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.
Salaboy, the issue I have is that I want users to be able to see the process
graphically, so I think that means I need one overall process (I may use a
few sub-processes). Using rules however as you suggest is there a way to
"pause" a process until a message (/signal) with certain criteria is
inserted? I thought about using a business rule task, with a rule that
would always be false (until the node should allow processing to pass
through), but I could not get that working.
I also saw a suggestion about adding a "Condition" to the metadata for a
timer node, but that doesn't seem to be working either.
Mark - thanks for the information. I'm looking at flexible processes now
and will be in touch with Kris.
Thanks again,
-J
