On a side note, if I dont close the jbpmContext, I dont see the taskinstances and processinstance jbpm tables updated in the database. They get updated only when I call jbpmContext.close. Alos, the processinstance and taskmanagementinstances are not autoSave entries - They are newly created entities. If there is an option of not calling jbpmCOntext close, I at least have an option of going forward in my project View the original post : http://www.jboss.com/index.html?module=bb&op=viewtopic&p=4129974#...
