I am not sure but I suppose you could look it up via JNDI if you are running on JBoss AS. On Tomcat you might use | ProcessEngine processEngine = Configuration.getProcessEngine(); | Question to the more advanced ones: This should not build a new one but rather return the current instance right? Afterwards you should be able to get the executionService by | processEngine.getExecutionService(); | There might be limits to the java tasks which I don't know about. So it could be that you would need to use a custom task. HTH View the original post : http://www.jboss.org/index.html?module=bb&op=viewtopic&p=4259891#...
