Johan, Thanks for responding. This is what I thought as well. So given that there are process instances that are persisted but have not completed, how do you go about restarting them? Is JBPM smart enough to pick up where it left off at the task that did not complete? Or is that something I have to determine and tell JBPM to start at the task node where it did not complete? thanks, James View the original post : http://www.jboss.com/index.html?module=bb&op=viewtopic&p=4005376#...
