While throwing a exception from the execute method of service task, I am getting “No matching parent execution for error code followup.email.error found”. Even though I have defined error handling in the xml and follwing error handling service task.

\<boundaryEvent id=“boundaryerror1” name=“emailBoundaryError” attachedToRef=“emailsubprocess”\>  
\<errorEventDefinition errorRef=“followup.email.error”\>\</errorEventDefinition\>  
\</boundaryEvent\>  
\<sequenceFlow id=“flow76” sourceRef=“boundaryerror1” targetRef=“errorHandlerServiceTask”\>\</sequenceFlow\>

Code Snippet:  
@Override  
public void execute( final DelegateExecution execution ) {  
try {  
//throw exception  
} catch ( final Exception e ) {  
runtimeService.setVariable( execution.getId(), “errorlogging”, e );  
throw new BpmnError( “followup.email.error”, “followup email error detail” );  
}  
}

That should work indeed. Can you paste your full process definition? Did you define the error at the process instance level?
