  | Either you go for WS-HT or you don't. But it doesn't make sense to rip it apart and customize bits and pieces. You'd loose the benefit of the specification in the first place.

Bernd, while we have tried to take into account that the life cycle might need to be pluggable in our design, we didn't really put a lot of focus on it, hence we don't have examples or documentation on how to change it.  But I guess you could take a look at the implementation of our TaskServiceSession.  Generic documenation on our human task service (work in progress) can be found here:
https://hudson.jboss.org/hudson/job/drools/lastSuccessfulBuild/artifact/trunk/target/docs/drools-flow/html/ch09.html.

I don't think that you should either go for WS-HT or not at all, as the implementation is fully pluggable (meaning that the process engine should be able to work with different implementations).  It just means that by default you could follow the WS-HT spec, but in cases where people want to change it, you could provide the hooks that enable them to do that.  But then they are responsible.
