Maybe I'm thinking of this the wrong way.. But I have the following requirement.. trigger a business process via web service.. handle a few steps then fire a second process and return immediately... IE: I don't want the client of the first process to wait for the second process to finish.. To accomplish this I had first created a custom action to send a JMS message to trigger the second process instance.. But since there was a sub process task in the jBPM I figured I'd use that instead.. save me the hassle of creating an esb entry to front the second process in the ESB.. But this doesn't seem to do a fire and forget (I had thought sync="true" would do this but the process still waits.)
So do you think I should use a JMS message or is there a way to accomplish with built in jBPM actions?
thanks!
