[jboss-user] [JBoss jBPM] - jBPM Java implementation; what does the ExecutionContext do?

Hi everyone, I have spent the last couple of days trying to figure out how jBPM works. This http://docs.jboss.com/jbpm/v3/userguide/index.html has been extremely useful. There is however one question I can't seem to find an answer to: what is the ExecutionContext good for? Intuitively I'd say that it probably stores information that's relevant for the entire runtime of the process instance. Having the file ExecutionContext.java in front of me as I write this, I am still clueless as to how its fields are initialised with useful information. So, what would I like to know? When does the ExecutionContext of a ProcessInstance get initialised? But probably more important than that, is it ProcessInstance specific? Or rather just Token-specific? I'd really appreciate any constructive input. (Feel free to get technical on my ass!) Thanks! View the original post : http://www.jboss.com/index.html?module=bb&op=viewtopic&p=4153671#...
