OK. I assumed, perhaps erroneously, that the component overriding rules would only work if you looked up the component by name. I believed that this code would always return an instance of ManagedJbpmContext. | public static JbpmContext instance() | { | if ( !Contexts.isEventContextActive() ) | { | throw new IllegalStateException("no active event context"); | } | return (JbpmContext) Component.getInstance(ManagedJbpmContext.class, ScopeType.EVENT); | } | Are you saying that I can install my own replacement for ManagedJbpmContext and that the ManagedJBpmContext.instance() call shown above would return my component?
