[rules-users] How do I resume a paused process?

I have a process that pauses after a few nodes are executed because it reaches a Human Task node. I retrieve the persisted session with the following code: JPAKnowledgeService.loadStatefulKnowledgeSession(sessionId, kbase, null, getEnvironment()); Once I have this session object I'm not sure how to resume the paused process? I want to signal the Human Task work item as complete and have the process resume at that point. I've tried this code: WorkItemManager wm = session.getWorkItemManager(); wm.registerWorkItemHandler("Approve", new WSHumanTaskHandler()); WorkflowProcessInstance pi = (WorkflowProcessInstance) session.startProcess("processName"); Object[] nodes = pi.getNodeInstances().toArray(); WorkItem wi = ((HumanTaskNodeInstance) nodes[0]).getWorkItem(); wm.completeWorkItem(wi.getId(), null); session.dispose(); The result of this is that the workflow restarts from the first node and completes to the end. I expected that the workflow would start at the persisted location. What am I missing here? Scott Stevenson
