To view the discussion, visit: http://community.jboss.org/message/636108#636108 -------------------------------------------------------------- Hello. Here's my situation : I want to figure out that some Process Definition has any running instances. JBPM API gives to us such posobility : graphSession.findProcessInstances(bpelProcessDefinition.getId()); But... if Process Definition has running instance, this instnce locks its own row at the JBPM_PROCESSINSTANCE table. and findProcessInstances method  hangs for that moment when instance will end its execution and unlock its row. Is there another way to figure out this question ? Big thanks for any response ! NOTE : JBPM version is 3 -------------------------------------------------------------- Reply to this message by going to Community [http://community.jboss.org/message/636108#636108] Start a new discussion in jBPM at Community [http://community.jboss.org/choose-container!input.jspa?contentType=1&...]
