You should attend a jBPM training, eh? ;-)) A node is a wait state as soon the execution is not propagated (so if node.leave is NOT called inside of the execute method), like a "state" or "task-node" if it contain tasks... The node class propagates the token (if no action is attached), so it is NOT a wait state... Cheers Bernd View the original post : http://www.jboss.com/index.html?module=bb&op=viewtopic&p=4162156#...
