Thanks kukeltje, bad wording on my part... should have said "automatic activities", sorry about that. In our case we have a number of java activities that transition from one to another. Looking to restart the java activity (basically transition again) if we shutdown while a given java activity is processing. Guessing I need to manually transition these, just unclear how to go about. Any guidance much appreciated! View the original post : http://www.jboss.org/index.html?module=bb&op=viewtopic&p=4268260#...
