Description Jiri Locker 2012-04-12 10:07:21 EDT

Description of problem:
BPMN 2.0 requires that timeCycle and timeDuration conform to the ISO-8601
format for time interval representations.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
ER5

How reproducible:
Reproducible with reccuring time intervals beginning with 'Rnn/' and itervals that use time durations, which are required to start with 'P'

Steps to Reproduce:
1.
2.
3.
  
Actual results:
Using an ISO-8601 compliant time interval expression may result with an exception similar to

> org.drools.RuntimeDroolsException: Error parsing time string: [ R/P10S ]

Expected results:
jBPM engine should be able to handle all time interval expressions that conform to ISO-8601 and interpret them correctly

Additional info:
Resolving this issue would allow for implementing CRON timers requested in https://issues.jboss.org/browse/JBPM-2889

Comment 2 Kris Verlaenen 2012-04-12 10:32:27 EDT

jBPM5 is currently using it's own legacy format for expressing timer duration and cycle.  Although the BPMN2 specification seems to require the use of ISO-8601 in certain locations, the timer properties are actually expressions, and formal expressions have a language attribute, so different languages for supporting timers are technically still possible.

While jBPM5 currently only supported the legacy format, we will be looking at adding support for IS0-8601 expressions in the future.
