When we define two parallel branches in a business process we represent a real situation where two task needs to be completed in parallel. We are not expressing something low level as Concurrent (multi threaded) programming.

Does this explanation answer your question?

Greetings for all,

We're learning about jboss rules ( drools ), in particular, drools flow by the workflow topic.

In the documentation, the parallelism is solved by means of split node of type 1 (AND). 
However, when we execute the testing ,the execution is sequential.

In particular, the idea is that our workflow executes two subflows in parallel. For this target we configured a 
"split node" with type 'AND' and a "join node" with type 'AND', no more configuration, Is it required another configurations?  
Is it problem of standalone applications? We don't know.


This is the case:
