Thanks for your reply. I'm using the jbpm-console for manage the workflow, I just wrote some action classes implementing the ActionHandler interface. So my question now is, when the JbpmContext is closed? I mean, is the JbpmContext closed when a specific action is executed and the workflow leaves the node (calling ExecutionContext.leavenode() ) or do I need to close it before leaving the node in order to release resources?
