What is the best practice in your opinion?

By adding script tasks to a process  we can easily modify the behavior of our processes without modifying any Java class. We can use this type of task to add logs, messages, or to perform data transformation tasks in our processes. As a rule of thumb, script tasks shouldn’t contain business logic inside them. Abstract tasks, human tasks, and service tasks are better place to implement this kind of logic.” In our company we usually implement the business logic in plain classes and call methods from the script tasks.

To view the discussion, visit: https://community.jboss.org/message/819907#819907 -------------------------------------------------------------- Hi Guillermo L, We do as well integrate jBPM with JEE6 and run it under JBoss AS 7. We have a set of services which we instantiate at startup and then pass into jBPM engine as a global variable. It is not strictly speaking necessary, though, as the service set container is a singleton and can be accessed from any participating class. One of the services is a persistence service. We receive commands via MDB. There is an injection point in the MDB for the persistence context. Every time a command is invoked we pass the injected instance to our persistence service and to the Drools/jBPM engine to make them participate in the container’s transaction. I guess that the similar approach can be used in your case as well with your CDI beans.

To view the discussion, visit: https://community.jboss.org/message/819925#819925 -------------------------------------------------------------- Based on what I understood from reading of the “jBPM5 Developer Guide” book Service Task is designed for integrating when you run within SOA implementation. The main parameters are Interface and Operation. Operation is a method on the Interface to be invoked. The Abstract Task is an extension point where you define what object you wish to call and bind it via Task Name. The Task Name is used when you register a handler for your task. Hope this helps. Someone may want to correct me if I’m wrong.
