[rules-users] Question on use of Timer node in rule flow

[Alan.Gairey at tessella.com]

I'm currently experimenting with including a Timer node within a rule 
flow.

My question is: what (if any) runtime state information is persisted by 
Drools Flow for a Timer node? I can recreate a session via a call to 
JPAKnowledgeService.loadStatefulKnowledgeSession, but if a process 
instance was previously on a Timer node, will it start from where it left 
off, or will the Timer delay start from the beginning again? For example, 
if I have a Timer node with a delay of 7 days, but the application is 
stopped / crashes after 6 days, then when I recreate my session, will the 
Timer node just wait 1 more day, or will the delay of 7 days start from 
scratch?

Thanks in advance for any help,

Alan
