Not using WS Human Task Handler, just a custom work item handler (since not every long running process is a human task): Is there a way to use a Variable Persistence mechanism, to automatically persist an ID of the work item that causes a flow to suspend [ puts it in a wait state ]? This way when the flow resumes all we have to do is processInstance.getVariable("workItemId") to get exactly _that_ work item ID that needs to be completed. [ I understand this can be done manually from the a custom work item handler, but then a different approach is used, different tables get updated, artificial relationship between session / processInstance and workItem needs to be manually established, etc.. + we would not be able to do "processInstance.getVariable("workItemId")" ] Thank you, /Anatoly -- View this message in context: http://n3.nabble.com/Drools-Flow-WORK-ITEM-ID-as-a-flow-variable-tp680939...
