    The setup for this problem involves a PA containing
    javascript, and a Toolkit which contains a service which also
    contains javascript in an external file.  The PA invokes the
    service using one the two javascript methods:
    tw.system.executeServiceByName, or
    tw.system.model.findServiceByName().execute().  The toolkit
    service might receive the following error: CWLLG2041E "tw.*"
    is not defined error when executing javascript.
    

Problem conclusion

  • The BPM runtime uses the Rhino javascript implementation.
    Rhino specifies that there is only one active
    org.mozilla.javascript.Context object per thread.  When a
    service is invoked using tw.system.executeServiceByName, or
    tw.system.model.findServiceByName().execute(), it runs on the
    same thread as the invoker.  This caused the Rhino Context to
    carry old scope information from the PA into the toolkit
    service, which caused the error.  The solution is to exit the
    Rhino Context before invoking an external service.  This
    causes a new Rhino Context to be associated with the toolkit
    service.  Upon return from the toolkit service, the Rhino
    Context is restored to the original.
    An interim fix for 8.0.1.1 is available.
