1. Delivers superbly, i enhanced it to get a paginated list, which i can plug right into my ui. | List l = query.setFirstResult(page * pageSize).setMaxResults(pageSize+1).list(); | 2. to get the status of the process, i have a different ui / status. In my case i have 10,000 pieces of works checked in as tasks(so getting them by actor id will get me all of them), i filter them based on some variable like 'collectionName', which splits up the tasks by collection, hence much more manageable, faster performance. cheers View the original post : http://www.jboss.com/index.html?module=bb&op=viewtopic&p=3972131#...
