Hi Kris,
I have a workflow that should be persisted at a wait-state (safe point) that uses an intermediateCatchEvent via conditionalExpression. When the process is reloaded, my understanding is the process instance will continue where it left off - as you mentioned.
However, the workflow is designed so that a drools rule is what actually unblocks the blocking conditional wait step.
ex:
<intermediateCatchEvent id="_6" name="Wait for Document Approval" >
<conditionalEventDefinition>
MyDocument(status == "Approved")
</...>
</...>
then in a rule defined in the same session:
rule X
when:
....
then:
$myDocument.setStatus("Approved")
I see the rule firing, but the workflow is never advanced out of the block state.
Any explanation?
