[rules-users] When is JPAWorkItemManager used in Drools Flow?

[Alan.Gairey at tessella.com]

I've been doing some testing recently with the 5.1 snapshot of Drools 
(build 3280). The JPA state persistence in Drools Flow appears to be much 
more solid (no more NullPointerExceptions) - many thanks for this.
One question I still have though is with the loading of existing sessions 
from the database; the loadStatefulKnowledgeSession method of class 
JPAKnowledgeServiceProviderImpl ultimately creates an instance of 
CommandBasedStatefulKnowledgeSession to encapsulate the session state. 
However, this class uses an anonymous local class for its work item 
manager. I would have expected JPAWorkItemManager to have been used 
instead, so that all the existing work items are also read back into 
memory from the database. Or am I missing something? As it is, I have to 
explicitly use an EntityManager to do this.
Thanks,
Alan
