evaluate the previous methods ----------------------------- Key: JBPM-1288 URL: http://jira.jboss.com/jira/browse/JBPM-1288 Project: JBoss jBPM Issue Type: Task Security Level: Public (Everyone can see) Components: PVM Reporter: Tom Baeyens this relates to Execution.getPreviousNode() Execution.getPreviousTransition() Node.isPreviousNeeded() Comment in Execution.java: // TODO evaluate the previous methods // these methods are kind of performance optimisations. a sequence and // some other specific control flow implementations can be optimised if they // have access to the previous node or transition. // Those activities could also be implemented by letting the activities store // the contextual information in process variables or some other execution // context. But with the previous properties as done now, these control flow // nodes can be implemented without storing an extra record. It's only a property // that is only updated when the node configuration indicates that it's needed. // (see also Node.isPreviousNeeded()) -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - If you think it was sent incorrectly contact one of the administrators: http://jira.jboss.com/jira/secure/Administrators.jspa - For more information on JIRA, see: http://www.atlassian.com/software/jira
