Description Marek Baluch 2012-03-02 10:50:28 UTC
Description of problem:

Test:
org.jbpm.context.exe.variableinstance.SerializableInstanceDbTest.testSerializableVariableKeepsId

is failing with message:

java.lang.ClassCastException: java.math.BigDecimal cannot be cast to java.math.BigInteger
    at  org.jbpm.context.exe.variableinstance.SerializableInstanceDbTest.getLatestDbId(SerializableInstanceDbTest.java:138)
    at org.jbpm.context.exe.variableinstance.SerializableInstanceDbTest.testSerializableVariableKeepsId(SerializableInstanceDbTest.java:69)
    at org.jbpm.db.AbstractDbTestCase.runTest(AbstractDbTestCase.java:73)

The exception is thrown when an attempt is made to cast the retrieved ID (from the JBPM_BYTEARRAY table) to BigInteger.

Additional info:

Looks like this is caused by Hibernate mapping the NUMERIC and NUMBER data type to BigDecimal when not specified otherwise.

Hi Marek,

Sorry, I thought I posted a comment to this before I went on PTO, but it's not showing up here. 

In any case, which DB did you see this with?

Comment 2 Marek Baluch 2012-03-12 11:42:54 UTC
Hi Marco! Welcome back!

NP - I know you where enjoying the snow;).

Which databases? All which declare the ID column on JBPM_BYTEARRAY as 'number' or 'numeric'. If I remember correctly then this includes mssql, sybase and oracle.

Comment 3 Rick Wagner 2012-03-19 21:39:23 UTC
GSS considers this medium priority.  jBPM gets plenty of attention, anything we can do to make it smoother is appreciated.

Comment 5 Marek Baluch 2012-06-07 14:28:18 UTC
On Len's request appending comment:

I don't think this is a regression. I was not able to found any bug fixes which would cause this error.
