anonymous wrote : 1) It appears that any saving of data to the database (such as process instance state) doesn't commit until the JbpmContext is closed. This then seemed to suggest that a JbpmContext needed to be created and closed each time data needed to be saved to the database. i create a new JbpmContext each time i begin an transaction. I use CMT mecanism. I initialize my JbpmContext with a JbpmConfiguration get from JNDI(i use jbpm.sar) Hope this helps. Regards, Jean.
