Is there a way to have a system generated event continue a business processes? Situation ======= I have a Seam page flow that create a business process as the last step in the page flow. The business process immediately begins processing the request but as part of the process submits a request to third party vendor that may take several days to complete. Once the vendor completes the task our system will be notified. I've tried modeling this situation as a wait state but I cannot find any documentation on how to continue the business process. There are references to the @StartTask and @EndTask for user generated continuations that use a request parameter TaskID. Is there something similar for system events that an EJB could initiate (I'm hoping without an http request and creating a system user)? I've attempted starting the process using the technique described in the JBpm documentation. JbpmContext context = JbpmConfiguration.getInstance().createJbpmContext(); try { GraphSession session = context.getGraphSession(); ProcessDefinition processDefinition = session.findLatestProcessDefinition("myProcess"); ProcessInstance processInstance = new ProcessInstance(processDefinition); ContextInstance contextInstance = processInstance.getContextInstance(); contextInstance.createVariable("param1", paramInstance.getId()); Token token = processInstance.getRootToken(); token.signal(); context.save(processInstance); } finally { context.close(); } This results in the exception java.lang.IllegalStateException: No application context active at org.jboss.seam.Component.forName(Component.java:1577) at org.jboss.seam.Component.getInstance(Component.java:1627) at org.jboss.seam.Component.getInstance(Component.java:1610) I believe this is a result of the seam context not properly being initialized. Configuration =========== I'm using seam version 1.2.1 with JBoss 4.0.5 with EJB3.0 Any assistance would greatly be appreciated.
