Re: [rules-users] Is Flow / jBPM dying on the vine?

What you seem to be looking for is a "Conditional Start Event" where you can define the condition using Drools syntax. What you should do when you want to introduce a "wait point" is to do the merge of you current flow with one of this Conditional Start Event using an Converging Parallel Gateway. The gateway will not continue its execution until all of its branches get executed. That is a 100& BPMN2 solution (you could also use complex gateways, but I'm not sure in which degree are they supported in jBPM5). Another solution, more user friendly and even easier to implement and maintain is to use asynchronous work items that will be completed by rules when certain condition is met. The good thing about this solution is that is easy to create your own task definition to put in the editor palette and that you can create a single work item handler and reuse it for all your 'wait points'.
