I see that in the code in ProcessInstanceInfo which would let me get the ProcessInstance. But I cannot see any way to find the session from there.

I believe that I need to recreate all the old sessions on restart which is exactly what I need since I can then assert new facts into these sessions which will cause the workflow processes to continue processing (remember, I have a session per process). 

I found a mention of this in an old post by Kris (from Aug 22, 2009):

but I am still not sure how I do this or whether or not I need to persist the unique session IDs when I create them in the first place

thanks.
