[jbpm-dev] [jBPM Development] - [jBPM4] Behavior of tasks completion when inside two or more

[romain_l-m]

Hi everybody,

Here is my problem:
I do not understand the behavior of tasks completion when they are inside two or more forks. You will find the accurate questions in the test case comments.

jBPM is not new for me, and I tried to understand my problem with the documentation and the forum. I am not sure whether this subject is already discussed for jBPM 4. If it is, please could you redirect me to the good thread?

Thanks a lot for your help :)

=== Process ==================================

=== API ===================================

  | 	}

  | 	 * > Task 'task1' with execution 'test1.1.to task1'

  | 	 */
  | 	/* Questions:
  | 	 * Why do I have 2 different 'task1.1' (with different execution id)?
  | 	 * Which one should I complete?
  | 	 * Imagine task1 is not a task but a subprocess, this subprocess would be started twice. Is it normal?
  | 	 */
  | 	
  | 	// I cannot use the uniqueResult() method (the task I want to get is not unique)
