Andy R. [http://community.jboss.org/people/jbpm5learner] created the discussion "Re: jBPM 5: how save a ProcessInstance ?" To view the discussion, visit: http://community.jboss.org/message/607685#607685 -------------------------------------------------------------- The fact that the processInstance is automatically saved may be convenient. But doing some investigation on the jbpm5-source I found some interesting code examples that may offer explicit saving of a ProcessInstance: EntityManagerFactory emf = Persistence.+createEntityManagerFactory+( "org.jbpm.persistence.jpa");JpaProcessPersistenceContextManager procPersistMgr = *new* JpaProcessPersistenceContextManager(env);ProcessInstanceInfo procInfo = *new* ProcessInstanceInfo(procInstance); ProcessPersistenceContext persistContext = procPersistMgr.getProcessPersistenceContext();persistContext.persist(procInfo); The "ProcessPersistenceContext" allows to persist a so-called ProcessInstanceInfo-object. This object contains a ProcessInstance-object. Are you consequently sure that there is no way to persist  ProcessInstance on-demand ?  # -------------------------------------------------------------- Reply to this message by going to Community [http://community.jboss.org/message/607685#607685] Start a new discussion in jBPM at Community [http://community.jboss.org/choose-container!input.jspa?contentType=1&...]
