I tried what you suggested me, but it did not work. I finally could solve my problems with transient object exception, saving explicitly through Hibernate Session: jbpmContext.getSession().save(executionContext.getTaskMgmtInstance()); or jbpmContext.getSession().save(contextInstance); depending on the case. I don't know if this is right, but at least worked. I saw one post from a guy who had the same problem when deployed the process programmatically, so that's why I post my solution Thanks! Fernando.
