  |  I realize what you're saying above about Seam - I'm attempting to use the EL as you showed earlier to have an ActionHandler invoke a Seam component instead of having to implement an ActionHandler which you claim I should never have to do ;-).   Anyway, now we're coming to why I suggested earlier the possibility of creating a Seam-jBPM interceptor that fires around the execute(...) method in an ActionHandler, DecisionHandler, etc...

Yes, well, I happen to agree with you on this one. Two reasons:

(1) It is needed for the problem of jBPM async events and timers, for me to set up my Seam contexts.
(2) I would be able to transparently associate the processinstance, and save you from doing that explicitly.

Currently, AFAIK, jBPM does not provide the hooks I need for this, but I have asked Tom for them. Not sure the status there.
