nextBlock in Java step not working
nextBlock in Java step not working when that step is part of nested loop. I have nested steps inside a loop. One of the steps is a Java step. In that Java step I have a try-catch block. In the catch block, I am logging an error and setting nextBlock = "Log". My Log step is few steps below the Java step in the same nested loop, but when I take an exception during run time, tracer shows that I never hit the Log step. Anyone know why that is?

Hi David,
I am not fully understood your logic, however you can simply catch error in catch block (generic exception or specific to generic as per your requirement) and log error message using below method. This means that your have step that will consume and print error and will not propagate further. So you will not see any error in transition condition of your java steps.
Sample code:
boolean bFlag = false;
int a =0;
try{
if(a==1){
bFlag =true;
}
}
catch (Exception e) {
e.printStackTrace();
oLog.infoForced("Error occured");
bFlag=false;
}
You can use bFlag to perform additional operation when you encountered error.
I hope this will give some pointers to correct your issue.

Thanks for the reply Akshay. Your solution is good and I'm currently doing something equivalent. I still have a question about how 'nextBlock' works and why it doesn't appear to work correctly when inside a loop. I've seen OOTB Pega activities use 'nextBlock' but I'm not able to find any documentation on its correct use.
