What i do is since the custom work items are actually persisted in the database by the jbpm, when the system goes down before they've completed i've put some extra code to restart the work items present in the database as bootstrap code on the initialization of the system i.e. for (Object resultObject : results) { //where results are the rows from selecting the workitems from the database having name equal to my custom work items                 WorkItemInfo workItemInfo = (WorkItemInfo) resultObject;                 WorkItem workItem = workItemInfo.getWorkItem(ksession.getEnvironment());                 MyCustomWorkItemHandler myCustomWorkItemHandler = new MyCustomWorkItemHandler ();                 myCustomWorkItemHandler .executeWorkItem(workItem, ksession.getWorkItemManager());             } -------------------------------------------------------------- Reply to this message by going to Community [http://community.jboss.org/message/609064#609064] Start a new discussion in jBPM at Community [http://community.jboss.org/choose-container!input.jspa?contentType=1&...]
