Re: [jbpm-dev] Question about workitems and abort

Hi Giovanni, My question to you is exactly what do you mean by the previous safe state? The previous safe state sounds like right after calling the EJB in your case. Are you doing sync calls before that error? Can you describe a little bit more about your scenario and how your activities are being executed?
