@Britt: And you want to update complex processes with patches? Think that is going to work? If you leave updating variables etc out of scope (would be required in both solutions, if at all) updating a simple id in an process instance would be a lot simpler than patching a process.... although... if node id's also change... hmmm.... Oh... and btw... there is nothing typical about telecom.... they are the exception to the KISS rule ;-) View the original post : http://www.jboss.com/index.html?module=bb&op=viewtopic&p=4053650#...
