Hi,

I came across this problem while using the Intalio server. I think this problem exists in ODE as well.

Though I don't how to test this with a testcase, any idea?

Steps to reproduce:
1) Deploy a process to the server (V1)
2) Deploy the process again (V2)
3) V1: Retired and V2: Active
4) Now activate (Process package)  V1 which is in Retired state.
5) An exception is thrown ContextException("Can't activate two processes of the same name:....) 6) Now check the status of V1 and V2, you can see that both the versions V1 and V2 are Active.

Upon Analysis of the code this is what I found:
org.apache.ode.store.ProcessStoreImpl.setState(QName, ProcessState)
a) Update the state of the process in database (this call runs in a transaction and gets committed upon success)
b) Fire state change event

The event fired in (b) is handled in org.apache.ode.axis2.ODEServer.handleEvent(ProcessStoreEvent) which then lands up in the below method org.apache.ode.bpel.engine.BpelEngineImpl.registerProcess(BpelProcess). The below code snippet finally creates the exception.

if (cachedVersion.getConf().getState() == ProcessState.ACTIVE
&& process.getConf().getState() == ProcessState.ACTIVE
&& !OdeGlobalConfig.autoRetireProcess()) {
throw new ContextException("Can't activate two processes of the same name: " + process.getConf().getPackage() + ", " + cachedVersion.getConf().getPackage() + ", name: " + process.getProcessType());
}

The problem is now since in (a) the state is already updated and committed and (b) is throwing an runtime exception, but this has no effect and hence the stated problem.
