Jon, Warning: I have a lot more "book learning" than real experience here. On the wiki you'll find an example called "ForEachForkActionHandler' or similar. Check it out. Re join: Updating process variables to show status is trivial - you can just use script if you want. If all you need is a running-token count, that would be sufficient. But you probably want to look at what you're going to use/implement for status UI, then work backward to what your data requirements are. -Ed Staub View the original post : http://www.jboss.com/index.html?module=bb&op=viewtopic&p=4051444#...
