Message Correlation not working when triggerred from inside the connector service task

Camunda 7 Topics Discussion & Questions

Hi ,
I am modelling a process using the model api and my definition has service task(implemented using Connector) followed by a catch-event.
I am having trouble in executing the flow . I have used a rest call inside the service tasks which triggers the mesasge with message name ,businesskey and processVariables.
But Once I start the process instance the execution is seen waiting at the 1st catch event but is not triggered with the rest call from the service task.
I can easily trigger the message event with the same inputs via a rest client.
Attaching the bpmn I am using .

Please advice.

Thanks and Regards,

Messaging your own process instance is problematic as discussed a few times in the forum, weird racing behaviour, etc. And imo is sort of anti-pattern. Why are you trying to have a service task message its own process instance?

Not sure, but I wouldn’t expect this to work because you are trying to invoke an event that doesn’t exist as the flow has not exited the Connector Task.
