Do you mean you want to start process from any activity without knowing the process definition? If there is no relationship between them, I am afraid it is impossible.   3.If you want to let process instance jump to another process definition, you could use use-process activity. You can't let a transition from a process definition to another. Cheers. -------------------------------------------------------------- Reply to this message by going to Community [http://community.jboss.org/message/536174#536174] Start a new discussion in jBPM Development at Community [http://community.jboss.org/choose-container!input.jspa?contentType=1&...]
