[jboss-user] [JBoss jBPM] - JbpmContext usage & best practices

Hi!, I am using JBPM + Spring (springmodules0.8a) + Struts to create an application. I would like to know what are the best practices regarding the jbpmContext and how to create it/reuse it. This is my spring configuration | <bean id="dc-workflow" | class="org.springmodules.workflow.jbpm31.definition.ProcessDefinitionFactoryBean"> | <property name="definitionLocation" | value="classpath:dc/processdefinition.xml"/> | </bean> | | <bean id="jbpmConfiguration" | class="com.ea.dc.core.CustomLocalJbpmConfigFactoryBean"> | <property name="sessionFactory" ref="sessionFactory"/> | <property name="configuration" value="classpath:jbpm.cfg.xml"/> | <!-- property name="configuration" value="classpath:jbpm.cfg.xml"/ --> | <property name="processDefinitions"> | <list> | <ref local="dc-workflow"/> | </list> | </property> | <property name="processDefinitionsResources"> | <list> | <value>classpath:dc/processdefinition.xml</value> | </list> | </property> | </bean> | | <!-- jBPM template --> | <bean id="jbpmTemplate" class="org.springmodules.workflow.jbpm31.JbpmTemplate"> | <constructor-arg index="0" ref="jbpmConfiguration"/> | <constructor-arg index="1" ref="dc-workflow"/> | </bean> and then I am injecting those beans to a service of mine... now, whenever I want to do something with the workflow, I do something like: /** Moves the process forward. | * | * @param jobId the process instance id | * @param transitionId the transition id to select | */ | public void moveForward(final Long jobId, final String transitionName){ | JbpmContext jbpmContext = getContext(); | | try { | ProcessInstance instance = jbpmContext.getProcessInstanceForUpdate(jobId); | | instance.signal(transitionName); | } finally { | // make sure we save everything | jbpmContext.close(); | } | } as shown in the documentation... the thing is... I am closing the context every time I leave a service method... isn't it better to leave it open? Is this a good practice? I was thinking about using something similar to openSessionInView for the jbpmContext (though I'm not sure how to do it)... will that be better? Any ideas/pointers would be great!
