In general you need the tokenId (long), in case you model a process with multiple branches of execution and the transitionName (String), should you have multiple outgoing transitions at some point. With these parameters, use jbpmContext.loadToken(tokenId), then call token.signal(transitionName). You don't need the state, because the Token object you load will already contain a pointer to it.
