Dear friend, If you have the token of that process instance you can signal it and continue to execute regardless of jboss being running. 1)Token rootToken = processInstance.getRootToken(); 2)save the token id somewhere(tknId) 3)shut down jboss 4) Token t = jbpmContext.getSession().load(org.jbpm.graph.exe.Token, tknId); 5)t.signal(); Kind Regards.
