.  Can you try moving the transition into the global-transitions block of the concrete flow definition.

If that works, then this is an inheritance issue.  If not it is a subflow issue.

Either way, please open a JIRA.

Adding the GT in the concrete flow did not resolve the problem.

Having looked into this further I don't think there is a problem with SWF2.0.  I was missing a set of GT's to handle the end-state ID returned from the sub-flow.

This was why my workaround lt;transition on=quot;*quot; to=quot;${currentEvent}quot; /gt; works because 'currentEvent' equals an inherited lt;end-stategt; which then starts a new flow via flowRedirect.

Hope you didn't spend much time of looking into this yet!
