[jboss-user] [JBoss jBPM] - Re: How to best control access from multiple threads to a Pr

[kukeltje]

Guys.... please...... how does a random incomming message know how to signal the process? You clearly do not state that. You say just signal the process. Your example demonstrates that this is what you think you will do. What is the advantage of  having a process if any incoming message for that process instance can signal the process independent of the state it is in....

What you have to build is a component that knows the relation between a state/task/node and an incomming message (e.g. via a task-name<->xsd mapping). An incomming message should trigger that code to look up a task with the corresponding name and signal that *task*, not the processinstance.

It has... it's called assigning a task to an actor. Sure, you can circumvent this if you use a low level api. There will not be an access violation or anything if another actor does it, but that means *your* application provided a way to achieve this.
