[rules-users] Drools Flow Persistence throws stack overflow error

[Kris Verlaenen]

This is indeed a special case.  Process instances are already stored as
part of the session runtime state, so no need to store them again as
part of the working memory.  You need to register a custom
ObjectMarshallingStrategy for ProcessInstances in the working memory
that simply retrieves them from the session state.
