Yeah, would be a cool thing to have! I am quite interested in the results... What's still missing is the time issue, so Ronalds proposal could be extended a bit: | <timer name="xyz" duedate="#{deadlineDate} - 1 business day AFTER 09:00"></timer> | Or something like that... Let's see what the project team which needs it at the moments says... But I also like the idea not to introduce new attributes, so no schema changes are required. This can may be done in jbpm 4!
