Re: [rules-users] Drools Flow 5.1.0.M1 - Persistence - WorkItemInfo Entity

If "a" is correct - may be I can customize the "JPAWorkItemManager" for my usage? Am I on the right path or I am missing something.

So if that is true we have got the same data stored twice? Is this correct? b) If "a" is true how can we avoid storing in the WorkItemInfo - is there somehow we can map the JPA entity to the WorkItemInfo - so that it doesn't gets stored twice? Thanks Vijay
