[jboss-dev-forums] [Design of JBoss jBPM] - Re: delayed execution

[tom.baeyens@jboss.com]

delayed execution is done within the same transaction.  asynchronous continuation introduces a wait state and continues execution in another transaction.  

delayed execution transforms tail recursion into a while loop.

but unless you have a while loop, i think there is less chance that you run into a problem.

another motivation whas that it will reduce the overall runtime footprint.  if on average, you have 2 automatic nodes in a row, this will reduce the depth of the call stack of all concurrent threads.
