I have a task node (Ex. PM_Approval) in the process definition. There are two transitions associated with this node called "Accepted" & "Denied" . The Accepted transition connects to another Task Node "HOD_Approval" .And the Denied ends up with end-state....... The selection of transition should base on the decision , given by user in the action class.(ProcessAction in my design...given below.) Now how to design this .. I tried with the following , but problem is that, when ever it goes to end state by selecting Reject transition, it is again begins from the current Node. Please suggest....what is going wrong.. with my design.. Processdefinition.xml | <start-state name="start"> | <transition to="PM_Approval" name="Test"></transition> | </start-state> | | | <task-node name="PM_Approval" > | <event type="node-enter"> | <action class="com.sample.action.ProcessAction"> | </action> | </event> | <transition to="HOD_Approval"></transition> | <transition to="end-state" name="Denied"></transition> | </task-node> ProcessAction.java

| As you can see, even when decision is denied , it is going to end state.. but again coming to next node...
