[rules-users] Drools Flow: Workitems with the same name

Hey Drools Crew, Business process can be designed to have more the one workitem ( human task ) with the same name. So two questions here: 1. Confirming: "When registering handlers all of the workitems with the same name will use the same ( registered to the name ) handler?" 2. What is the way for the client to identify the workitem in this case? Let's say there is a "truly" parallel definition: /---> workitem1 ( async send to external system, waiting for completion ) split ----> workitem2 ( async send to external system, waiting for completion ) \---> workitem3 ( async send to external system, waiting for completion ) If workitem1 and workitem3 have the same name, and the response came back for workitem3, how do the client know to "complete" workitem3 vs. workitem1? Workitem IDs are completely workflow / drools-flow related, and when ( let's say ) approval has returned from an external system, a client should just tell one of the business workflow services to: completeApprovalFor( ExternalSystem.SuchAndSuch ) workflow service will have a handler to a workflowInstance { businessId, sessionId, processInstanceId, List<Work items in progress>, etc.. }, so if it is a single workitem the process is waiting for, there is no problem, but if there are more workitems that make the process to wait + they may have the same name, it creates a problem. One solution (for the above specific case) would be to link external systems with work item ids, so instead of List< Workitems in progress >, it would be Map< ExternalSystem, Workitem >. But it just looks to complex and specific... Anything the framework can help with?
