Thanks a lot for the reply.
1) Below is the error message I get from running the example:

Aside from this example, is there an easier way to implement database persistence?
2) I am designing a worklow process that simulates writing a file to an archive and it is relevant for business, so it would be better if it is easy to understand.
When the task exceeds a certain time limit, it will enter a human task to prompt the user if he would like to retry or cancel the task, therefore requires the looping.
Is there a specific node that can implement that function?
3) Is it possible to get ksession from an external process without passing in the StatefulKnowledgeBaseSession as a parameter?
To do signaling from an external source, I need to execute ksession.signalEvent(type, eventData);
But I do not want the external process to know the ksession directly by passing it in as a parameter. So is it possible to obtain the ksession from WorkItem or WorkItemManager?
