You can write your own custom work item handler which can handle performing all the necessary glue however you want that part of the system to work. The drools workflow docs provide details on how to go about doing this - plus I think you may be able to find some further tutorials and blog posts via google.

I want to write a custom work item that helps me to pass some of the data from the process to some other application through its interface. Will I be able to do that?? Thanks. Santosh Mukherjee.

-----Original Message----- From: rules-users-bounces(a)lists.jboss.org [mailto:rules-users- bounces(a)lists.jboss.org] On Behalf Of jawa Sent: 14 July 2010 16:36 To: rules-users(a)lists.jboss.org Subject: Re: [rules-users] Drools Flow - Human Task Hi, Thanks for your response but the problem is that I want flow to stop at that point while I ask question to customer and wait there until question is replied by customer. It can take hours/days for customer to come back. With custom work item I don't think I would be able to setup flow to stop at that point? Or am I missing something?
