Most of the time u don't need to know which transition to activate (unless in special cases of forks, decisions etc..) ProcessInstance.signal() will find the default leaving transition from the current node where the root token is parked and signal it to the next node. If u really want to know which node the process-instance is in use this ProcessInstance.getRootToken().getNode() View the original post : http://www.jboss.com/index.html?module=bb&op=viewtopic&p=4029501#...
